OCBC, Lion Global Investors and DigiFT Launch Southeast Asia’s First Tokenized Gold Fund

GOLDX gives on-chain exposure to LionGlobal’s Singapore physical gold fund on Ethereum and Solana, as tokenized real-world assets on public blockchains surpass $29 billion after rising more than 10% in 30 days.

Fact Check
The claim is well supported on its core points by the official DigiFT source, "OCBC, Lion Global, DigiFT Launch SEA's First Tokenized Physical Gold Fund," which directly states that OCBC, Lion Global Investors, and DigiFT launched GOLDX and that it gives on-chain access to the LionGlobal physical gold fund on Ethereum and Solana. This is corroborated by the Odaily article and the PANews article, both of which independently repeat the same launch details and blockchain networks. The X post is only secondary corroboration. I found sufficient support for the launch, participants, product name, and Ethereum/Solana deployment. However, the specific market-size statistic in the user claim about tokenized RWAs surpassing $29 billion after rising more than 10% in 30 days was not directly validated by the sources gathered in this run, so confidence is medium rather than high.

The product is aimed at institutional investors, hedge funds and asset managers, while previously disclosed details state that OCBC supports the token issuance architecture design and Lion Global Investors oversees the underlying fund’s investment framework and governance structure.
