DBS Bank announced plans to offer tokenised physical gold to its retail customers via its digibank app, slated for release in the latter half of 2026. Each digital token will represent ownership of one gram of actual gold securely stored in a dedicated vault located in Singapore. This initiative aims to provide investors with a convenient and accessible way to trade gold digitally. The bank will physically back each token with gold, ensuring its value is tied to the precious metal’s market price. This move reflects a growing trend in the financial sector towards tokenising assets, offering increased liquidity and fractional ownership. DBS believes this service will appeal to both seasoned investors and those new to the gold market. The service is intended to simplify gold investment and reduce traditional barriers to entry.
