Introducing MetalStream

MetalStream is a precious metals trading company, founded in Malaysia and operating globally, with a refinery hub in Dubai. We issue security tokens fully backed by physical metal, sourced at discount via trading activities and forward-purchase agreements with miners.

Precious Metal Meets Blockchain

MetalStream applies blockchain technology to precious metal. The founders had previously worked together on related projects and are drawn from mining, technology and capital market backgrounds. The result is an innovative and safe business model which brings the benefits of blockchain to this traditional investment asset class

Company Overview

The company is incorporated in the Labuan International Business & Finance Centre, an independent offshore financial jurisdiction under the purview of the Ministry of Finance, Malaysia and fully regulated by the Labuan Financial Services Authority.

From Malaysia, the company has expanded to New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, and the UAE. MetalStream has a corporate HQ in Kuala Lumpur, with its logistics and refinery hub located in the DMCC free-trade zone in Dubai, operated by subsidiary Gassendi.

The company has built a bullion inventory from gold trading and has secured a future pipeline via multiple and diversified forward purchase contracts. Ownership of the stored gold is available to subscribers via fully backed security tokens.

In disrupting this sector, the company is able to offer its security token subscribers value, whilst maintaining safety and liquidity.

The company has no debt and utilizes subscription funds entirely for business operations. The company is highly selective of the mining companies with which it executes forward purchase contracts and of the jurisdictions in which the developments are located.

The company is values sound, ethical and transparent operators and applies those same values to itself.

All of the gold bullion which backs MSGLD and for which MSGLD is redeemable for, is certified and stored in accredited, independent bullion storage facilities.

The MetalStream Model

MetalStream is issuing MSGLD as part of its mission to deliver liquidity, safety and value to token holders and bring the benefits of blockchain technology to this traditional investment.

Liquidity, safety and value to all participants

MetalStream negotiates forward-purchase contracts for gold with mining development companies and bullion holders. Proceeds are used to issue MSGLD security tokens backed by and redeemable for gold, as the gold is delivered. MetalStream buys the gold at a substantial discount to the spot price of gold, and is passing on a portion of that discount to MSGLD subscribers.

The beauty of the MetalStream model is that it benefits all stakeholders - mine operators get access to an equitable non-dilutive finance option, subscribers get incredible value and the company can secure profitable margins for its shareholders.

The model integrates blockchain technology with an industry that has relied on difficult and expensive analogue solutions that do not benefit all parties equally.

All bullion held now and in future for redemption will have a minimum fineness of 99.5% and will be held with reputable and approved custodians.

The MSGLD security token gives subscribers a safe, liquid and low cost method of investing in and holding gold at incredible value for money.
