Catenaa, Thursday, March 05, 2026- Techemynt Limited said it will launch tokenized gold and silver products backed by physical bullion stored in New Zealand, expanding the country’s presence in digital real-world assets.
The Auckland-based financial service provider is introducing GoldNZ and SilverNZ, each representing one troy ounce of investment-grade bullion held in fully allocated form at Commonwealth Vault facilities.
Under the structure, token holders retain beneficial ownership through a bare trust arrangement. The assets are segregated and stored in secure vaults in New Zealand. The tokens will be transferable on blockchain networks and redeemable for physical bullion under company terms.
Techemynt said verified buyers must complete customer due diligence under New Zealand’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009.
Once issued, the tokens can be held in digital wallets or traded on secondary markets.
The initial mint is expected within weeks to seed supply into web3 markets.
Techemynt is also the issuer of NZDS, a New Zealand dollar-backed stablecoin. The company said tokenized precious metals combine physical stores of value with blockchain-based transfer and settlement.
Global market capitalization for tokenized gold and silver exceeds $5.5 billion, according to industry estimates, with broader tokenized real-world assets projected to expand sharply by 2030.
The launch positions New Zealand within a growing market for blockchain-based representations of traditional assets.
