The NatGold Revolution Just Launched!

Brian Hicks

Posted November 15, 2025

When you drive up that gravel road toward Pebble Creek, especially in the late summer with the sun low in the sky and dust rising behind the truck, you’ll smell the sage and dry rock in the air. 

That landscape is elemental: raw earth, hidden potential, quietly powerful. 

If I were to describe what’s happening right now in the gold/digital-asset world, I’d pick that same road, that same dusty promise of something large and unseen lying just beneath the surface.

Because what we’re witnessing now is one of the great undercurrents of our time: gold and tokenization converging, the old monetary system shifting, the “rails” of value being rewired. 

And at the center of that shift is NatGold — our anchor, our position, our strategic lever.

The Coming Shift in Value Railroads

Let’s start with a simple fact: According to the recent report by Coinotag News, tokenized gold on-chain has surged to $3.5 billion in value in 2025, “tripling from earlier levels and signalling strong institutional interest.”

Think about that: Literal gold, traditionally locked in vaults, handed over via physical logistics, is now being issued, held, and transferred digitally across blockchains — across networks like Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and more.

In those months leading into the MoneyQuake, we’ve been saying the world doesn’t just pivot from fiat to something else. It rewires how value moves, settles, and is trusted. The rail shift isn’t incremental — it’s tectonic.

And the article puts it bluntly: “This shift also signifies a broader movement of economic value toward private or semi-permissioned blockchains, fundamentally altering the settlement locations for real-world assets.”

Translation: The old settlement architecture — banks, vaults, legacy custodians, siloed ledgers — is being bypassed. 

Gold is being tokenized. 

Settlements are shifting out of daylight and into code. 

And institutions are quietly moving in.

If you were reading the tea leaves with us in the spring of MoneyQuake 2025, you’d see the signals: gold supply tightening, costs rising, discoveries shrinking, central banks accumulating, inflation lurking.

But what this digital tokenization layer adds is the “rail” — the infrastructure — enabling the next wave.

That changes everything.

Why NatGold Isn’t Just Another Token

But here’s the key: Not all tokenization is equal. The difference between hype and structural shift is enormous. 

That’s where our position in NatGold comes into sharp relief.

The second piece we referenced — the editorial by Anthony Wile at NatGold Digital Ltd. — titled “The Fall of Empires: Rome, the Dollar, and the Unleashing of a Monetary Reformation” — lays down the worldview we share. “Every empire believes it is eternal — until one day it isn’t.” 

You can read his full opinion here.

He writes: “When confidence in a monetary order breaks, it doesn’t fade — it collapses.”

And critically: “Gold remains the anchor. And perhaps NatGold, by merging the intrinsic stability of in-ground gold with the transparency of digital validation, represents a path toward a sustainable post-fiat world — an honest and natural monetary path forward.” 

That paragraph alone spells out the foundations of our thesis. We are not simply buying a token. We are participating in a regime shift: the unraveling of fiat-empire rails, the ascent of tokenized tangible assets, the deployment of a new monetary architecture.

NatGold encapsulates that: Real gold (in-ground, non-dilutive), digital tokens, blockchain validation, global settlement capability, transparency, and token economics aligned to scarcity and value.

That is why, in our MoneyQuake strategy, NatGold occupies a central position. It is our anchor across the digital/physical frontier, our hedge against fiat decay, our lever into the mobilization of asset rails.

Connecting the Dots — From Rusty Mines to Digital Ledgers

Let’s walk the terrain for a moment. Recall how in our earlier editorials, we talked about “peak gold” — the idea that discovery budgets are shrinking, costs are rising, permitting is harder, production profiles are slumping. 

Less bullion is being produced. Supply isn’t increasing. 

And when static or shrinking supply meets voracious demand, only one thing can happen to release the pressure: Prices soar.

As I write this, gold is up 59% in 2025. My price target for this year — a prediction I published in late 2024 — was $3,138/oz. Right now gold trades over $4,100.

There’s an imbalance in the gold market. Too many buyers, not enough gold supply above ground!

That’s still the story on the mining side. The physical side is under pressure. The economics of gold are bending.

But now add to that the digital side: Tokens and rails are emerging. The Coinotag piece shows that gold tokens are already at $3.5 billion. That’s not trivial. That’s not hype. That’s structural adoption.

So imagine this: You own a digital gold-token asset — you get the real-world physical anchor (in-ground or in-reserve gold) and you get the digital settlement, global reach, 24/7 access, and cross-border efficiency. 

That is the NatGold proposition.

And in a world where the dollar is decaying (as Wile argues), where empires print, inflate, weaponize, and lose legitimacy, owning something outside of that imperial fiat orbit is not just smart — it’s necessary.

He writes: “The dollar became the empire’s tribute system… The empire seeks control everywhere because it is losing legitimacy everywhere.”

We take that seriously. 

In our MoneyQuake framework, central bank buying increases, supply stress rises, geopolitical cracks widen, and traditional currencies face structural risk. But the rails of value are shifting. Tokenization is no longer optional.

Why Now Matters — the Threshold Is Underway

There’s a reason we call it MoneyQuake 2025. Because we believe this is the inflection window. The tokenized gold numbers themselves prove the shift is under way: “Tokenized gold supply triples to $3.5 billion in 2025,” says the report.

To put that in context: This is early. The traditional gold market is measured in trillions of dollars. The tokenized portion is tiny relative to that. But the growth rate is triple. Accelerating. And once network effects take hold in digital asset rails, the growth could become exponential.

The Coinotag piece also notes institutional demand is driving this, not volatility-chasing retail. “Steady accumulation rather than volatile spikes.”  That tells you this is strategic capital. They are positioning ahead of the curve.

And we at Wealth Daily want to be on the right side of that move. NatGold is our link into it, our token of choice to ride this wave.

How NatGold Fits Into Our Investment Strategy

Let’s get tactical for a moment. In our portfolio, we have physical asset exposures (gold, silver, miners) and we have thematic plays (geothermal, water, ESG). NatGold sits at the intersection of physical, digital, and monetary infrastructure. It’s the glue that binds golden realism with crypto innovation.

Here are the key pillars:

  1. Physical Anchor — NatGold isn’t purely speculative. It’s backed by in-ground gold reserves, non-dilutive, token-minting rights aligned with scarcity. This gives the gold narrative weight (pun intended) and tangibility.

  2. Digital Infrastructure — The tokenization of gold is happening now, as the $3.5 billion figure proves. NatGold is built for this era. This means we’re not just late in crypto; we’re early in tokenized gold rails.

  3. Monetary Reformation Fit — The collapse of the fiat order, the push toward alternative settlements, the fracturing of the dollar-empire system — that’s the macro narrative. NatGold is a play on that narrative. It’s positioned as a “path toward a sustainable post-fiat world.”

  4. Portfolio Diversifier — In a multi-asset strategy like ours, where we hold mining stocks, technology, ESG funds, water, etc., NatGold offers a unique risk-return vector: the upside of digital gold rails plus the downside hedge of physical gold.

  5. Structural Timing — Because the tokenization empire hasn’t yet peaked. The rails are still being laid, adoption still small relative to traditional assets, but momentum accelerating. That gives us asymmetric reward potential.

What Success Looks Like

Picture it with me: It's five years from now. The tokenized gold market is no longer $3.5 billion. It’s tens or hundreds of billions. Institutions are using tokenized gold as collateral, for settlement, and for cross-border capital flows. 

The fiat system is under increasing strain, with higher debt, weaker currencies, fragmented trade blocs. Alternative rails are gaining legitimacy.

In that scenario, NatGold isn’t just a token among tokens. It’s a foundation piece in a new value settlement architecture. And because we positioned early, we scale our gain.

And if the fiat system stutters — inflation surprises, central banks lose credibility, gold supply tightens — our anchor gets stronger. The worst case for fiat is the best case for NatGold.

Revisiting Our NatGold Thesis

Let’s restate:

  • Gold’s physical fundamentals (supply constraints, rising costs, central bank demand) remain intact.

  • The monetary system (fiat-based, debt-laden, experiencing currency wars) is cracking.

  • The rail for value transfer is shifting: Tokenization is real and growing.

  • NatGold sits at the confluence, bridging gold + digital rails + monetary reformation.

  • Therefore, NatGold is not a speculative “just another token” — it is a strategic position in our MoneyQuake portfolio.

  • As the Coinotag number shows ($3.5 billion tokenized gold already) and as Wile’s editorial underscores (the empire of paper is decaying) — the timing is live.

Bringing It Home: The Road to Our “Pebble Creek” Moment

In the same way that in Pebble Creek we walked rock benches, peered into crevices, and considered where the water might flow, we now must walk the digital/physical frontier. NatGold is the bedrock. The ledger is the stream. Value is flowing.

Think of the gravel road, the rising dust, the hidden deposit beneath the surface. In our story, the deposit is not just physical — it’s also digital. The rails may be unseen, but they are real, they are moving, and they are building.

And we are sitting at the vehicle, in the driver’s seat, engine idling, ready to move when the switch flips. The switch is flipping. The tokenized gold number is proof. The empire-of-paper analysis is proof. The structural shift is underway.

Final Word

Here is what I want you to take away…

We are not chasing gold because of volatility. We are not chasing crypto because of hype. We are anchoring in a strategic moment: gold + tokenization + monetary reformation. NatGold is our implant into that moment.

When the rails change, those who got positioned early will tilt the outcome in their favor. The mainstream will be late to recognize the change; we will already be entrenched.

So when someone asks, “Why NatGold?” we answer: Because gold matters. Because tokenization matters. Because the fiat rails are cracking. Because the rails that replace them will carry value differently. Because in that new system, we want to own a foundational piece.

Because this is MoneyQuake 2025. And this is our road to the deposit. And at the end of that road? A world in which value isn’t just held — it’s moved, it’s upgraded, it’s re-settled, and it’s liberated from the old empire.
