Which describes you?

Individual & Family 🏦

I own gold.
I want it to pay me.

You've stored gold for years — at a dealer, in a home safe, or at a vault. It has been costing you fees and earning you nothing. LGCE changes the economics without changing your relationship with your metal.

  • Physical delivery to the Texas Bullion Depository — state-backed, Class III vault
  • Variable yield paid in RLUSD monthly — take it, convert to more gold, or compound
  • Hold your certificate in Fortress Phantom — crypto, metals, and yield in one wallet
  • No lock-up. No penalties. Leave whenever you want.
  • Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium all accepted

Institutional & Sovereign 🏛️

We hold gold.
It earns nothing.

Your gold is at an existing facility — Brinks, Delaware Depository, HSBC, the Bank of England. You have reasons to keep it there. LGCE does not ask you to move it. We put a yield layer on top.

  • Paper custody — your gold stays at your existing facility, anywhere in the world
  • LGCE independently verifies and registers your holding on XRPL
  • Variable yield activates without disrupting your existing custodian relationship
  • Board, legal, and regulatory requirements unaffected — zero operational change
  • Designed for family offices, sovereigns, treasury teams, and pension allocators

The Product

Store. Earn. Grow.

Three things happen simultaneously from day one. None of them require your gold to move.

01 —
🛡️

Store

Physical gold held at the Texas Bullion Depository — operated by Lone Star Tangible Assets under Texas Comptroller authority. State-backed, Class III vault, Lloyd's of London insured, quarterly audited. Or keep your gold at your existing facility via paper custody certificate.

LGCE operates a yield engine on its own capital via the XRP Ledger. Yield is generated in RLUSD — Ripple's regulated, NY DFS-approved stablecoin. A variable share is distributed to your account monthly. Your gold is never deployed. The yield is external to the metal.

Grow

Choose your payout: receive RLUSD directly, convert yield to more gold added to your allocated account, or leave it compounding in LGCE's managed pool. Your gold earning more gold — allocated, not a token — has never existed as a product until now.

Fortress Ecosystem Connection

HODL is the coin.
LGCE is the rail.

HODL Coin is a physical precious metal with an embedded NFC wallet. Every coin holds three independent layers of value: the metal itself, the hardware wallet, and whatever crypto the owner loads. LGCE is the exchange and yield rail that makes HODL's metal layer work harder.

HODL coin holders can route into LGCE for yield without selling their physical metal. Phantom wallet connects both products in a single interface — metal, crypto, and yield all in one place.

"Your gold earned more gold." — actual allocated metal added to your account. Not a token. Not a certificate. The thing itself.

The Stack

Backed by Texas.
Powered by XRPL.

Every component of LGCE is built on existing institutional infrastructure. We assembled what already works.

🏛️
Texas Bullion Depository
Operated by Lone Star Tangible Assets under Texas Comptroller authority. The only state-administered precious metals depository in the United States. Class III vault. Armed security. Quarterly audited.
Primary custodian
🔒
Lloyd's of London
Full replacement value insurance on all physically held metals. Marked to market daily at LBMA reference price. The same insurance standard used by the world's largest gold holders.
Insurance coverage
XRP Ledger + RLUSD
Custody certificates and yield distributions settle on XRPL — protocol-level infrastructure operating since 2012. RLUSD is Ripple's regulated, NY DFS-approved stablecoin. Not algorithmic. Native to the ledger.

Fortress Ecosystem
Fortress Phantom wallet holds LGCE certificates and RLUSD yield natively alongside crypto. Fortress Vault provides the highest-grade self-custody for your private keys. One interface for metal, crypto, and yield.
The honest comparison

Why does this
change anything?

DimensionStandard vault storageLGCE
Annual cost−0.15 to −0.40%/yr storage fee✓ Net positive — we pay you

Storage elsewhere costs you $400/yr per $100,000 in gold. LGCE targets paying you $2,000–$4,000/yr on the same position. Same security. Completely different economics.

APY is variable and not guaranteed. Platform in development. Coming 2026.

How the yield works

The gold sits still.
The yield engine moves.

Your gold is allocated and untouched in custody. Separately, LGCE operates a yield engine on its own capital via the XRP Ledger. The yield comes from those positions. Your metal is never involved — not once, not ever. LGCE keeps a spread. You receive the rest as variable APY in RLUSD.

🛡️
Your gold cannot be lost
Physical metal is held at the Texas Bullion Depository — state-backed, Class III vault, insured by Lloyd's of London at full replacement value. It does not move. It does not change hands. It does not disappear.
Structural guarantee
🔒
Your gold is never at risk from yield
The yield engine and the gold custody are held by two separate legal entities. There is no legal pathway between them — not even in a worst-case scenario. If the yield engine has a bad month, your gold is untouched. Structurally. Not by policy.
Entity separation
⚖️
Always overcollateralized
LGCE maintains physical gold coverage above all outstanding obligations at all times. This is a structural operating requirement — not a promise. More gold in custody than the platform owes. Always.
Platform requirement
📋
Quarterly audited. On-chain verified.
Independent quarterly audits of all physically held metal. Every client holding represented by an XRPL custody certificate — immutable, auditable, provable on-chain. You can verify your gold exists without calling anyone.
Independently verified
APY is variable. Past yield rates do not guarantee future returns.
RLUSD yield is not generated by or secured by client gold.
Client gold is held in a structurally separate entity from yield operations.
Platform in development. Not yet open to the public.
01
You deposit gold
Physical delivery to TxBD or paper custody certificate registered from any existing facility. XRPL custody certificate issued. Yield activates within 30 days of verification.
02
LGCE deploys its own capital
LGCE's yield engine operates entirely separately from your custody. Your gold is never involved. Never deployed. The yield is external to the metal — always.
03
Yield generated in RLUSD on XRPL
The XRP Ledger's native AMM infrastructure generates yield in RLUSD. Ripple's regulated, NY DFS-approved stablecoin. Not algorithmic. Not bridged. Native to the ledger since 2012.
04
Your share distributed monthly
Variable APY distributed via the Fortress Settlement Protocol on XRPL. Take RLUSD, convert to more gold added to your allocated account, or compound in LGCE's managed pool. Your choice — set at onboarding, changeable anytime.
