Norilsk Nickel began testing a platform for trading tokens secured by metal.
On digitalthe platform, customers will be able to purchase tokens secured by real assets - in this case, metals - and then exchange them for physical reserves.
Details about the official launch of the digital platformNorilsk Nickel plans to announce it in the spring of 2020. According to Potanin, the launch could take place in the USA, UAE, Switzerland or Singapore, since Russia has not yet adopted a law on digital financial assets.
The news is very interesting, because... In Russia, precious metals can be purchased in the following ways:
1) Buy a bullion from a bank;
2) Buy investment coins;
3) Open an impersonal metal account (OMA);
4) Investment in mutual funds that invest in precious metals;
5) Trading metal on the stock exchange.
Tokens issued on the blockchain look veryInteresting. Another question: will anyone be able to purchase a Potanin token, for example, for BTC, or will the token be available only to a limited circle of people?!
