GoldBod to launch digital gold platform for Ghanaians, Africans
Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi, has announced plans to establish a gold tokenisation platform that will enable Ghanaians to buy, trade and use gold digitally.
GoldBod's CEO Sammy Gyamfi announced plans to launch a digital gold platform for Ghanaians and Africans, aiming to make the gold market more accessible. The platform, set to become widely available, will allow users to buy, trade, and use gold digitally, similar to the widespread use of mobile money. Users can create accounts, purchase digital gold, trade their holdings, transfer them as gifts, and convert them into cash when needed.
Additionally, GoldBod plans to roll out a gold tokenisation programme in 2027, promoting fractional ownership of Ghana's gold resources among citizens and Africans. This initiative aims to allow Ghanaians, often unfamiliar with gold, to own a fraction of the mineral wealth through their mobile devices. Just as they hold money in their MoMo wallets, they can earn, use, transfer, and gift gold tokens to loved ones, like a birthday present for their son.
Gyamfi emphasized that the initiative aligns with President John Mahama's efforts to reform Ghana's mining sector and ensure more Ghanaians benefit directly from the country's gold resources. The digital platform seeks to deepen Ghanaians' participation in the gold economy, making investment more accessible through digital technology.
