DBS Bank in Singapore plans to offer tokenized gold trading to retail customers in the second half of 2026. The new product, DBS Physical Gold Tokens, will let people buy tokenized gold through the bank’s digital platforms. Each token will be backed by one gram of real gold kept in DBS vaults in Singapore.
This move aims to make owning physical gold easier for regular investors. In the past, only institutional and accredited investors could easily invest directly in physical gold.
DBS will handle everything in-house, from tokenizing and issuing the gold tokens to distributing and storing them. The bank says its system will offer top-level security and give retail investors a chance to own a trusted asset.
This launch comes as more people are interested in tokenized real-world assets, a fast-growing part of blockchain. Wealthy DBS clients have more than doubled their gold holdings in the last three years, showing rising demand for precious metals during uncertain times.
DBS has already tried tokenization with products like tokenized structured notes and digital money market funds. Adding tokenized gold is another step in the bank’s digital asset strategy and shows how traditional banks are using blockchain to make investment products more accessible.
This move could lead more banks to offer tokenized commodities as they try to connect traditional finance with digital assets.
