London / Dubai / Nairobi — July 2025 — Ubuntu Tribe (UTribe), a Web3-native fintech company, today announced the expansion of its flagship product, GIFT Gold, a fully regulated, gold-backed digital token. This milestone follows the company’s official registration as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Europe, positioning UTribe among a select group of globally compliant digital asset firms.

By offering fractional ownership of audited and insured physical gold through a mobile-first platform, UTribe is removing traditional barriers to wealth and enabling users—especially the unbanked—to preserve, grow, and control their financial future.

“Gold has always represented security, but access to it has been reserved for the privileged,” said Mamadou Kwidjim Touré, Founder and CEO of UTribe.

“At UTribe, we’re delivering real-world value into the hands of everyday people—anywhere in the world, starting with a mobile phone.”

GIFT Gold: Simple, secure, and globally accessible

GIFT Gold is backed 1:1 by certified physical gold stored in secure, regulated vaults across Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, the UAE, and additional jurisdictions soon to follow. Every token is transparently linked to its underlying asset, which is:

• Fully audited

• Insured against loss

• Stored in compliant jurisdictions

Available in units starting from just 1 gram, GIFT Gold allows users to save, store, and send gold-backed value without needing a traditional bank account. Through the UTribe Wallet, individuals can manage their holdings with ease and security, even in underserved regions.

Regulated, compliant, and built for trust

UTribe is fully licensed under the European VASP framework and is aligned with the forthcoming MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation.

UTribe currently operates across Africa, the United States, United Kingdom, UAE, Singapore, and Mauritius, offering a compliant, transparent alternative for users seeking stability and access to regulated real-world assets.

Why gold now?

Over the past decade, gold has increased more than 180% in USD terms, far outperforming many fiat currencies. As inflation and economic uncertainty increase, more individuals are turning to gold as a stable hedge against devaluation.

UTribe brings that security to the fingertips of users globally—regulated, mobile-first, and inclusive.

The next phase: Smarter tools for a smarter economy

Looking ahead, UTribe is building a suite of AI-powered financial tools designed to:

• Deliver personalized financial education

• Recommend goal-based savings strategies

• Support long-term asset growth and literacy

“We’re not just offering gold. We’re building a gateway to financial mobility,” said Touré.

“Our mission is to empower users with real-world value, regulatory safety, and smart tools that help them thrive.”
