MG 999 is different from physical gold funds because it does not store metal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"2558\">Instead, it uses a token mechanism engineered to mirror market movement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"2558\">Standard Chartered\u2019s involvement fits into broader expansion in Asia through SC Ventures, which also holds majority stakes in Zodia Custody and Zodia Markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"2558\">These platforms focus on institutional digital-asset access, strengthening the bank\u2019s position in real-world asset tokenisation as the sector gains momentum across treasuries, bonds, funds, and commodities.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2560\" data-end=\"2587\">Global demand conditions<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2589\" data-end=\"3209\">The launch comes at a time when central banks have been increasing gold reserves. Market watchers have linked this trend to concerns about the long-term role of the US dollar and a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2589\" data-end=\"3209\">Experts have also cited Trump\u2019s tariff policies as a driver of interest in safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2589\" data-end=\"3209\">Last month, Standard Chartered joined other firms in launching a physically backed gold product in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2589\" data-end=\"3209\">In that fund, the bank acts as custodian for bullion stored at the Le Freeport facility near Changi Airport. That offering targets investors wanting allocated metal rather than tokenised exposure.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3211\" data-end=\"3238\">Jewellery market lending<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3240\" data-end=\"3700\">MG 999 also includes a lending element tied to Singapore\u2019s jewellery sector.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3240\" data-end=\"3700\">Mustafa Gold has been named as the first borrower. The structure lets the retailer use its jewellery inventory as collateral while keeping the pieces available for customers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3240\" data-end=\"3700\">Libeara and FundBridge say this design shows how tokenisation can connect investment products with working-capital needs in traditional retail markets, expanding digital use cases beyond asset tracking alone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/standard-chartered-expands-into-tokenised-gold-with-libeara-in-singapore\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Libeara developed the fund with FundBridge Capital for Singapore\u2019s market.
