Gold Plus Coin

What Gold Plus Coin does

Gold Plus Coin (GPC) is a privately held U.S. company developing a blockchain-based tokenization platform for proven in-ground gold reserves. Founded and led by David Roy Newby, the company restricts token purchases to verified accredited investors under SEC Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, with a $2M raise underway to fund exchange listings and complete its blockchain. The platform is designed to tokenize NI 43-101 compliant proven gold reserves only — not vaulted or inferred resources — with assay reports, drilling data, and third-party geology reviews embedded on-chain and available to regulators worldwide.

The underlying technology is a scalable, quantum-hacking-resistant blockchain with low energy consumption, fixed transaction fees, and GDPR/CCPA compliance capability. The company has contracts for $7.5B in proven reserves from Mine #1 and $10B+ from Mine #2, and plans to list tokens on 2-3 crypto exchanges and enable retail debit-card spending via MasterCard/Visa-equivalent rails once funding and blockchain completion are achieved. Seventy percent of tokenized reserves are earmarked for retail buyers. Revenue mechanics are currently anchored in token sales and planned mine-owner tokenization services, with a multi-jurisdiction legal framework modeled after Binance supporting cross-border listing. The stated long-term ambition is a $300B-$500B+ GPC market capitalization within 3-5 years.

Core offering

Gold Plus Coin (GPC) issues a blockchain-based digital gold token that is 100% backed by proven in-ground gold reserves classified under the NI 43-101 international standard for mineral disclosure. The token enables individuals to buy, hold, and (planned) spend digital gold, while providing gold mine owners and governments with tokenization services to make in-ground reserves bankable and liquid. The company also offers white paper subscription and an upcoming debit card spending product.

Direct peers

• Aurus: Aurus offers AGLD and AWG, tokenized gold and silver products on blockchain, focused on democratizing access to precious metals via digital tokens. Directly comparable as a tokenized precious-metals platform with similar target use cases.
• Glint Pay: Glint enables consumers to buy, hold, and spend physical gold via a Mastercard-linked app. Directly comparable to Gold Plus Coin's planned debit-card spending on tokenized gold.
• Goldmoney: Goldmoney (formerly BitGold) is a digital gold platform allowing users to buy, sell, and spend gold. Comparable as a regulated, vault-based gold digitization platform serving retail and business users.
• Kinesis Money: Kinesis operates a gold- and silver-backed digital currency system (KAU and KAG) with debit card spending functionality and a global exchange. Highly comparable to Gold Plus Coin's planned spend-via-card and tokenized reserves model.

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

• Bitfinex: Bitfinex is a major cryptocurrency exchange that lists gold-backed tokens including XAUT and supports tokenized asset trading. Comparable as a venue where GPC tokens could ultimately trade and as a sibling platform with overlapping tokenized gold offerings.
• Tether: Tether issues XAUT, a gold-backed token, alongside its dominant USDT stablecoin. It is the largest incumbent in gold-tokenized money and offers comparable functionality, though at much broader scale and with different regulatory profile.
