WinstantGold, powered by fintech Winstant Ltd, Inaugurates a New Global Standard with over $5 billion in Real-World Asset Tokenization on the XDC Blockchain

Kinshasa, August 2025 – The National Axis Program of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is launching a pioneering real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiative on the XDC Network through its WinstantGold project, beginning with over $5 billion in tokenized sovereign reserves. This groundbreaking effort introduces a powerful dual-token pair: the SGRT (Sovereign Gold Reserve Token), a gold-backed monetary utility recognized as a regulated digital payment instrument by the Central Bank of Congo, and the FCRT (Forest Carbon Reserve Token), a forest carbon-backed climate impact token. Together, these instruments set a new global benchmark for blockchain innovation, combining a secure haven in gold with a vital climate action to protect the Congo Basin’s vital tropical forests.

Unlike speculative crypto projects, SGRT is a sovereign-authorized monetary instrument backed 4:1 by 200,000 kilograms of in-ground gold, owned by the Congolese state. These reserves are not theoretical; they originate from existing artisanal mining zones, which will be formalized and enhanced to deliver fair-mined, ethical gold in alignment with environmental and human rights standards.

Bridging Traditional and Decentralized Finance with Basel III Alignment

Deployed on the XDC Network, SGRT enables a seamless bridge between traditional banking and decentralized finance. Its architecture allows banks to offer SGRT-denominated deposits, taking advantage of gold’s Tier 1 capital status under Basel III regulations. This transforms SGRT into both a reserve-grade institutional asset and a tool for retail inclusion, offering a non-speculative and debt-free store of value.

Embedded Trust, Decentralized Whitelisting, and Privacy-by-Design

Each SGRT and FCRT token is issued through smart contracts embedding TrustSignal, a decentralized identity and fraud-prevention protocol that ensures:

• Decentralized whitelisting with sovereign choice of identity custodian (e.g., Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, USA)
• Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) authentication, which preserves user privacy while maintaining trust and accountability.

This model offers an alternative to centralized identity storage, aligning with the vision of privacy-preserving yet accountable digital finance.

Monetary Utility, Liquidity, and Immediate Access

The crypto-asset SGRT, officially recognized in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a regulated monetary instrument by the Central Bank of Congo, is a legally authorized digital payment tool.

While physical gold (SGCT), tokenized bullion, or LBMA-certified redemption options will be available starting in Year 6, post-ICO liquidity and exchangeability will begin as early as November 2025.

The FCRT, meanwhile, is a utility token that generates one carbon credit per year based on verified reforestation activities under the MACC (Marché Carbone Communautaire) framework. This enables long-term, measurable environmental impact aligned with global climate goals.

A Model for Inclusive, Sovereign DeFi and #BlockchainForGood

The National AXIS Program, which is launched by the Social Fund of the DRC (FSRDC) under Presidential Ordinance No. 23/049, redefines the role of sovereign states in decentralized finance. Through the tokenization of national gold and forest reserves, the DRC opens access to a compliant, ethical, and traceable financial system, empowering citizens and investors alike. #BlockchainForGood isn’t a tagline. With AXIS, it’s a sovereign strategy in motion.
