Bhutan Launches Gold-Backed TER Token on Solana

Distribution runs through DK Bank under Gelephu Mindfulness City’s special-administration model to attract regulated investment.

Overview

  • The sovereign-backed TER token is issued via Gelephu Mindfulness City and recorded on the Solana blockchain for high-speed, globally transferable ownership.
  • DK Bank, described as Bhutan’s first licensed digital bank, serves as exclusive custodian and initial distributor, with investors able to buy TER directly through the bank.
  • Each token is backed by physical gold held in custody, aiming to combine the security of reserves with on-chain transparency for holders.
  • Matrixdock supplies the tokenization infrastructure under a Financial Services Licence from the Gelephu Mindfulness City Authority.
  • The launch comes days after Kyrgyzstan’s USDKG debut, highlighting a growing move by smaller nations toward asset-backed digital currencies.
