Merging tradition with innovation, Swissgrams created the only gold-backed digital token that meets Swiss standards.
100% backed physical gold stored in Swiss vaults
Developed as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain
Seamlessly redeemable and deliverable in gold bars as small as 100g
Created by Swiss experts, governed by Swiss Law
As resilient as the gold that backs it
At Swissgrams we are dedicated to redefining the concept of value in the digital asset space, by combining the resilience and intrinsic value of physical precious metals with the efficiency and transparency of blockchain technology.
Gold has served as a store of value for centuries and is widely recognized as a safe-haven asset and a reliable hedge against crises and inflation. Held in its physical form and stored in a private vault in a safe jurisdiction like Switzerland, it also offers investors additional advantages, such as protection from banking crises and from systemic and political crises, all being scenarios that can present threats to private property. The ability to directly access and retrieve one’s holdings offers valuable flexibility and reinforces individual financial sovereignty.
Investing in physical gold and storing it in high security vaults in Switzerland might come with a lot of benefits, but it isn’t always easy, convenient or accessible to everyone. It can be unaffordable for the ordinary saver, it might be too burdensome or too expensive to quickly trade for the active investor. This is where blockchain technology and tokenization comes in. Not only does it allow for efficient and quick transactions, but it also offers transparent and auditable tracking of the gold backing each Swissgrams token (SWG). Each transaction and the corresponding gold reserves can be verified on the blockchain, enhancing trust and accountability. Our tokens also allow for the division of physical gold into smaller units, enabling investors to own fractions of a gold bar, thereby making it more accessible to a much broader range of investors.
Swissgrams lowers the investment hurdle to own and hold real physical gold without any counter party risk in a decentralized, transparent and secure manner. This allows individuals from all over the world to protect themselves against inflation and save in physical precious metals stored in the best jurisdiction in terms of private property rights.
Our digital
tokens are 100% backed by physical gold, stored outside the banking system in
private Swiss vaults. They are seamlessly convertible and redeemable in 1kg
gold bars and they can also be redeemed in smaller formats, down to 100g bars. Eventually,
Swissgrams investors will be able to redeem their metals all over the world,
through our global dealer network. Swissgrams AG and our gold-backed tokens
(SWG) are also governed by the clear and well-established regulations of the
Swiss crypto legal framework, offering investors a reliable, simple and
convenient way to invest in the safest of safe havens.
