Each Gold digital currency is backed by one ounce US American Eagle gold coin. The holders of the currency can redeem it for physical gold coins or sell them on the open market through various digital asset exchanges or through Blockfills in exchange for US Dollars. The USG pricing will follow the publicly available price set by the US Mint every week.

The launch is expected to lead to reduced cost of transaction and increased flexibility of time for making payments. All classes of investors are allowed to invest in USG. It must be noted that there has been a growing demand for gold as a digital asset over the past one year.

Larry Debry, Director US Gold Currency termed the new product as a futuristic and modern gold asset class for the 21st Century.
