Resulting ION.au assets will be deployed into large-scale tokenization and stablecoin programs across I-ON’s expanding open-finance network, underscoring accelerating institutional demand for its regulated, gold-backed digital asset platform.
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS / ACCESS Newswire / December 4, 2025 / I-ON Digital Corp. (OTCQB:IONI), a leading U.S. real-world-asset (RWA) infrastructure company specializing in regulated digital asset banking, tokenization, and gold-backed instruments, today announced it has secured multiple asset-deployment commitments totaling more than $200 million in in-situ gold reserves. These commitments advance I-ON‘s tokenization, treasury management, and advanced liquidity-deployment strategies across its expanding RWA-based ecosystem.
This substantial inflow-aggregated through a growing network of institutional reserve holders – will be digitized and managed through I-ON‘s regulated Treasury and Digital Asset Platform (DAP), then deployed across the Company’s expanding liquidity network. This includes RAAC.io (Regnum Aurum Acquisition Corp.) and GoldfishGold.com, two rapidly scaling distribution gateways for RWAs, gold-backed digital assets, asset-collateralized stablecoins, and Open-Finance lending instruments. Together, these channels create a scalable pipeline for converting in-situ gold reserves into compliant, yield-generating digital financial products.
A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR REGULATED GOLD-BACKED DIGITAL ASSETS
The onboarding of $200 million in ION.au gold-backed digital asset deployment agreements – including both closely held ION.au and ION.au under management – represents one of the largest single tranches of in-situ gold commitments to enter a U.S.-regulated tokenization framework in 2025, positioning I-ON at the forefront of institutional-grade digital asset conversion.
The operational deployments are expected to transform, through material balance sheet and AUM growth, I-ON‘s suite of digitized financial instruments – including gold-backed tokens, stable-value structures, treasury-grade securities, and liquidity-pool assets – while remaining I-ON‘s legacy of deploying fully auditable, verifiable, and compliant digital assets within the Company’s regulated digital banking architecture.
“This is a watershed moment not only for I-ON, but for the broader RWA tokenization market,” said Carlos X. Montoya, Chairman & CEO of I-ON Digital. “The addition of $200 million in tokenized gold – driven by real institutional demand – validates the trust being placed in our model, our compliance infrastructure, and our partner ecosystem. It solidifies I-ON as one of the most credible and scaled gold-digitization platforms in the U.S.”
POWERED BY A GROWING LIQUIDITY AND DISTRIBUTION ECOSYSTEM
Through RAAC.io, ION.au becomes programmable collateral that can be deployed across multiple products and venues, including:
– Instant settlement and collateralization in trading, lending, and payments
– Real-time proof-of-reserve visibility and 24/7 auditability
– Liquidity pools and hedged index baskets
– Tokenized capital markets products and yield-structured vehicles
Through GoldfishGold.com, ION.au reaches retail and institutional buyers via:
– Tokenized gold at market-leading spreads
– Integrated buy/sell networks
– Multi-asset vaulting and redemption programs
– Consumer-facing trading routes for I-ON-backed digital gold instruments
Together, these distribution points materially expand market access for I-ON‘s digitized gold products, enabling efficient deployment into trading markets, structured pools, and alternative liquidity channels.
ACCELERATING TOWARD NATIONAL EXCHANGE UPLISTING TARGETS
As recently announced, in conjunction with a I-ON Digital – Craft Capital Management NASDAQ up-listing engagement, this multi-faceted asset deployment arrives as I-ON continues to strengthen its capital markets readiness ahead of its planned 2026 national exchange uplisting, supported by recent:
– Digital asset banking advancements
– New tokenization partnerships
– Strategic engagements with capital advisors
– Expanded RWA infrastructure and institutional onboarding
“The momentum across our ecosystem is unmistakable,” said Ken Park, Director & Chief Marketing Officer of I-ON Digital. “Our partners at RAAC.io and GoldfishGold.com continue to amplify market reach and accelerate capital inflows. This milestone reinforces the growing institutional appetite for regulated, high-integrity tokenized gold-and the unique position I-ON holds in delivering it.”
