Banks can tokenize gold held as security into XAUs. Tokenization advantages are:
XAUs are fungible tokens that are divisible to 8 decimal places and redeemable for physical gold. This makes XAUs useful for payments and tradable against other gold products.
XAUs permit the benefit of undertaking micro payment settlements defined to 8 decimal places. An ideal solution for individuals or institutions seeking to invest in gold, simplifying everyday purchases and cross-border payments.
The Islamic population of 1.8 billion are unserved by most gold financial instruments and crypto tokens because Shariah Law does not permit the use of a promise of payment as a medium of exchange. XAUs complies with Shariah Law as XAUs are weight of gold not a promise of payment, offering tremendous value to the Islamic population. XAUs is a viable opportunity for the Islamic to benefit from gold ownership and payments. Ten XAUs are equivalent to a physical dinar gold coin that is commonly used within the Islamic community.
