What is EIG Global Trust?

EIG Global Trust, established in 2023 as a Delaware Statutory Trust, is a private entity dedicated to driving digital asset transformation for central banks, commercial banks, and financial institutions. Our foundation rests on the collective expertise of six trustees with backgrounds spanning innovative banking and finance, software development, computer security, regulatory enforcement, Big Four consulting, and government auditing.

What is Our Mission?

Our mission is to develop, educate, and deploy robust digital asset and collateral solutions. These solutions aim to stabilize, modernize, and enhance central banks, commercial banks, financial institutions, and high net-worth portfolios. We achieve this by strategically funding major projects that foster Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and economic stability in a sustainable and responsible manner.

What Are Digital Assets?

Digital currencies are electronically stored and can be owned, transferred, or traded as digital tokens or coins. Critically, stablecoins offer significant advantages over traditional fiat currencies and credit instruments (such as USD and Treasury notes) due to their enhanced security, accountability, and trackability on digital ledger blockchains. EIG Global Trust offers two primary stablecoins: EIG Bank Coin (EIGBC) and USD Gold (USDGOLD).

What Are Stablecoins?

A stablecoin is a digital currency designed to maintain a consistent measure of transaction value. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin – BTC), stablecoins achieve this stability by being pegged to a reliable asset and maintaining a 100% 1:1 Proof of Reserves, preferably backed by gold.

Stablecoins are rapidly gaining mainstream adoption, supported by regulatory approvals in regions such as the EU (MiCA) and the UK (FCA), with legislative developments like the US GENIUS Act further shaping their landscape. Their growing significance is underscored by the World Economic Forum’s report that stablecoin transactions exceeded $27 trillion in 2024, surpassing the combined volume of all Visa and Mastercard transactions.

How are EIG Global Trust Stablecoins Superior?

EIG Global Trust’s stablecoins offer distinct advantages for institutional partners:

1. Dual Asset-Backed Stability: Our issued stablecoins, EIGBC and USDGOLD, are 100% “double-backed” by a combination of USD and cash equivalents, along with physical gold (Au). These stablecoins are officially recognized and recorded as assets on our client partners’ balance sheets, in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) guidelines.
2. Substantial Gold Reserves: We hold initial reserves exceeding $5 trillion USD in fine gold (Au), supplemented by over $1 trillion in verified and registered precious metals, including additional gold. Notably, the $5 trillion in reserved fine gold is recorded within the United States Federal Reserve banking system, providing a global regulatory financial standard for asset audit.
3. Favorable Regulatory Treatment: Our gold (Au) backing is advantageous for financial partners, as Basel III international banking regulations mandate that banks report gold at its market price. This likely increases its value over time, unlike fixed-price fiat stablecoins, leveraging gold’s historical scarcity and enduring value.
4. Institutional Peg Values: Built specifically for the banking and business-to-business finance community, our stablecoins feature high peg values: $1 million USD for EIGBC and $1,000 USD for USDGOLD. This makes them exceptionally practical for large transaction processes compared to stablecoins pegged at only $1 USD. Despite their higher denomination, EIGBC and USDGOLD tokens can be easily fractionalized up to five decimal places for accounting and transaction purposes.
5. Scalable, Pre-Minted Supply: Our stablecoins have a pre-minted supply on the blockchain, consisting of 90 million EIGBC (potentially $90 trillion USD value) and 5 billion USDGOLD (potentially $500 billion USD value) tokens. These reserves are poised to meet the future requirements of the world’s financial community. As of December 6, 2024, our fine gold reserves represent a market cap of $6.1 trillion USD (potentially $95 trillion USD), dwarfing the combined market capitalization of all other retail-level traded digital currencies (approximately $250 billion). Consequently, EIGBC and USDGOLD tokens are not currently traded on public retail crypto exchanges. Instead, EIG Global Trust facilitates trading and transactional processes directly with banks, asset managers, financial institutions, registered broker-dealer networks, and high-net-worth entities and corporations.

What’s the Difference Between EIGBC and USDGOLD?

• EIGBC: Valued at $1,000,000 USD per coin, EIGBC is primarily deployed as the core gold-backed USD asset for collateral purposes on our financial partners’ balance sheets. We custodially maintain the partner’s cold wallet on our proprietary blockchain, and the EIGBC is simultaneously recorded as an asset on their books with an auditable code-based delivery document. Once booked, EIGBC serves as collateral for partner products, including credit lines, project financing, and various financial instruments.
• USDGOLD: Valued at $100 USD per token, USDGOLD complements EIGBC by providing a practical means for balance sheet enhancement, bank fractional leverage, and liquidity for loan portfolios (credit lines) and settlements. USDGOLD can also be used as collateral or to enhance the EIGBC recorded on the books. Additionally, USDGDOLD facilitates the settlement or payment of returns generated by the partnership, such as interest/coupon payments for holding EIGBC, earnings from financed projects, or proceeds from a digital asset product re-sold/traded to a partner’s clients. Like other cryptocurrencies, our stablecoins enable seamless cross-border payments.

Where Did the Gold Backing Come From?

In December 2024, EIG Global Trust secured an initial $5 trillion USD block of allocated and reserved fine gold (Au) through a partnership with a world gold consortium. Further, in April 2025, this $5 trillion in reserved fine gold was published and recorded as audited reserves on The United States Federal Reserve (“FED”) Screen, which is the world’s regulatory financial standard for asset audits. Additionally, we partnered with mining companies to acquire verifiable and registered precious metals, including gold, in the form of National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant assets, valued conservatively at over $1 trillion in gold reserves at the time of acquisition in March 2024.

Were Our Stablecoins Audited?

Yes, both our stablecoins underwent comprehensive Security, Project Owners, and Proof of Reserves Audits. Internationally recognized blockchain security auditors Hashlock Pty Ltd conducted the security audit, while a Certified Public Accountant performed the Project Owners and Proof of Reserves Audits.

Where Can You Buy/Sell Our Stablecoins?

Our stablecoins are not available on public exchanges. They are specifically tailored for central banks, commercial banks, financial institutions, and high-net-worth portfolios, as public exchanges cannot currently handle the value or volume of our stablecoins. Please contact us directly to purchase our stablecoins. We are equipped to provide our coins and tokens directly to banks and financial institutions to support their balance sheet stabilization objectives and facilitate their growth initiatives for leveraged liquidity and substantial returns.

Does EIG Global Trust Plan to Launch “Retail” Stablecoins?

Yes. We are currently developing a fast, scalable, and secure platform to power digital currency retail ecosystems. This platform will leverage our gold-backed stablecoin model to provide “last mile” solutions to countries and clients, enabling wallet transfers and transactions, thus establishing a true end-to-end EIG Global Trust digital infrastructure.

Does EIG Global Trust Have Regulatory Approval/Cryptocurrency Licenses?

EIG Global Trust’s digital asset solutions have been approved for deployment by 71 central banks and over 700 additional banking organizations, meeting their Basle III compliance requirements through our extensive world financial community associations. We also collaborate closely with client countries to secure all necessary local licenses for cryptocurrency/financial transactions or currencies. As our stablecoins are not currently traded on public exchanges, we have not pursued consumer-focused licenses. However, being based in the USA, our stablecoins are designed to be fully compliant with future legislation (e.g., the US GENIUS Act), and EIG Global Trust already meets the requirements of the international regulatory community.

What are the Responsibilities of EIG Global Trust?

We provide turn-key digital asset solutions to partners, beginning with the issuance of gold-backed stablecoins for collateral purposes. As the stablecoin project owners, we determine the peg value, supply, and issuance of the stablecoins. We also manage the stablecoin transfer process to our partners, including training, wallet setup, transfer, and reporting.

What are the Responsibilities of Our Partners?

We require our partners to:

• Sign the Master Agreement.
• Designate the responsible party for the custody of access codes to their named EIGBC & USDGOLD cold wallets.
• Issue fiat-based credit lines using EIGBC/USDGOLD as collateral.
• Define the use of the credit lines (e.g., project financing, financial instruments, CBDC).
• Pay EIG Global Trust its 5% management fee.

What is the Opportunity?

We provide digital asset collateral by transferring our gold-backed stablecoins directly to our client banks’ and financial institutions’ balance sheets, where they are recorded as an asset. This collateral then empowers the banks and financial institutions to issue credit lines (including leveraging opportunities) for project financing, financial products, trading instruments, and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) initiatives.

Our stablecoins also generate returns for partners simply by being held over time. Partners can further allocate these stablecoins to their client base, generating additional returns via the spread between what they earn from EIG Global Trust and what they pay their own clients. This allows partners to indirectly share in project profits derived from the remediation of interest and expenses through the enhancement of the initial collateral, in the form of stablecoins issued by EIG Global Trust, for financed projects or leveraged instruments.
