Marketnode, an APAC digital market infrastructure operator, has announced its collaboration with Lion Global Investors to pioneer onchain access to the LionGlobal Physical Gold Fund.

Through the leveraging of Marketnode’s distribution infrastructure and Solana’s blockchain, units can be subscribed to and redeemed onchain, in a bid to bridge the gap between traditional investment products and the digital asset economy.

It becomes the first gold fund backed by physical gold, fully vaulted in Singapore, and aims to enable digital investors to gain institutional-grade exposure to physical gold held in Singapore’s custody ecosystem.

The fund also provides full insurance coverage on allocated gold bars, in addition to options for in-kind redemption.

Head of digital assets at Marketnode, Andrew Scott, says: “Marketnode is thrilled to support this landmark transaction, facilitating unique access to literal digital gold.”

Darius Foo, head of distribution business at Lion Gold Investors, adds: “We are pleased to partner with Marketnode and the Solana Foundation to avail Singapore’s first physical gold fund with gold bars vaulted in Singapore.”
