DBS is about putting gold onto the blockchain, and by 2026, retail investors will also be able to use vaults.

CryptoWorld News reports that DBS Bank has announced plans to launch physical gold tokens for retail customers in the second half of 2026, called the DBS Physical Gold Token, which will be available through its Digibank platform. Each token will represent 1 gram of physical gold stored in the dedicated DBS vault in Singapore. The bank said it will oversee the issuance, distribution, management, and custody of the tokens through its own infrastructure. In recent years, DBS’s affluent customers have shown growing interest in physical gold, and over the past three years, the amount of physical gold held in wealth investment portfolios has doubled. This launch will provide retail customers with a safer and more convenient way to invest in gold.
