With a background in the gold industry spanning over a century, and extensive experience in startups and investment banking, Usman and his team are well-equipped to reshape how gold is viewed and utilized globally.
Usman introduces Oro with the mission to make gold accessible, liquid, and yield-bearing through their dual-asset structure: a standard gold-backed token and a staked version offering 3-4% yield. Oro doesn't stop at tokenization; it aims to build a comprehensive digital gold infrastructure. This involves creating an access engine for digital gold products and enabling tokenization of physical gold, thus addressing longstanding barriers like market access and lack of credit.
By spotlighting agreements with major exchanges and plans for DeFi integrations, Usman emphasizes Oro's B2B focus as the linchpin of their strategy, offering robust pathways for digital gold transactions. Discover how Oro plans to monetize this breakthrough approach through tokenization margins, transaction fees, and yield products, presenting a compelling value proposition for both investors and fintech enterprises.
