The novel fund structure offers secured gold-linked exposure leveraging blockchain infrastructure to support tokenised fund issuance.
SINGAPORE, 9 December 2025 – FundBridge Capital Pte. Ltd. (“FundBridge”), today announced the establishment of the MG 999 On-Chain Gold Fund (“MG999”), a secured private credit fund designed to track the performance of gold spot price and achieve a yield return. The fund is intended to allow investors to gain economic exposure to the performance of gold without incurring vaulting and other costs associated with holding the physical asset.
Developed in partnership with Libeara, a tokenisation platform incubated by SC Ventures by Standard Chartered, the fund will issue tokenised fund units where the value of such units is intended to correlate to the spot price of gold. Mustafa Gold Pte. Ltd. (“Mustafa Gold”), which operates in the gold retail sector, will be the initial borrower of the fund.
“Gold-linked token is a specialized financial product that is quite unique and complex,” said Mustaq Ahmad, founder of the Mustafa Group. “MG999 will enable gold retailers to capitalise on innovation in the digital space and help to better manage working capital needs.”
“FundBridge’s priority is to bridge traditional fund governance with emerging digital infrastructure. Through this fund, we’ve worked closely with our partners to ensure the framework meets the standards of a regulated fund environment while advancing the use of real-world assets on-chain,” said Sue Lynn Lim, CEO of FundBridge Capital.
The fund’s tokenisation infrastructure is powered by Libeara. The company provides FundBridge with the technology to issue regulated, tokenised fund units. Libeara’s digital infrastructure already supports over US$1 billion in compliant and secure on-chain assets.
“A token is only useful if it solves a real problem,” said Aaron Gwak, founder and CEO of Libeara. “We are providing Web3-compatible technology rails to help the industry transform gold into a productive instrument, delivering new capital and operational efficiency,” he added. The fund’s tokenised format has seen continued interest in regulated approaches to tokenising real-world assets within the digital-asset ecosystem from web3 players such as Theo.
“Our community continues to explore projects that combine strict governance standards with on-chain access,” said TK Kwon, Co-Founder of Theo. “MG999 represents a regulated framework that aligns with this direction, and we’re pleased to participate in its early development.”
