XAUm teams up with BitGo and Brink to upgrade institutional custody system, tokenized gold enters a new milestone

【Crypto World】Matrixport’s RWA platform Matrixdock recently announced a significant partnership—collaborating with digital asset infrastructure provider BitGo, with the participation of global precious metals services giant Brink’s, to bring true institutional-grade custody capabilities to the gold token XAUm.

This news is quite noteworthy. According to RWA.xyz, XAUm is already the third-largest tokenized gold product globally, making it a heavyweight player in terms of asset management scale.

The roles of the three parties are clearly defined: BitGo handles the core infrastructure for digital asset custody and compliance support, Matrixdock builds the asset tokenization system and implements on-chain transparency mechanisms, while Brink’s safeguards the physical gold vault. In simple terms, the entire chain—from physical storage to on-chain verification—is covered.

In terms of custody, institutional clients can hold XAUm through BitGo Trust Company Inc., a regulated qualified custodian. In practice, access permissions and fund transfers are managed via multi-signature and policy controls to ensure compliance with institutional security standards. This provides a more solid foundation for institutional investors.
