As of 2025, Pakistan’s economy is facing challenges, including high inflation and a devaluing currency. In this situation, gold is a popular choice for protecting against inflation and currency loss.
However, buying physical gold can be expensive due to high upfront costs and premiums, while storing it also presents challenges, as it must be protected from theft and damage.
Gold tokenization addresses several key challenges in Pakistan’s gold market:
- Financial Inclusion: Allows individuals to invest in gold through micro-units, making gold ownership attainable for people across all income levels.
- Wealth Protection: Offers a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, safeguarding the financial stability of investors.
- Transparency: Blockchain technology ensures an auditable transaction trail, reducing risks of fraud and promoting tax compliance.
- Economic Growth: Enhances market efficiency, increases liquidity, and supports financial inclusion
The solution is now being deployed under the Regulatory Sandbox framework, where it will undergo live testing in Pakistan to validate its processes, scalability, and user experience before being scaled across the country.
The platform is designed to benefit individuals across all income levels, especially those with limited resources, by offering accessible and flexible investment opportunities in gold, with investments starting from as little as 100 PKR.
The broader economy also stands to gain through enhanced market efficiency, improved liquidity, and stronger compliance with regulatory standards.
Fasset’s gold tokenization solution enables users to:
- Register accounts with secure KYC verification.
- Deposit funds and purchase gold tokens backed 1:1 by physical gold.
- Monitor and manage investments through real-time market tracking.
- Convert digital gold tokens to physical gold once a threshold is reached, with custody and delivery managed by trusted local partners.
