High Ridge Trust engagement completes critical NATG custody layer
, /PRNewswire/ — NatGold Digital Ltd. (“NatGold” or the “Company”), a pioneering digital gold mining company with a patent-pending process for sustainably unlocking the intrinsic value of in-ground gold resources through its digital mining and blockchain-based tokenization platform, today announced completion of the core tokenization ecosystem required to support the planned market launch of the NatGold Token (“NATG”), marked by the engagement of High Ridge Trust to provide independent custody services for NATG.
The completed ecosystem brings together the institutional components required to support NATG issuance, custody, and market participation. High Ridge Trust completes the custody layer of that ecosystem, serving as an independent third-party custodian and providing regulated, segregated cold-wallet infrastructure and institutional-grade safeguards for the protection and administration of NATG token holdings. High Ridge Trust is a Nevada-chartered qualified custodian built exclusively for institutional digital asset custody.
“With this final engagement, the core ecosystem is now in place as we prepare for NATG’s imminent launch,” said Andrés Fernández, CEO of NatGold Digital Ltd. “We chose to engage an independent, qualified custodian because the token‘s custody should reflect the same integrity and rigor as the asset it represents. By placing NATG in segregated cold-storage custody with High Ridge Trust, we are adding an independent layer of institutional control and providing clearer assurance that token holdings are safeguarded outside exchange or issuer wallets.”
NatGold’s digital mining model is designed to tokenize qualifying in-ground gold resources that remain securely stored in Mother Nature’s Vault. Under the Company’s process, independently verified gold resources are subject to technical, legal, and compliance review before recognition as NatGold Certified Resources and made eligible for tokenization. The High Ridge Trust engagement further reinforces NatGold’s focus on building a token infrastructure designed to support ownership transparency, custody integrity, and long-term market confidence.
“NatGold’s approach to tokenizing in-ground gold resources deserves custody that matches the ambition of the asset,” said Karen J. Wendel, President of High Ridge Trust. “High Ridge Trust is the coldest place on earth for institutional digital assets, and we are pleased to bring that elevated standard of safekeeping, segregation, and control to the NATG ecosystem.”
