Frequently asked questions
About UGold
What is UGold?
UGOLD is a utility token with a “stable” price directly related to the price of UGOLD’s proprietary 9999 gold coin. Each token represents the right to have that physical coin produced and fulfilled on demand through the company’s Gold-as-a-Service (GaaS) model.
How is UGOLD priced?
UGOLD is priced higher than the international spot gold price, because it reflects the actual retail price of the UGOLD physical coin — including minting, certification, and fulfillment by licensed refineries. This makes UGOLD a practical digital equivalent of the finished gold product, not raw bullion.
How is UGold different from gold ETFs or gold tokens?
Unlike ETFs or vault-based gold tokens that depend on stored bullion and third-party audits, UGOLD operates through a refinery-backed contractual model. There is no stored gold reserve — instead, each token is contractually guaranteed by licensed refineries to be fulfilled on demand as a physical coin or bar.
Is UGold a cryptocurrency?
UGOLD runs on blockchain technology for secure, borderless transactions, but it is not a speculative cryptocurrency. It’s a utility token linked to a tangible product — the UGOLD coin — giving holders a stable, asset-anchored digital instrument.
Trust, Security & Redemption
Is each UGold token really backed by gold?
Yes — each token is contractually guaranteed by licensed and certified refineries that stand behind the fulfillment of gold on demand. The system eliminates the need for vault storage or custodial audits.
Can I redeem my UGold for physical gold?
Yes. UGOLD tokens can be redeemed for UGOLD-branded coins or bars produced on demand by licensed refineries. There are no storage or custody costs — minting occurs only when redemption is requested. (Shipping and handling fees will apply.)
Where is the gold stored?
UGOLD does not rely on vaults or stored reserves. Under the GaaS model, gold is manufactured and delivered on demand through certified refineries, ensuring efficiency and eliminating storage risk.
Usage & Utility
Can I use UGOLD for payments?
Yes — UGOLD can be transferred, traded, or linked to UGOLD Cards for everyday payments. This enables holders to use real gold value for shopping, travel, or investment with the convenience of digital payments.
Can I trade UGold on exchanges?
Yes. UGOLD is listed on several global exchanges, providing full liquidity and accessibility to a worldwide user base.
Is there a minimum holding amount to own UGOLD?
No minimum applies for holding. However, redemption for a physical coin or bar requires at least one full token (one ounce).
Technical & Compliance
Which blockchain is UGOLD issued on?
UGOLD is issued exclusively on the Ethereum blockchain, ensuring transparency, security, and compatibility with leading wallets and global exchanges.
Is UGOLD regulated or compliant?
UGOLD is issued by Genius Digital Partners Corp (Nevada, USA) under applicable securities and digital asset frameworks, operating within a transparent and compliant corporate structure.
Is UGold Shariah-compliant?
UGOLD’s 1:1 fulfillment model and tangible-asset linkage align with Shariah principles of asset-backed value.
