CHICAGO, ILLINOIS / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / In a digital economy flooded with algorithmic coins and dollar-backed tokens that rely on promises rather than proof, one asset emerges as the most credible foundation for the next generation of stablecoins: gold-backed ION.au from I-ON Digital Corp (OTCQB:IONI).

At a time when trust and transparency are paramount, ION.au is engineered to become the most secure and compliant asset in the stablecoin space - not just another digital currency, but a foundation for a global, verifiable and audited digital treasury built on physically allocated and government-verified in-situ gold reserves.

Whereas most stablecoins depend on fiat holdings or bonds - often outside investor reach - I-ON Digital is taking a radically more secure and scalable approach: each ION.au token is backed not just 1:1 with gold, but secured by a 5:1 ratio of physical gold to token issuance. This over-collateralization, verified through geological surveys and audited accounts, turns ION.au into an inherently deflationary, trust-first asset.

Building the Vault for the Digital Economy

ION Digital is doing more than minting gold-backed tokens - they're constructing an entire ecosystem around what may become the central reserve asset for the digital age. The ION.au Treasury is structured to support:

• Banks building gold-pegged payment networks,

• Fintechs launching fully backed stablecoins,

• Governments exploring CBDCs tied to real reserves.

And unlike speculative tokens or algorithmic experiments, ION.au meets strict financial standards - combining blockchain audibility with institutional-grade compliance, KYC/AML/CFT controls, and monthly disclosures.

The GENIUS Act Changes Everything - ION Was Built For It

The recent passage of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act marks a regulatory milestone for the digital asset industry. This legislation sets clear guidelines for stablecoin issuers - including full asset backing, audit trails, and AML compliance.

ION.au doesn't just comply - it was built with this regulatory clarity in mind.

As a hybrid between a GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoin and an SEC-eligible asset-backed security token, ION.au is uniquely positioned to thrive in this new era. It offers both stability and upside, backed by a fast-growing, blockchain-verified gold treasury and the technological infrastructure to scale globally.

Why ION Stands Alone

In a post-GENIUS Act landscape, I-ON Digital offers what no other issuer can:

• Regulatory compliance without sacrificing investment potential

• Real-world, independently verified assets backing each token

• A proven blockchain platform, validated by industry accolades like the Chainlink Hackathon award

• MTM-accounted digital assets on a public balance sheet - setting a new bar for transparency

A Future Anchored in Gold

As the financial world shifts toward tokenized money and programmable finance, ION Digital's gold-backed ecosystem may be the most credible solution in the stablecoin space - bridging traditional finance with decentralized efficiency, and doing so with audited integrity, real assets, and regulatory foresight.

ION.au isn't just another token. It's a gold-powered financial engine - built to endure, designed to comply, and ready to scale.
