Wyoming Reserve: the first on-chain physical gold is born in the United States

Reserve

Wyoming Reserve and Global Gold have announced a partnership that promises to redefine the way physical gold is owned, traded, and utilized in the digital age

The agreement, announced on September 2, 2025, establishes the Casper, Wyoming facility as the main U.S. depository for the custody of Global Gold’s gold. This is a decisive step towards the creation of digital assets fully backed by physical gold, insured, and subjected to rigorous independent audits.

A new standard for gold custody

The heart of the collaboration is represented by the structure of the Wyoming Reserve, a 70,000 square foot facility equipped with Class 3 vaults, advanced security systems, and customized logistics to handle large volumes of deposits and withdrawals.

Here, the gold will be legally segregated and specifically allocated to each token holder, avoiding the typical risks of unallocated “paper” gold.

Transparency is ensured by independent quarterly audits conducted by Alfred H. Knight and a comprehensive annual review entrusted to FORVIS. Additionally, every gram of gold held will be insured, with certificates available for account holders.

Global Gold Bars: physical gold, digital liquidity

At the center of innovation is the launch of Global Gold Bars, digital tokens specific to jurisdiction and backed by physical gold held in Wyoming Reserve vaults.

Each token represents a 1:1 share of actual physical gold, fully insured and verified. These assets can be owned, traded, and redeemed at any time, offering investors the security of physical gold and the speed of on-chain transactions.

A complete ecosystem for digital gold

The vision of Global Gold goes beyond simple tokenization. The company is building a true digital ecosystem for gold, which includes:

Global Gold Exchange: a decentralized platform for 24/7 trading of gold-backed assets, offering continuous liquidity and transparent pricing.

Global Gold Lending: a decentralized lending protocol that allows gold token holders to obtain liquidity without having to sell their metal.

Global Gold Vaults: custody systems that keep control in the hands of users, with guardian protections and interoperability with decentralized finance (DeFi).

Security, transparency, and innovation

The partnership between Wyoming Reserve and Global Gold sets new standards of security and transparency. Each token issued is 100% backed by physical gold in custody, with segregated ownership and recurring audits to ensure total correspondence between digital assets and real reserves.

Comprehensive insurance and documentation accessible to users further strengthen trust in the system.

Miguel Perez-Santalla, president of Wyoming Reserve, emphasizes: “Stablecoins need real collateral that inspires trust in every circumstance. This partnership brings the world’s oldest safe-haven asset onto modern infrastructures, offering users real gold, real ownership, and the speed of on-chain settlement.”

Opportunities for Institutions and Retail Investors

The agreement opens new prospects for both institutional and retail investors. Institutions can now tokenize the physical gold held in custody, accessing a global liquidity network and generating revenue without losing legal ownership of the asset. DeFi protocols thus obtain a solid, non-fiat collateral with real value.

For individual investors, the possibility of owning on-chain physical gold, fully redeemable and immediately tradable, represents a breakthrough. Additionally, the tokens can generate yield through approved programs, all while maintaining maximum transparency on custody.

Audit and insurance: the strength of independent verification

From the very first day, reserve management follows extremely conservative criteria: the token supply is tied to the actual gold in custody, with segregated ownership to avoid pooling risks and recurring independent audits to ensure maximum reliability. Comprehensive insurance, with certificates available for each holder, adds an additional layer of protection.

Cole Chapman, CEO of Global Gold, states: “Gold has been reliable for over 5,000 years, but until now it was tied to a physical position.

Now, thanks to blockchain, it becomes usable anywhere. Together with Wyoming Reserve, we are building a fully verifiable gold supply chain, which anyone can own, trade, lend, and redeem with the security that only allocated metal can offer.”

International Expansion and Future Prospects

The launch of Global Gold Bars will initially take place in the United States, but expansions are already planned in other key jurisdictions such as Dubai, Singapore, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Global Gold thus intends to create a global network of custody partners, ensuring the same transparency and security in every market.

Global Gold: modern infrastructure for the gold economy

Global Gold presents itself as the new monetary infrastructure for the global gold economy. The company transforms physical metal into programmable, liquid digital assets capable of generating yield, offering a complete ecosystem that includes tokens, exchange, and lending. Each reserve is 100% guaranteed, legally allocated, and subject to independent audits.

Conclusion: Physical Gold Enters the Digital Era

The partnership between Wyoming Reserve and Global Gold marks a groundbreaking shift: physical gold finally becomes accessible, liquid, and transparent thanks to blockchain technology. With rigorous audits, comprehensive insurance, and a state-of-the-art custody structure, the world’s oldest safe-haven asset is set to play a leading role in global digital markets.
