Matrixdock launches XAUm tokenized gold on Solana, bringing fully backed physical gold onchain with faster settlement, liquidity, and DeFi access.
Matrixdock, the real world asset division of Matrixport Group, has launched its gold token XAUm on Solana. The move is a sign of increasing institutional interest in tokenized commodities. Moreover, with the deployment, physically backed gold comes high speed blockchain network. As such, there are new financial use cases to be expected.
Matrixdock Expands Institutional Gold Tokenization on Solana
Matrixdock said that XAUm is currently live as a native asset on Solana. Each XAUm is the value of 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold. The gold comes from LBMA accredited refineries. Additionally, audited vaults provide a place for storage of the physical reserves.

Currently, XAUm is the biggest tokenized gold program in Asia. The product promotes physical redemption across the major regional wealth centers. Reserves are verified on a regular basis by independent third parties. Therefore, transparency is a major aspect of the program.
By bringing XAUm to Solana, Matrixdock hopes to increase accessibility and liquidity. Solana has high throughput and low transaction costs. As a result, transfers in gold can take place almost instantly. This allows gold to serve its function beyond that of passive long term holding.
Furthermore, Solana’s architecture allows for high frequency and complex onchain interactions to be supported. Tokenized gold can work its way into the decentralized finance applications. As a result, XAUm may have the function of a reserve grade digital asset. This is in line with the general development of the onchain capital market.
Falcon Finance recently featured XAUm on their tokenized gold industry report. The report acknowledged Matrixdock as one of the leaders in the sector. Therefore, industry recognition is in favor of the product’s institutional positioning. Market participants are still monitoring the adoption trends.
Security is also at the heart of the structure of XAUm. Solana smart contracts underlying XAUm have been audited. The reviews were done by Accretion and Sec3. For that reason, Matrixdock strengthened its institutional grade risk management approach.
XAUm Enters Solana DeFi Ecosystem With Broader Use Cases
XAUm will work directly in the decentralized finance environment of Solana. Initial liquidity is provided on Raydium for the trading process. In addition, expansion in the future to Solana based lending markets is planned. Pyth will be the main price oracle.
This structure enables XAUm holders to use gold as onchain gold collateral. Users have access to liquidity without having to sell off physical exposure. At the same time, full physical backing is preserved at all times. Asset integrity is therefore maintained during DeFi activity.
Matrixdock has some previous experience of deploying tokenized gold on Solana. In late 2025, it supported the TER sovereign gold token. TER was issued by the Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City. The token is still alive and well on Solana today.
That previous deployment proved Matrixdock’s technology to be a national success. It also proved to be operation reliable for large scale projects. Consequently, Matrixdock is now also supporting institutional initiatives, as well as sovereign initiatives. This dual role helps to strengthen its infrastructure reputation.
Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock said about the expansion: She said gold will be migrating into programmable financial infrastructure. High performance blockchains allow for faster and efficient assets usage. Physical reserves, however, are still fully supported.
Lu Yin of the Solana Foundation also welcomed the launch. He pointed out Solana has the ability to support real world assets at scale. Instant settlement and DeFi integration catch up to institutional standards. The growing liquidity venues are another supportive factor for adoption.
Overall, the launch of the XAUm represents a more general movement in digital finance. Tokenized commodities are getting institutional acceptance. As a result, it is possible that gold will become a core onchain reserve asset. Market observers anticipate that this segment will continue to grow.
