VCI Global has been awarded a two hundred million dollar consultancy mandate to design and implement Bridge Gold, an institutional grade stablecoin backed entirely by allocated physical gold stored in bank vaults across Switzerland and Singapore. The project is being led through Smart Bridge Technologies, the company’s subsidiary focused on digital asset infrastructure and enterprise settlement systems. The initiative comes as real world asset tokenization expands rapidly, with the market for tokenized instruments excluding stablecoins surpassing twenty four billion dollars earlier this year. Bridge Gold aims to capture part of that growth by offering a fully audited gold backed token designed for cross border use cases and multi currency settlement. Each token will correspond to independently verified gold bars held in high security vaults, with regular oversight by a Big Four level auditing firm. The structure is intended to appeal to institutions requiring verifiable reserves and transparent custody mechanisms while offering a pathway into digitally native settlement architectures.
The mandate includes development of full tokenization workflows, regulatory alignment and settlement infrastructure capable of supporting transactions denominated in dollars, euros and Singapore dollars. Smart Bridge will oversee smart contract design, custody integration, audit verification processes and institutional onboarding, positioning Bridge Gold as a potential entry point for financial institutions exploring real asset tokenization at scale. The company said the project reflects growing international demand for asset backed digital instruments that can support treasury operations, cross border payments and diversified collateral frameworks. Long term revenue opportunities for VCI Global include consultancy fees, infrastructure deployment charges and ongoing maintenance associated with custody, audit and multi currency settlement services. Executives described Bridge Gold as a strategic bet on the next phase of tokenization, one that could expand significantly as institutional adoption accelerates and real world asset markets move toward multi trillion dollar projections.
Smart Bridge and VCI Global leadership said they intend to position Bridge Gold as a highly trusted digital gold instrument designed for predictable settlement environments and transparent governance models. Market analysts note that the rise of RWA linked assets signals a shift toward tokenization pathways supported by strong audit controls and regulated storage frameworks rather than speculative trading environments. Demand for gold backed tokens has increased as institutions seek assets that combine traditional store of value properties with the efficiency of blockchain based settlement. With the project scheduled to begin in the coming year, the sector will monitor how Bridge Gold integrates digital custody architecture with compliance oriented operational models. The mandate supports VCI Global’s broader strategy of building technology platforms that unify data infrastructure, digital treasury systems and capital market solutions for institutions seeking structured entry into the expanding digital asset economy.
