I-ON Digital said it has secured more than $200 million in in-situ gold reserve commitments to tokenize through its regulated Treasury and Digital Asset Platform. The company plans to deploy the gold-backed ION.au instrument across its liquidity network, including RAAC.io and GoldfishGold, as it scales regulated, yield-oriented products.
In its press release, the company announce deployment, saying the assets will feed tokenization, stablecoin, and liquidity-pool programs designed for institutional users. I-ON described the tranche as one of 2025’s largest U.S.-regulated on-ramps for in-situ gold commitments, with distribution through its treasury-grade rails.
Independent coverage also report details, noting that the reserves will be digitized via I-ON’s platform before being deployed to partners and programs. The piece highlights how the company positions gold-backed instruments as compliant collateral for on-chain finance, including potential use in structured yield products.
The move follows I-ON’s October tie-up with RAAC, where the parties report partnership to make $200 million of tokenized gold available for DeFi strategies, including a stablecoin backed in part by ION.au. That background shows how today’s commitments can flow into live distribution routes rather than remain pilot-stage.
“This is a watershed moment not only for I-ON, but for the broader RWA market,” said Carlos X. Montoya, Chairman & CEO of I-ON Digital. “The addition of $200 million in tokenized gold validates the trust being placed in our model and compliance infrastructure, and it strengthens our partner ecosystem for regulated, gold-backed finance.”
If execution matches the plan, I-ON’s gold commitments could support a wider range of tokenized instruments—collateral, stable-value products, and treasury-style vehicles—while giving investors clearer audit trails and settlement on public chains. Observers say the focus on in-situ reserves, rather than mined bullion alone, may broaden supply and speed capital formation for commodity-linked RWAs.
