mb.io Tokenizes Ghana Gold With Kings Orbis and Mavryk

mb.io, the crypto arm of MultiBank Group, confirmed on May 11, 2026 a four-party institutional partnership to tokenize physically-backed gold sourced from Ghana, with physical custody held in Dubai under LBMA-approved vaulting standards. The programme brings together Kings Orbis as programme coordinator, EON3 Group Ghana Ltd as the dedicated institutional gold supply partner, and Mavryk as the Layer-1 blockchain and RWA infrastructure provider.

The architecture divides institutional responsibilities across all four entities: mb.io RWA operates as the regulated tokenization marketplace, while EON3 Group, headquartered in Accra, supplies the underlying physical metal. Each token issued under the programme represents direct institutional ownership of physical gold held in Dubai under LBMA-approved institutional custody — a structure that ties token value directly to a vaulted physical asset rather than a derivative or synthetic exposure.

Senior representatives of all four partners attended the World Peace Summit in Kumasi, Ghana on April 24, 2026, where discussions were held under the Pillars of Peace movement. The visit included a private audience with His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene King of the Ashanti Kingdom, who expressed personal support for the partnership. Ghana's historical identity as a gold-producing region stretches back over 700 years, and the territory was known globally as the "Gold Coast" for its gold reserves.

The programme extends beyond standard commodity-grade gold. The partnership also plans to tokenize a curated collection of Gold Art — physical artworks crafted from and inspired by Ashanti gold — in recognition of the cultural legacy of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. According to The Daily Hodl's coverage of the announcement, this dual-track structure — commodity gold alongside culturally significant art objects — distinguishes the programme from conventional gold-backed token offerings.

The announcement does not disclose the total volume of gold to be tokenized, the number of tokens to be issued, or the pricing mechanism for individual tokens. It does not name the specific vault operator in Dubai beyond the reference to LBMA-approved custody, nor does it identify the regulatory licence under which mb.io operates the tokenization marketplace. The announcement also does not specify the secondary-market trading venues where tokens will be listed, the minimum investment threshold for institutional participants, or the timeline for the programme's first token issuance.

What the announcement establishes today is a confirmed four-party institutional framework: a regulated marketplace operator, a named physical supply chain from West Africa, LBMA-standard custody in Dubai, and a Layer-1 blockchain infrastructure provider. It does not establish a launched token product, a disclosed volume of gold under management, or an independently verified regulatory filing confirming mb.io's specific authorisation to distribute gold-backed tokens to institutional investors across named jurisdictions.
