The IPMB Solution

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 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.

IPMB is pioneering the gold investment landscape with several industry-first initiatives:

First Vertically Integrated Gold Tokenization Project:

By managing the entire gold supply chain—from mining and refining to tokenization and vaulting—IPMB ensures unparalleled control and transparency.

First Project to Provide a Hedge Against Inflation and Fiat Currency Devaluation at the Smart Contract Level:

Through the staking of GoldPro Tokens (GPRO), investors can convert their tokens into GEM NFTs with the floor being the weight of GPRO tokens, each representing one gram of gold. This mechanism offers a built-in hedge against economic uncertainties.

First to Develop a Real-Time On-Chain Traceability Solution:

With Goldtrace360, IPMB anchors all supply chain information on-chain, updating NFT metadata in real-time to ensure transparency and traceability.

First to Transform Gold Investment into a Positive Carry Trade:

Traditional gold ownership incurs costs for verification, insurance, and storage. IPMB’s offering eliminates these expenses, making gold investment more cost-effective.

By integrating advanced technology with comprehensive supply chain management, IPMB is setting new standards in gold investment, providing innovative solutions for modern investors.

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:

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.

Vertical Integration:

The main differentiating factor between IPMB to our competitors in both the crypto space and traditional gold market, is that IPMB vertically integrates the entire gold value chain. IPMB 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.

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.

Experienced Management Team

The management team at IPM Ltd 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 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 IPM is known for.

IPMB’s Business Model

IPMB is leveraging its expertise in the production of gold to create a flywheel effect through its high-turnover trading business and fostering further innovation and participation within its blockchain ecosystem.

  • IPMB’s  gold trading operations generate a margin which allow for a competitive business model.

  • Trading profits are used to cover ecosystem costs (including gold insurance and storage), as well as digital developments and rewards.

  • Increased ecosystem participation, token adoption, and token issuance increase the amount of additional gold that can be sourced for future trading activities that can expand the ecosystem.

  • Retained profits are then re-invested into expanding IPMB’s physical value chain (acquiring refinery and additional mining sites) to capture additional margin.

  • Gold is allocated to newly issued tokens and is removed from the trading operations.
