Liquid Noble 'reserves are topped up and ready for launch' on August 26

Liquid Noble, a new company offering blockchain-tokenized precious metal assets with fiat trades, is set to launch on August 26. The service will provide a fast and simple way for anyone to invest in bullion and possibly even use those tokenized assets for everyday purchases.

Speaking to CoinGeek, Liquid Noble Chief Marketing Officer Annette Fortner noted an interest in precious metals and their stability relative to fiat currencies in recent years. This has seeped into mainstream media coverage amid reports the BRICS group is seeking to create a gold-backed settlement currency, shifting geopolitics and increasing uncertainty surrounding fiat currencies’ ability to retain trust and value.

People concerned by these trends, who have long been a disproportionately large percentage of blockchain and digital asset proponents, would be looking for ways to make trading in and out of precious metals simpler and faster.

“With that knowledge in mind, it’s essential for us to provide our users a way that they can not only hedge the loss of purchasing power inherent with fiat currency, but also a way for them to flexibly hold and transact in precious metals if they so choose.”

“As inflation erodes our purchasing power globally, and with gold prices soaring to record highs, the world is increasingly considering a return to a gold standard. Gold‘s enduring ability to preserve value through economic fluctuations is well-documented. By embracing gold, a currency with a rich history and promising future, Liquid Noble offers a modern solution, empowering investors with an affordable and seamless way to protect their wealth without losing any of the convenience or liquidity of normal money.”

How Liquid Noble works: The BSV blockchain, Tokenized protocol and physical reserves

Liquid Noble tokenizes its fiat and bullion reserves using the Tokenized Protocol on the BSV blockchain. Customers can manage accounts using the dashboard on a desktop browser or via a progressive web app (PWA) on mobile devices.

At launch, Liquid Noble will be available for Australian residents and non-Australians with AUD accounts (though not those based in the United States). Bullion offered for tokenization and (optional) physical delivery includes gold, silver and platinum in a “huge range of coins and bars” and at close to spot prices. It does not charge storage fees, and users who’ve been on Liquid Noble’s waiting list will get transaction fees waived for the first three months.

Fortner said the firm is currently working with two bullion providers in Australia: one based in Melbourne and another with branches in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Gold Coast. It’s also working on expanding its list of bullion and storage providers “to offer our users the most comprehensive selection of previous metals on the market.”

Since building trust and a reputation for reliability is a major issue for any new company offering these kinds of services, Liquid Noble is putting mechanisms in place to ensure everything is done properly.

“The trust of our customers is our highest priority, which is why we plan to engage independent auditing firms to verify our reserves every six months,” Fortner said. “Where possible, any allocated gold belonging to Liquid Noble will be photographed during the independent audits and we can release the associated information to customers of our platform upon request.”

Along with trades in and out of specific metals, there are also pool-allocated generalized products on offer.

“Third-party suppliers managing these holdings have a long-standing and strong reputation in the bullion industry for many years, and these reserves are insured by Lloyd’s of London,” she added.

Solving the compliance and efficiency problems

The concept of tokenizing bullion on a blockchain network for trading or as a bullion-backed spending currency isn’t new; such services have existed for a while. In fact, active projects are attempting to create gold-backed digital tokens even before Bitcoin arrived.

In the latter case (e.g., E-Gold and Liberty Reserve), the issues were regulatory compliance, trust and security. With blockchain, the main issues are cost, speed and openness. Some services run on proprietary blockchains with opaque governance or which aren’t particularly decentralized. On public networks like Ethereum, there are well-known issues with congestion and high “gas” fees, making them impractical for small transactions.

귀금속에 간단하고 대규모 투자를 하려는 사람들은 수수료나 속도 문제를 신경 쓰지 않을 수도 있지만 필요하지 않은데 왜 투자합니까? 또한 BSV의 거의 즉각적인 거래와 적은 사용 수수료 덕분에 소규모 투자자와 빠른 거래자에게 Liquid Noble과 같은 서비스가 제공됩니다.

Liquid Noble은 고객 자산에 대한 토큰을 발행함으로써 일상적인 구매에 돈으로 사용할 수 있는 금괴 담보 "통화"의 가능성도 열어줍니다. 이는 당연히 토큰을 결제로 받아들이는 고객과 기업에 달려 있지만, 블록체인 시대에는 그 아이디어가 예전만큼 터무니없지는 않습니다.
