July 15, 2025 – London / Brussels / Dubai — As inflation weakens global currencies and public trust in traditional financial systems continues to erode, digital gold is quickly emerging as one of the most resilient and trusted asset classes of the Web3 era. On July 4, 2025, Ubuntu Tribe (aka UTribe), a fully regulated Web3 fintech platform operating under a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in Europe, officially launched GIFT Gold — a digitally native, audited, insured, and 100% gold-backed token designed to offer secure, verifiable, and global access to gold, making fractional gold ownership accessible, transparent, and reliable for everyone.
“At a time of global geopolitical instability, looming global economic crises and currency depreciation, it is only fair to make gold accessible and affordable to all,” said Mamadou Kwidjim Touré, Founder of Ubuntu Tribe. “UTribe released GIFT Gold — a digital certificate of gold ownership that can be fractionalized and transferred peer-to-peer with a single click. Every rich person or savvy investor buys gold to protect their wealth. Why shouldn’t you? Now we have made it possible with GIFT Gold. It’s easier, faster, and safer to buy, save, and transfer gold. It is in your name. It is insured, audited, and regulated.”
Gold has historically served as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty
