GeM: OUR NFT
GeM is our NFT 100% backed by, and exchangeable into totally traceable, sustainably produced pure gold bars.
Each GeM token will represent a defined quantity of allocated physical gold metal produced and held by IPMB Ltd in first class international vaults, on behalf of the GeM holder.
IPMB will be the currency of our new digitised gold ecosystem as a whole, and will be the currency of choice to buy GeM tokens.
GeM TOKENS
We will offer 3 standard types of GeM tokens (GeM10, GeM100, GeM1000) representing respectively 10g, 100g and 1kg of gold, and a non-standardised GeM named bespoke to be individually designed to fit the needs of the investor.
Value Store
Accessible Trading
Full traceability
Value store
GeM is a secure and free-of-charge proxy to store value in gold metal. Any time after an initial lock-up period, 12 months, dedicated to sourcing and production, GeM holders can demand physical delivery of their underlying gold, subject to delivery fees and a minimum redemption amount of 1 kilogram of gold.
Accessible trading
GeM is also an easy, liquid and dis-intermediated tool to trade physical gold. This makes it accessible to a wider pool of investors who do not wish to allocate the resources to store and trade physical gold themselves.
Full traceability
Today, GeM is the only vehicle capable to provide ESG sensitive gold investors with a full scale traceability of their assets, from the mine to the vault, with detailed data on environmental and social impacts at any step of the value chain.
GeM BENEFITS
BUY GOLD BELOW MARKET PRICE
In order to allow us complete the whole gold production process, GeM investors will waive their right to demand physical delivery during the first year following the date the GeM is minted.
This initial 12 month period is voluntarily extensive, with the purpose to permit us to fully perform our obligations even in case of any unforeseen circumstances which might disrupt the production process.
As a compensation, we will reward investors with a 3% upfront discount to the Gold price on their purchase.
ALL COSTS COVERED BY US
We will directly manage the whole production process from the mine to the vault and will gather the traceability data.
Part of the proceeds from the industrial process will be spent on the storage, security and audit of the gold. As a result, the physical backing of the GeM will be free of charge for the GeM holders.
GeM smart contracts will keep an unforgeable record of all the sustainability data of the underlying gold bar. As a result, GeM ambitions to become the reference vehicle in the market to invest in gold, suitable for ESG compliant asset managers of all kind.
