MRHB and Gold & Silver Standard (GSS) Partner to Expand Halal DeFi Offerings with Tokenized Precious Metals

MRHB.Network, a halal decentralized finance ecosystem, partners Ainslie Wealth’s Gold & Silver Standard (GSS), a leading Australian bullion trader since 1974, and will be listing the GSS gold standard ($AUS) and silver standard ($AGS) tokens in MRHB‘s Sahal wallet.

The partnership with Gold & Silver Standard will provide to MRHB’s ethical community a new halal offering – gold & silver tokens with $AUD and $AGS to $USDC/USDT pairings made available on TijarX, the upcoming commodities DEX integrated in MRHB’s Sahal Wallet, which will be launched in late September.

“MRHB is very proud to be partnering with Gold & Silver Standard from Ainslie Wealth,” says MRHB CEO Naquib Mohammed. “Gold and silver bullion-backed stablecoins will be a great addition to our DeFi offerings. In these times of ‘crypto winter’ and global recession, when people are finding ways to protect their wealth from volatile markets and inflation, gold and silver are supposedly the safest hedge against the situation, and have been a stable form of storing wealth since 1500 BC.”

Naquib adds, “We are more than confident that the partnership will be welcomed by our investors and ethics concerned community, as the volatility of the crypto market is one of the main reasons keeping potential new entrants out of the ecosystem. Due to the benefits of tokenization and borderless trade possible on the TijarX DEX, investors will be able to buy the cheapest gold and silver in the world, even in small amounts.”

For Ainslie Wealth, parent company of Australia-based bullion dealer Ainslie Bullion, this means that their gold and silver bullion-backed tokens will now be made much more easily accessible to not only the Islamic Finance investment community but the wider crypto and Web3 community.

“We are excited to bring our gold and silver standard stablecoins to previously excluded communities through our partnership with MRHB DeFi,” comments Paul Engeman, Director of Gold & Silver Standard, Brisbane, Australia. “We are confident that Ainslie Wealth’s Australia-based vault provides one of the safest places in the world to store bullion and safeguard token value. Bullion-backed cryptocurrency has been growing in popularity worldwide, and we look forward to cementing our goal of being the #goldsilverstandard of the metaverse.”

Stablecoins are known to be secure investments against the generally volatile backdrop of the cryptocurrency markets. A research report by the Social Science Research Network found gold-backed stablecoins to be less volatile than Bitcoin. Indeed, data from Arcane Research shows that gold-backed tokens have seen massive growth in 2022 with a market cap that has surpassed USD1 Billion.

The gold and silver standard tokens will be made available in AUS-USDC/USDT and AGS-USDC/USDT pairings, allowing all MRHB users to safely make gold and silver investments using US dollar-backed stablecoins. Each AUS and AGS token is linked to exactly one gram of gold or silver bullion, present physically in the Ainslie Vaults of Melbourne and Brisbane, and audited quarterly by Australia’s leading auditing firm.

In early September this year, the MRHB Team visited the HQ of Ainslie in Brisbane to personally ensure the technical and physical infrastructure of GSS.

“Gold and Silver Standard outperforms its competitors, making it the ideal choice for investing in real gold and silver. They are fully redeemable for metal, independently audited, fully allocated with direct legal ownership, available to trade 24/7 and brought to you by a nearly 50-year-old bullion dealer, independent of government and financial institutions and domiciled in geopolitically safe Australia,” said Engeman.

As part of the partnership, MRHB and GSS will be creating multiple Gold & Silver backed crypto offerings in a 3-year roadmap.

Aimed at onboarding the USD 3 trillion Islamic Finance sector into cryptocurrency investing, MRHB DeFi’s Sahal Wallet ensures that all listed tokens in the wallet are halal, and needs to have gone through a rigorous screening process.

About MRHB.Network

MRHB.Network is a halal, decentralised finance platform built to embody the true spirit of an “Ethical and Inclusive DeFi” by following faith-based financial and business principles, where all excluded communities can benefit from the full empowerment potential of DeFi.

The diverse team comprises researchers, technocrats, influencers, Islamic fintech experts & business entrepreneurs, who came together to ensure that MRHB DeFi prevails in a manner that will impact society as a whole, essentially bridging the gap between the faith-conscious communities and the blockchain world.

About Ainslie Wealth

Ainslie Wealth, parent company of Ainslie Bullion, is Australia’s oldest bullion company. Founded in 1974, Ainslie Wealth has since grown to become the nation’s leading bullion trader. In 2019, they launched their gold standard and silver standard cryptocurrency tokens, allowing investors to purchase gold and silver bullion-backed tokens 24/7 with the confidence of knowing their investments are safely locked up in a secure vault run by an established dealer in a geopolitically safe country.

Crypto Oasis Hosts 3 pivotal Web3-related Sessions at the Inaugural Dubai Metaverse Assembly

The inaugural Dubai Metaverse Assembly first announced by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai and organised by the Dubai Future Foundation, took place on September 28 and 29. The Crypto Oasis, the fastest growing blockchain and Web3 ecosystem in the world, hosted the three sessions at the event that brought together regional and international experts in Dubai to shape the future of the metaverse.

The first session featured Meta Decrypt discussing “Design Thinking – Digital Economy in the Metaverse”. This was an enriching and engaging talk about creating a more participatory economy and also discussed a broad range of metaverse use cases from strategy through execution. It is expected that a fully realised metaverse won’t just be a part of the digital economy, but its own quasi-independent economy that may end up reweaving the fabric of the digital world.

The second session was a panel discussion on Venture Capital in the Metaverse. The participants included:

– Valerie Hawley – True Global Ventures
– Jawad Ashraf – Virtua
– Domenik Maier _ iBLOXX
– Saqr Ereiqat – Crypto Oasis

The metaverse is a venture capitalist’s dream. The metaverse represents a real opportunity for cutting-edge innovation and significant startup returns. VCs around the world acknowledge that it has the potential to be a multi-trillion dollar market. With advances made in bandwidth, chips, software, and new (hardware) platforms, metaverse adoption is expected to rise, which is why there is an abundance of capital in this space.

The final session was a thought leadership talk by Crypto Oasis Co-Founder Saqr Ereiqat titled “Web2 is Silicon Valley, Web3 is Crypto Oasis”.

Speaking about the event and the Crypto Oasis sessions, Ereiqat said, “The Dubai Metaverse Assembly is another step towards the United Arab Emirates being the leading digital economy. The ‘Digital Economy Strategy’ aims to double the contribution of the digital economy to the UAE’s gross domestic product (GDP) from 9.7 percent as of April 2022 to 20 percent by 2031. It also seeks to enhance the position of the UAE as a hub for the digital economy in the region and globally as we are already witnessing and supporting an influx of intellectual resources into the UAE.

“We believe an ecosystem consists of Talent, Capital, and Infrastructure, with the UAE bringing those three together. We have therefore coined the MENA region as Crypto Oasis. At the Dubai Metaverse Assembly, we proudly hosted three sessions to educate, inspire, and contribute. Today, the Crypto Oasis, with the UAE at the heart of it, is pushing the frontier in the Web 3 space. While Web 2 was primarily based out of Silicon Valley, events like the Dubai Metaverse Assembly and others will ensure that Web 3 is the Crypto Oasis.”

The metaverse assembly cements Dubai’s position as the world’s metaverse capital as it looks to leverage Dubai’s digital infrastructure and support global transformations and disruptions. The flagship event explores the digital economy and identifies opportunities to help startups, entrepreneurs, communities, investors, and governments unlock the unlimited potential of the metaverse to create a bolder future. The Crypto Oasis is delighted to be part of this first of its kind event that sees the world’s leading metaverse experts converge in Dubai.

About Crypto Oasis

The Crypto Oasis is a Middle East-focused blockchain ecosystem supported by initiators of the Crypto Valley Switzerland. The core elements needed for its development are Talent, Capital, and Infrastructure.

One quickly goes to an NFT marketplace to buy an Amber Lounge membership!”

Crypto-savvy clients will be pleased to know that the Amber Lounge NFTs work with standard Web3 wallets. Designed with a user-friendly interface and features, Web2 account login with Google and Facebook, and credit card payment will make the NFTs accessible for everyone.

Irene Zhao, co-founder of SO-COL, generated S$7.5 million of NFT sales of her own photos in 10 days earlier this year. She commented, “We are very honoured to partner with Amber Lounge. We hope to bring our NFT experience to one of the best known party brands in the world.”
