Lumia and C-Gold Technologies Announce Landmark Partnership to Bring $43 Million in Real Gold On-Chain

GEORGE TOWN, CAYMAN ISLANDS & LOS ANGELES, CA — November 21, 2025Lumia, a premier dedicated RWA chain, and C-Gold Technologies LLC (“C-Gold”), a leading institutional supplier of vaulted, insured physical gold in the United States, today announced a groundbreaking commercial partnership that will bring 10,000 ounces of real gold — valued at approximately USD $43 million — directly onto the blockchain for global users, traders, and institutions.

This partnership marks one of the largest real-gold tokenisation initiatives launched to date, integrating C-Gold’s institutional-grade vaulting infrastructure with Lumia’s cross-chain distribution and liquidity framework.

A Historic Integration: 1,000,000 Units of Gold Going On-Chain

Under the partnership, Lumia will pre-mint 1,000,000 units of C-Gold, each unit representing 1/100 ounce of deliverable, vaulted gold.

Once purchased, these units become fully backed by physical gold stored at a C3 fully insured and audited third party vault in the United States, and other approved institutional vaults.

This initiative enables:

  • 10,000 ounces of real gold prepared for on-chain distribution

  • A transparent, auditable, Just-in-Time allocation model

  • On-chain proof-of-reserves to verify every ounce once purchased

  • Seamless trading access through Lumia Stream’s and C-Gold’s liquidity routes

The Parties may scale well beyond this initial $43 million tranche based on market demand.

Introducing the New Era of Gold-Backed Digital Products

1. Gold Liquidity on DeFi: Trade Gold On-Chain, 24/7

Using Lumia Stream’s Delta Neutral Liquidity infrastructure, users will gain access to deep liquidity for gold-backed tokens with clean settlement processes, circuit-breakers, and institutional-grade price feeds supplied by C-Gold.

A liquidity pool will be launched on Morphex, creating one of the first interoperable, non-synthetic gold markets built on real vault inventory.

2. The Gold Savings Plan™ — Automated, Recurring Gold Accumulation

The partnership includes the launch of the LUMIA Gold Savings Plan™, enabling users worldwide to accumulate vaulted gold through weekly or monthly subscriptions.

Key features include:

  • Instant price-lock at the time of purchase

  • Recurring DCA (dollar-cost-averaging) gold accumulation

  • Monthly statements

  • On-chain proof-of-reserves

  • Optional physical delivery or cash redemption

This product will serve as a trusted global alternative to traditional savings accounts.

A New Standard for Transparency & Trust in Digital Gold

C-Gold will maintain full responsibility for the procurement, custody, and vaulting of all physical gold backing the tokens. Lumia will maintain all on-chain controls, mint/burn governance, and user-facing infrastructure.

The partnership ensures:

  • Institutional-grade audits

  • Monthly vault statements

  • Proof-of-reserves hash publications

  • Transparent fees and reconciliation

  • Regulatory-aware compliance controls

This creates one of the most verifiable and trust-centric gold-backed ecosystems ever attempted in the blockchain industry.

Executive Commentary

Sami Chalfouh, CEO of C-Gold Technologies, said:

“Inline with C-Gold Technologies’ mission to bring tangible gold to the paper market, tokenized gold has always promised to bridge the gap between physical assets and digital markets — but until now, no one has delivered both real institutional gold and scalable on-chain infrastructure. With Lumia, we’re laying the foundation for global accessibility, transparency, and liquidity for vaulted precious metals.”

Yanush Ali, Co-founder at Lumia, stated:

“Our goal is simple: let people and institutions hold and trade real vaulted gold from a wallet, without losing the audit trail or the trust that comes with professional custody. C-Gold brings the metal and the vaults, we bring the infrastructure, the controls, and the liquidity.”
