For centuries, gold and silver have been trusted stores of value—symbols of stability in uncertain times. Today, that same value is entering a new phase.
Tokenized gold and silver are now available in Edge.
Not as physical bars in your possession. Not as a brokerage balance locked inside a traditional account. But as on-chain digital assets that you can hold and transfer directly from your wallet.
Old-world value. Modern rails.
What Does “On-Chain Gold & Silver” Mean?
In Edge, you can hold tokenized representations of gold and silver. These tokens are designed to track the price of physical metal and are backed by reserves held by the issuing entities.
It’s important to be clear about what this means.
You hold the tokens in your self-custody wallet. You control the private keys. You can send, receive, and swap the tokens on-chain without relying on Edge to custody them for you.
However, the underlying metal is not in your possession. The gold or silver backing these tokens is held in reserve by a custodian on behalf of the issuer. In that sense, these assets are not fully trustless or purely self-custodied commodities. They represent a claim on metal held elsewhere.
You control the digital asset. The physical metal is custodied by the issuer’s reserve structure.
This model makes gold and silver significantly more accessible and usable than traditional rails, while still maintaining transparency about how the backing works.
Assets Available in Edge
Gold exposure is available through XAUT (Tether Gold) and PAXG (Pax Gold), both of which are backed by physical gold reserves held in custody by their respective issuers. XAUT is currently available for buy and sell within Edge via MoonPay, with additional support expanding over time.
Silver exposure is available through SLVon (Ondo Silver), which provides tokenized access to silver-backed structures.
Each of these assets lives on-chain and can be managed inside Edge like other supported digital assets.
Why It Matters
Gold and silver have endured for centuries because they are not hype-driven assets. They have historically served as stores of value across monetary regimes and economic cycles.
Tokenization does not change the nature of the metal itself. What it changes is access.
By bringing gold- and silver-backed tokens on-chain, users gain portability, global access, and the ability to move between crypto and metal exposure within a single wallet interface. Settlement is faster. Transfers are simpler. Integration with modern digital asset infrastructure becomes seamless.
This is not about pretending physical bullion lives inside your phone. It is about expanding the ways you can access and manage gold and silver exposure in a digitally native world.
