In a groundbreaking move for Pakistan’s financial sector, global digital asset platform Fasset has officially launched the country’s first tokenized gold investment solution. The initiative has been approved under a Regulatory Sandbox license from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), allowing Fasset to test its blockchain-based platform in a controlled environment.
By leveraging blockchain technology, Fasset is offering Pakistanis a secure, transparent, and accessible way to invest in fractional units of physical gold — starting from as little as PKR 100. This solution aims to democratize gold ownership, particularly at a time when economic uncertainty, rising inflation, and currency depreciation are pushing citizens to seek more stable investment options.
Traditional gold investment in Pakistan has often been limited by high entry costs, storage risks, and lack of access for low-income segments. Fasset’s innovation addresses these challenges by introducing gold tokens that are fully backed 1:1 by physical gold. Every transaction is recorded on-chain, ensuring auditability, reducing fraud, and improving regulatory transparency.
Operating within SECP’s Sandbox framework, the service will undergo live testing to assess scalability, security, and user experience before rolling out nationally. Users can sign up through KYC verification, deposit funds, buy gold tokens, track their investments in real-time, and eventually convert digital gold into physical gold for delivery — all via Fasset’s secure digital platform.
Speaking about the launch, Fasset CEO and Co-Founder Mohammad Raafi Hossain stated, “At Fasset, our mission has always been to democratize access to wealth-building tools. We’re proud to offer a safe, transparent, and affordable way for Pakistanis to invest in one of the world’s most reliable stores of value.”
The launch is seen as a major step toward financial inclusion in Pakistan, encouraging safe digital investment options and advancing the formalization of the gold market. This initiative is expected to boost confidence in blockchain-based financial tools and could serve as a model for future tokenized assets in the country.
