How the business was designed to solve the needs of the target market?
Security, stability, timeless, borderless, non-political, physical, valuable, measurable, globally accepted. These are the words that had to be included in describing, defining and designing our product.
Our motto is ‘From the mine to the vault and in the cloud’, we manage and operate physical gold production, sourcing, beneficiating, exporting, refining, stamping and vaulting of gold. We integrate technology into our physical supply chain to record and monitor the journey of our gold from the mine to the cloud. We also commit to providing full environmental and social governance throughout the value chain. We offer compliant asset-backed digital products that can be redeemed in the physical form.
We are the only truly vertically integrated token operation in the world.
Operations
The IPMB Ecosystem is at the heart of the IPM Group, a group of companies, spanning 3 continents and 5 countries.
IPMB started life with physical precious metals beneficiation and distribution. A specialist in the physical world of precious metals, it grew to the point where it had to adapt its product to make it more accessible to the world.
From here, the tokenization of its products was the only answer.
Our CEO John Vakis, together with Co-Founders Mihai Albu and Scott Pagel, COO George Agathangelou and Global Gold Product Specialist, Marcus Grubb created the IPMB Ecosystem and set out to launch our digital tokens.
A critical aspect of IPM’s business model is its commitment to responsible sourcing and transparency throughout its supply chain. This commitment is demonstrated in various ways:
01
Strategic Long-Term Sourcing Contracts
IPM has established long-term contracts with carefully selected gold mines. These contracts not only ensure a stable and secure supply of doré gold but also allow IPM to maintain a comprehensive understanding of the labor and environmental practices at these mining locations. This approach is fundamental to IPM’s commitment to responsible sourcing.
02
Vertical Integration
The main differentiating factor between IPMB and our competitors in both the crypto space and traditional gold market, is that IPMB vertically integrates the entire gold value chain. IPM works with mines but also operates a number of its own mines. Along with owning mines, IPMB is also in the process of building its own refinery, smelters and vault. This means we manage the entire supply chain, allowing us to acquire gold at a lower cost than our competitors. This enables us to waive all fees for our token holders subsequently offering the lowest cost for gold acquisition available in the market.
03
Choice of Refineries
The company places a high emphasis on the selection of refineries. Refineries are chosen based on their industrial efficiency and compliance with specific environmental criteria. This meticulous selection process spans several continents, reflecting IPM’s global reach and its dedication to environmental standards.
04
Experienced Management Team
The management team at IPM brings extensive experience in traditional finance and the precious metals industry. This expertise is crucial for ensuring that the entire value chain, from the sourcing of gold doré to the delivery of refined gold bars, is managed professionally, seamlessly and securely. The team’s experience and track record are key components in maintaining the high standards of operation and product quality that characterise IPM.
