MultiBank Group's crypto arm mb.io has partnered with Kings Orbis, EON3 Group, and Mavryk to launch an institutional gold tokenization program for physically-backed gold sourced from West Africa. The program will make Ashanti gold accessible to global investors in a digital, fractional, and regulated format. Each token represents direct ownership of the underlying physical gold, which will be vaulted in Dubai under LBMA-approved custody. The initiative includes tokenizing a curated collection of "Gold Art" to honor the cultural legacy of the Ashanti Kingdom. mb.io RWA will serve as the regulated marketplace, Kings Orbis as program coordinator, EON3 as the dedicated supply partner, and Mavryk as the Layer 1 blockchain and tech infrastructure provider. The partners announced the collaboration at the World Peace Summit in Ghana, receiving support from His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene.

Dubai, U.A.E, May 11th, 2026, Chainwire

MultiBank Group’s crypto arm mb.io, brings African gold on-chain by partnering with Kings Orbis, EON3 Group, and Mavryk.

Institutional gold tokenisation programme to be powered by mb.io RWA, with vaulting in Dubai under LBMA-approved custody, dedicated supply from EON3 Group, and Mavryk as the Layer 1 blockchain and RWA tech infrastructure partner.

mb.io, the crypto arm of MultiBank Group, has confirmed an institutional partnership with Kings Orbis, EON3 Group Ghana Ltd, and Mavryk to develop an institutional-grade tokenisation programme for physically-backed gold sourced from West Africa. The partnership unites four institutional roles in a single architecture: mb.io RWA as the regulated tokenisation marketplace, Kings Orbis as programme coordinator, EON3 Group as the dedicated institutional supply partner, and Mavryk as the Layer 1 blockchain and RWA tech infrastructure partner.

Senior representatives of all four partners attended the World Peace Summit in Kumasi, Ghana on Friday, 24 April 2026, where they participated in discussions held under the Pillars of Peace movement. The visit included a private audience with His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene King of the Ashanti Kingdom, who has expressed his personal support for the success of this partnership. The meeting underscored the cultural significance of West African gold and the responsible institutional framework the partnership is designed to deliver.

The Ashanti Kingdom, one of West Africa’s most historically significant kingdoms, has been synonymous with gold for centuries. The region was known globally as the “Gold Coast” for its unmatched gold reserves and has produced gold for over 700 years, supplying global trade routes and shaping the cultural and economic identity of modern Ghana. This collaboration brings that legacy on-chain, making Ashanti gold accessible to a global investor base for the first time in a digitally native, fractionally tradeable form.

Each token represents direct ownership of the underlying physical gold, vaulted in Dubai under institutional-grade custody. Beyond commodity-grade gold, the partnership will also tokenise a curated collection of Gold Art — physical artworks crafted from and inspired by Ashanti gold — honouring the cultural legacy of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene and a globally recognised advocate for the Pillars of Peace movement.

The programme that mb.io, Kings Orbis, EON3, and Mavryk are developing together is built to change that. It gives international investors access to African gold in a digital, fractional format. Physical backing is independently verified at every stage.

Under the architecture being developed, each token will represent direct institutional ownership of the underlying physical gold, vaulted in Dubai under LBMA-approved institutional custody. Kings Orbis is structuring the programme on a single founding principle: every token in circulation must be backed by an independently verified physical asset, with institutional oversight at every stage of the lifecycle, from sourcing and refining through vaulting, tokenisation, and secondary trading.

The program is delivered through mb.io RWA, MultiBank Group’s digital asset and tokenization arm. mb.io runs a regulated crypto exchange and will be launching a dedicated marketplace for tokenized real-world assets. Self-custodial wallets and on-chain compliance are built into the platform from the ground up.

mb.io is a globally regulated cryptocurrency exchange, placing it among a small group of tokenization platforms with genuine regulatory backing in one of the world’s most active digital asset jurisdictions.

The African gold programme is one of the largest initiatives currently in active development on mb.io RWA, which is being built to support institutional-grade tokenization across multiple asset classes.

The programme is powered by Mavryk, mb.io’s dedicated Layer 1 blockchain and RWA tech infrastructure partner. Mavryk’s purpose-built infrastructure provides the technical foundation for issuing, settling, and trading tokenised physical gold at institutional scale, with the compliance hooks, lifecycle controls, and interoperability that regulated programmes require. Mavryk has been integrated as the dedicated Layer 1 across mb.io’s RWA programme, ensuring a consistent technology stack across asset classes.

Comments from the partners

Zak Taher, CEO of mb.io and Chief Business Officer of MultiBank Group, said: “This partnership represents a defining moment for real-world asset tokenisation. By bringing the heritage and value of Ashanti gold on-chain through mb.io RWA, we are giving global investors access to one of the world’s oldest and most trusted stores of value in a fully digital, fractional, and regulated form. The additional Gold Art collection adds an extraordinary cultural dimension to this initiative, connecting tradition, art, and finance in a way that has never been done before.”

Christian Rainer Arndt, Managing Partner of DEVPRAG FZCO and principal of Kings Orbis FZCO, said: “Kings Orbis has been built on the principle that institutional-grade tokenisation requires institutional-grade architecture, verified supply, regulated custody, and independent oversight at every stage. Our supply partnership with EON3 Group Ghana Ltd anchors the programme in a credible institutional supply chain, and this partnership with mb.io and Mavryk brings the platform, the infrastructure, and the programme coordination into a single institutional framework. We are progressing carefully and look forward to sharing more in due course.”

Richard Ofori Atta, Chairman of EON3 Group Ghana Ltd, said: “EON3 has spent years building the operational foundations to bring African gold to international markets in physical form, particularly through our minting and refining work in producing investment-grade bullion. With this partnership, we now take that work into its next chapter, digitising and tokenising African gold under institutional architecture, in collaboration with Kings Orbis, mb.io, and Mavryk. It is a natural and important evolution that opens new pathways for African gold as a credible, transparent, and globally accessible institutional asset.”

Alex Davis, Co-Founder and CEO of Mavryk, said: “Mavryk was built specifically for real-world assets, with a focus that makes a programme like this possible at institutional scale. Tokenising African gold is precisely the kind of initiative our infrastructure was designed for, and a partnership we are proud to be part of. Together with mb.io, Kings Orbis, and EON3, we are powering this programme as the dedicated Layer 1 and RWA tech partner across every stage of the architecture.”

Proposal HIP-4 Hyperliquid Bahan Bakar Staking HYPE Seiring Keyakinan Jangka Panjang Meningkat

Hyperliquid mengusulkan peningkatan HIP-4 untuk memperkenalkan pasar hasil tanpa izin, memperluas protokol di luar futures perpetual menjadi lapisan infrastruktur untuk aplikasi on-chain. Untuk meluncurkan pasar baru, deployer harus staking 500.000 HYPE. Proposal ini menggeser fokus Hyperliquid dari membangun produk menjadi memungkinkan pengembang membangun di atas infrastrukturnya. Keyakinan jangka panjang terhadap HYPE meningkat, tercermin dari sentimen positif yang mencapai level tertinggi kedua dalam sebulan. Seorang trader besar memilih untuk staking 249.243 HYPE (senilai ~$15,5 juta) alih-alih mengambil keuntungan. Total HYPE yang di-staking mencapai sekitar 438,7 juta token (43,9% dari total pasokan), mengurangi ketersediaan langsung dan memperkuat keamanan jaringan. Struktur pasar juga menunjukkan momentum positif. Open interest melampaui $11 miliar, dengan funding rate seimbang dan likuidasi terbatas, mengindikasikan paparan yang diukur. Pendapatan protokol, TVL, dan partisipasi governance terus menguat. Kelangsungan momentum ini bergantung pada adopsi pengguna dan eksekusi upgrade yang sukses, yang dapat semakin memperkuat nilai jangka panjang HYPE.

7 Bulan Setelah Runtuhnya Huiwang, Lanskap Platform Jaminan Asia Tenggara Menghadapi Reshuffle Besar

Setelah platform garansi terkenal Asia Tenggara, "Huiwang Pay", runtuh pada Desember tahun lalu, pasar menyaksikan perubahan besar dan kemunculan platform-platform baru yang mengisi kekosongan. Platform-platform seperti XinBi, JinBei/JinBo, DaLi/TianCheng, Fulilai, dan LingHang kini beroperasi di wilayah gelap, terutama melayani industri abu-abu dan ilegal. Data dari Bitrace menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan platform XinBi telah melebihi 1,6 miliar USDT. Sementara itu, platform LingHang secara terbuka menyediakan layanan garansi untuk transaksi yang terkait dengan perdagangan manusia. JinBei, yang terkait erat dengan bisnis kasino, telah berganti nama menjadi JinBo. DaLi mewarisi banyak bisnis dari platform "Tudou" yang sebelumnya terkait dengan Huiwang. Adapun Fulilai terkait dengan kelompok kriminal keluarga Liu di Myanmar Utara. Meskipun platform-platform ini sering dijuluki "Alipay Asia Tenggara", fungsi sebenarnya jauh dari itu. Seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam laporan Elliptic, pasar garansi Huiwang telah menangani lebih dari 310 miliar dolar AS, menjadikannya pasar ilegal online terbesar yang pernah ada, yang terutama melayani pencucian uang, penipuan, perjudian, dan perdagangan manusia. Kebangkitan platform-platform baru ini mencerminkan ekosistem keuangan bawah tanah yang terus beradaptasi dan berkembang di Asia Tenggara, menunggu tindakan penegakan hukum lebih lanjut.

Cahaya Tak Semenarik Dulu: Apa yang Sedang Dialami oleh VC Kripto?

Krisis Dana Ventura Kripto Khusus: Pergeseran Menuju Infrastruktur dan Masa Depan yang Terpolarisasi Dana ventura khusus kripto, seperti Paradigm yang baru saja mengalihkan fokus ke AI dan robotika, sedang menghadapi tantangan eksistensial. Artikel ini membahas apakah dana semacam ini sedang menuju kepunahan, dengan menarik paralel dari siklus hidup dana khusus sebelumnya di sektor energi bersih dan SPAC. Inti masalahnya adalah runtuhnya *information advantage* (keunggulan informasi) yang dulunya dimiliki dana khusus. Saat teknologi kripto matang dan diadopsi raksasa tradisional seperti Stripe dan BlackRock, pengetahuan mendalam tentang MEV atau ekonomi validator tidak lagi menjadi penghalang masuk. Dana generalis besar (seperti a16z, Sequoia) kini dapat menilai proyek kripto dengan logika yang sama seperti fintech biasa. Industri ventura mengalami polarisasi "barbell": di satu ujung, platform besar multifokus; di ujung lain, dana kecil niche yang bisa bertahan dengan satu "home run". Dana khusus kripto ukuran menengah terjepit di "zona kematian", karena ukurannya terlalu besar untuk bergantung pada investasi seed kecil, namun terlalu kecil untuk bersaing di putaran growth. Ini memaksa banyak dana, seperti Framework Ventures, untuk melebarkan mandat investasi. Bahkan dana yang tetap berlabel "kripto" seperti Dragonfly dan a16z kini mendefinisikan ulang fokus mereka terutama pada infrastruktur keuangan berbasis blockchain (stablecoin, pasar prediksi), yang juga diminati dana generalis. Perubahan ini didorong oleh tekanan dari Limited Partner (LP) yang haus akan hasil di tengah kinerja buruk portofolio kripto mereka, dan teralihkan oleh daya tarik AI yang menyedot 70% modal ventura. Implikasi bagi startup kripto adalah tantangan baru: bersaing dengan proyek AI untuk mendapatkan perhatian di dana generalis, dan kehilangan sponsor jangka panjang untuk riset infrastruktur dasar yang kurang komersial (seperti yang pernah didanai Paradigm). Kesimpulannya, "dana ventura kripto" sebagai kategori mandiri mungkin akan usang, mirip dengan "dana internet". Kripto berevolusi menjadi infrastruktur dasar. Masa depan akan mengikuti pola barbell: dana besar multifokus mendanai pertumbuhan, sementara dana kecil khusus akan muncul untuk niche eksperimental baru (seperti tokenisasi). Dana ukuran menengah yang hanya fokus pada kripto akan menghadapi kesulitan bertahan.

Ketika Konsensus Semakin Cepat, Apa yang Ditaruhkan oleh Investor Muda?

Dengan kemajuan teknologi yang semakin cepat, terutama di bidang AI, robotika, dirgantara, dan komputasi kuantum, para investor muda berhadapan dengan perubahan logika investasi. Mereka tidak lagi cukup mengandalkan model keuangan dan pengalaman industri lama, tetapi juga harus memahami bahasa teknologi, menerima rute yang belum konvergen, dan membuat keputusan sebelum konsensus terbentuk. WAIC merilis daftar "Alpha Youth Investment Leaders," yang mencerminkan beberapa tren utama dalam investasi teknologi saat ini. Tren pertama adalah pergeseran AI dari layar ke dunia fisik. Perhatian kini beralih ke perangkat ujung, robot, mobil, sistem industri, dan infrastruktur luar angkasa. Meskipun robot humanoid dan kecerdasan emboddied menarik perhatian, fokus utama adalah kemampuan pengiriman dan ROI yang nyata, bukan hanya demonstrasi yang mengesankan. Kecerdasan ujung menjadi kunci, dengan perangkat keras AI yang membangun hubungan data dan layanan berkelanjutan dengan pengguna. Tren kedua adalah beralihnya fokus kompetisi dari model dasar ke "roda terbang cerdas." Manfaat model besar belum sepenuhnya terealisasi dalam merekonstruksi produktivitas. Nilai jangka panjang terletak pada perusahaan yang dapat mengintegrasikan kemampuan model ke dalam alur kerja nyata, membentuk siklus tertutup data, pelatihan, dan umpan balik pengguna yang saling memperkuat (roda terbang cerdas). Ini menciptakan nilai yang bertahan melampaui sekadar pembaruan model. Tren ketiga adalah munculnya teknologi dasar baru untuk mengatasi hambatan data. Ketika data manusia yang berkualitas tinggi menjadi langka, pembelajaran penguatan, permainan mandiri, dan model dasar ilmiah menjadi arah yang diperhatikan. Model-model ini bertujuan untuk membangun kemampuan yang lebih mendasar dan universal dalam bidang seperti ilmu kehidupan dan material, menggunakan data dan umpan balik eksperimen khusus untuk mendorong pertumbuhan kemampuan AI selanjutnya. Tren keempat adalah perlunya modal yang sabar untuk teknologi keras. Di bidang seperti dirgantara komersial, komputasi kuantum, dan energi canggih, siklus validasi lebih panjang dan penuh ketidakpastian teknis. Investasi di bidang ini memerlukan pemahaman awal tentang kemampuan teknik dan ketahanan tim, dengan harapan pengembalian dalam skala waktu yang lebih panjang, sambil mendorong perkembangan industri dan akumulasi kemampuan dasar. Peran investor muda adalah memahami teknologi lebih awal, masuk lebih dalam ke industri, dan membuat pilihan jangka panjang di tengah ketidakpastian.

Lepas Likuiditas $100 Juta? Kebijakan Baru Pump.fun Ujicoba 'Teknik Pump 5 Menit'

Pump.fun meluncurkan mode BOOST sebagai mekanisme default baru untuk meluncurkan token. Mode ini menargetkan likuiditas "terjebak" (sekitar 20%) yang biasanya terkunci permanen di pool likuiditas setelah token bermigrasi dari bonding curve. Alih-alih mengunci dana ini, BOOST menggunakannya untuk membeli token tersebut selama 5 menit pertama setelah migrasi melalui TWAP, lalu membakar token yang dibeli. Tujuannya adalah menciptakan tekanan beli jangka pendek dan mengurangi pasokan token, berpotensi memberikan "pompa" awal. Platform memperkirakan mekanisme lama menyebabkan pemborosan likuiditas lebih dari $100 juta per tahun. BOOST tidak mengubah pengalaman trading di bonding curve atau ambang batas migrasi. Ia secara otomatis berlaku untuk token yang bermigrasi setelah 21 Juli. Tujuannya adalah meningkatkan retensi trader dengan membuat momen setelah migrasi lebih menarik, yang pada akhirnya mendukung pendapatan platform yang berkelanjutan. Namun, ada kekhawatiran bahwa skema ini mungkin memudahkan peluncuran token berkualitas rendah dan berisiko menyebabkan penjualan besar dan keruntuhan harga setelah periode 5 menit berakhir.
