HeraclesCapital today disclosed a strategic investment in MiloGold, aimed at demonstrating an institutional blueprint for tokenized commodities: audited custody, always-on Proof-of-Reserve (PoR), and programmatic liquidity. The firm will actively support MiloGold’s integrations, reporting, and market structure so that institutions can evaluate, allocate, and verify on-chain gold exposure.
Investment Thesis (HeraclesCapital Perspective)
- Collateral quality: Gold’s depth and familiarity make it a natural first mover for RWAs, while on-chain verification reduces information asymmetry.
- Transparency premium: Merkle proofs, ZK options, and third-party attestations create continuously testable reserves instead of periodic claims.
- Liquidity architecture: Multi-venue CEX/DEX access and lending or borrowing mechanisms turn static metal into programmable collateral.
- Risk controls: Insured, LBMA-standard vaulting in Dubai and Europe; quarterly physical attestations; public PoR dashboard for institutional visibility.
What HeraclesCapital Brings
- Custody and insurance programs with regulated vault partners and A+ underwriters
- Liquidity engineering through market-making programs, DEX pools, and exchange listings strategy
- Institutional data layer including APIs, dashboards, attestations, and audit documentation
- Regulatory alignment across DMCC and VARA in the UAE, MiCA in the EU, and frameworks in North America
“Our objective is to set the bar for institutional-grade tokenized commodities and invite scrutiny,” said Hugh Ralph, Partner at HeraclesCapital. “We’re putting our execution resources behind a system where custody clarity, PoR transparency, and liquidity depth are designed to work together.”
What We Are Showcasing to Institutions
- Self-reinforcing PoR economics: Platform fee flows are directed back into PoR smart contracts, increasing reserve strength as activity grows.
- Security posture: Audits by CertiK and Hexens, infrastructure under the AWS Startup Program, and operational playbooks including pause controls.
- Multi-chain rails: $MLGD lives on BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), with gold-backed NFTs on Solana. The roadmap includes future bridges to Ethereum and Base.
- Unit economics and utility: Each $MLGD represents 1/1,000,000 oz of gold. Staking, lending, and leasing features enable gold to function as yield-capable, liquid collateral.
The CEO of MiloGold commented, “HeraclesCapital isn’t just supplying capital. It’s lending operator horsepower across custody integrations, liquidity programs, and audit cadence so institutions can treat tokenized gold as programmable, verifiable collateral.”
