Wow, the big players are stepping in to clean up the game! The World Gold Council officially released a Digital Gold Whitepaper today, aiming to establish a 'Gold-as-a-Service' standard. They want to standardize the entire process for tokenized gold, including asset custody, compliance audits, on-chain issuance, and physical redemption. Basically, they’re pushing for all other digital gold issuers to follow this framework. The crypto world initially wanted to use RWA (Real World Assets) to disrupt the old-school traditional finance folks. After all the hard work, just when the market started to grow, it turns out they’ve paved the way for the old guard instead . Stock tokenization ended up being taken over by NYSE and Nasdaq, and now gold tokenization is being taken over by the World Gold Council.
