Tokenized Gold Upgrade — STRATO Community
Summary
STRATO announces a push to upgrade gold with tokenization, highlighting that only 0.018% of $30T in above-ground gold is tokenized. The post explains benefits like instant transfers, borrowing against gold, and greater convenience for a centuries-old store of value. This matters to the STRATO community as it opens new DeFi utility and growth opportunities.

It's the oldest, most trusted store of value on earth, held by half the world and increasingly by central banks, yet most of it sits in a vault earning nothing. It's hard to move and hard to use.
Time for an upgrade.
Tokenized gold is more convenient. You can borrow against it. You can transfer it in seconds.
There's $30T in above-ground gold, but only 0.018% is tokenized. There's a lot of room to grow:
