[DBS Bank Singapore to Offer Tokenized Gold Trading to Retail Customers] According to CoinDesk, DBS Bank Singapore plans to offer tokenized gold trading to retail customers in the second half of 2026. The product, named DBS Physical Gold Token, will be backed by 1 gram of physical gold held in a dedicated vault in Singapore by DBS Bank. DBS stated that the token will be independently issued and managed by the bank, with consideration for listing it on the DBS Digital Exchange, which is targeted at accredited investors. James Tan, Head of Investment Products at DBS Bank, noted that previously, retail customers could only purchase gold funds, while physical gold was primarily available to institutions and accredited investors. This tokenization initiative will broaden access.
