anchored·amRZ6t…85z8Summary
DGLD (Digital Gold Token) is a physically-backed gold token originally launched in October 2019 by a consortium of CoinShares, Blockchain.com, and MKS PAMP SA on CommerceBlock's Ocean Bitcoin sidechain. The project went dormant by 2020 due to liquidity failure and market under-adoption, and the underlying infrastructure provider CommerceBlock later shut down entirely. MKS PAMP relaunched DGLD in late 2025 under full ownership of Gold Token SA, migrating to Ethereum and Base — but significant jurisdictional restrictions, minimal liquidity, contractual liability exclusions, and the project's history of abandonment remain concerns.
