MRHB and Gold & Silver Standard (GSS) Partner to Expand Halal DeFi Offerings with Tokenized Precious Metals

MELBOURNE, Oct 5, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – MRHB.Network, a halal decentralized finance ecosystem, partners Ainslie Wealth’s Gold & Silver Standard (GSS), a leading Australian bullion trader since 1974, and will be listing the GSS gold standard ($AUS) and silver standard ($AGS) tokens in MRHB’s Sahal wallet.

The partnership with Gold & Silver Standard will provide to MRHB’s ethical community a new halal offering – gold & silver tokens with $AUD and $AGS to $USDC/USDT pairings made available on TijarX, the upcoming commodities DEX integrated in MRHB’s Sahal Wallet, which will be launched in late September.

“MRHB is very proud to be partnering with Gold & Silver Standard from Ainslie Wealth,” says MRHB CEO Naquib Mohammed. “Gold and silver bullion-backed stablecoins will be a great addition to our DeFi offerings. In these times of ‘crypto winter’ and global recession, when people are finding ways to protect their wealth from volatile markets and inflation, gold and silver are supposedly the safest hedge against the situation, and have been a stable form of storing wealth since 1500 BC.”

Naquib adds, “We are more than confident that the partnership will be welcomed by our investors and ethics concerned community, as the volatility of the crypto market is one of the main reasons keeping potential new entrants out of the ecosystem. Due to the benefits of tokenization and borderless trade possible on the TijarX DEX, investors will be able to buy the cheapest gold and silver in the world, even in small amounts.”

For Ainslie Wealth, parent company of Australia-based bullion dealer Ainslie Bullion, this means that their gold and silver bullion-backed tokens will now be made much more easily accessible to not only the Islamic Finance investment community but the wider crypto and Web3 community.

“We are excited to bring our gold and silver standard stablecoins to previously excluded communities through our partnership with MRHB DeFi,” comments Paul Engeman, Director of Gold & Silver Standard, Brisbane, Australia. “We are confident that Ainslie Wealth’s Australia-based vault provides one of the safest places in the world to store bullion and safeguard token value. Bullion-backed cryptocurrency has been growing in popularity worldwide, and we look forward to cementing our goal of being the #goldsilverstandard of the metaverse.”

Stablecoins are known to be secure investments against the generally volatile backdrop of the cryptocurrency markets. A research report by the Social Science Research Network found gold-backed stablecoins to be less volatile than Bitcoin. Indeed, data from Arcane Research shows that gold-backed tokens have seen massive growth in 2022 with a market cap that has surpassed USD1 Billion.

The gold and silver standard tokens will be made available in AUS-USDC/USDT and AGS-USDC/USDT pairings, allowing all MRHB users to safely make gold and silver investments using US dollar-backed stablecoins. Each AUS and AGS token is linked to exactly one gram of gold or silver bullion, present physically in the Ainslie Vaults of Melbourne and Brisbane, and audited quarterly by Australia’s leading auditing firm.

In early September this year, the MRHB Team visited the HQ of Ainslie in Brisbane to personally ensure the technical and physical infrastructure of GSS.

“Gold and Silver Standard outperforms its competitors, making it the ideal choice for investing in real gold and silver. They are fully redeemable for metal, independently audited, fully allocated with direct legal ownership, available to trade 24/7 and brought to you by a nearly 50-year-old bullion dealer, independent of government and financial institutions and domiciled in geopolitically safe Australia,” said Engeman.

As part of the partnership, MRHB and GSS will be creating multiple Gold & Silver backed crypto offerings in a 3-year roadmap.

Aimed at onboarding the USD 3 trillion Islamic Finance sector into cryptocurrency investing, MRHB DeFi’s Sahal Wallet ensures that all listed tokens in the wallet are halal, and needs to have gone through a rigorous screening process.

About MRHB.Network

MRHB.Network is a halal, decentralised finance platform built to embody the true spirit of an “Ethical and Inclusive DeFi” by following faith-based financial and business principles, where all excluded communities can benefit from the full empowerment potential of DeFi.

The diverse team comprises researchers, technocrats, influencers, Islamic fintech experts & business entrepreneurs, who came together to ensure that MRHB DeFi prevails in a manner that will impact society as a whole, essentially bridging the gap between the faith-conscious communities and the blockchain world.

About Ainslie Wealth

Ainslie Wealth, parent company of Ainslie Bullion, is Australia’s oldest bullion company. Founded in 1974, Ainslie Wealth has since grown to become the nation’s leading bullion trader. In 2019, they launched their gold standard and silver standard cryptocurrency tokens, allowing investors to purchase gold and silver bullion-backed tokens 24/7 with the confidence of knowing their investments are safely locked up in a secure vault run by an established dealer in a geopolitically safe country.

Liti Capital: The Hidden Gem of Digital Assets is Hidden No More

GENEVE, CH, Aug 31, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Liti Capital SA, the Swiss-based Litigation Funding specialist pioneering a new business model through the tokenization of its equity, has today provided a performance update following its recent announcement to pivot its focus away from its wLITI ('wrapped' LITI) token.

On 1 July 2022, Liti Capital notified its token holders that it would be pivoting its focus away from its wLITI token, and instead placing its efforts entirely on LITI, its highly acclaimed equity token (also referred to as a 'security token').

The announcement means that all LITI token holders are now unable to wrap and convert their LITI into wLITI tokens (the deadline for such conversions was 20 July 2022).

The reverse conversion however, (that is, converting wLITI to LITI), remains unaffected, subject to the holder passing the KYC process that buying LITI entails.

The Company Board's strategic decision to be 'all things LITI' acknowledges that the LITI token is the company's 'hidden gem' – yes, that it is the LITI token empowering opportunities and benefits that far surpass those of any other digital asset.

Liti Capital's unique business model, which provides LITI holders with sizable payouts when assets are realized, is what most excites token holders who grasp the notion of Litigation Funding and who appreciate Liti Capital's unique and disruptive approach within the sector.

In fact, Liti Capital's unique business model has been instrumental in determining the action that has been taken by the majority of wLITI holders following the company's 'pivot' announcement–"A large proportion of wLITI holders have converted their token over to LITI. The current circulating supply of wLITI now represents less than 20%; a huge decrease from two weeks ago when it represented 85%."

This voluntary behavior among Liti Capital token holders demonstrates that they truly understand and appreciate the real value and opportunity of LITI – and of Liti Capital itself.

What's more is that the overwhelming conversion from the wrapped token to the equity token was made before token holders were informed that Liti Capital has made significant progress in listing its LITI token on Taurus, one of the world's leading digital asset platforms.

The listing of LITI on Taurus Auction will be at a price that accurately corresponds to the company's true valuation. Of course, the development of liquidity options will take a little time, but will provide far more appealing solutions than before.

Speaking of the recent 'pivot' and the positive reception it has received from current token holders, Andy Christen, Co-founder and CEO of Liti Capital, comments:

"The executive team took time to reflect deeply on Liti Capital's first year of existence. We considered and evaluated what has worked well and what needed adjusting. Having the opportunity to list one of the first equity-backed tokens in history is a crucial milestone in the company's development and success."

"Our new focus aims to reduce the selling pressure on wLITI, to remove wLITI tokens from the circulating supply, and to increase the price of wLITI whilst reducing the discrepancy in price between LITI and wLITI.

"We have learned a lot by issuing a tradable 'stock option' in the form of wLITI. Indeed, it has proved that liquidity can be attractive in the Litigation Funding space – yes, we were able to achieve an average of $18M USD in monthly trading volume."

There are other facets of Liti Capital and LITI that compelled wLITI holders to convert to LITI without question.

First, LITI token's underlying asset class is that of Litigation Funding.

Indeed, Litigation Funding consistently outperforms all other asset classes in terms of returns – asset classes including gold, stocks & shares, real estate, and Bitcoin. Also, Litigation Funding has an overall low-to-zero correlation to external financial markets, and is considered countercyclical to them, meaning that the industry often performs better in economic downturns.

Take COVID-19, for instance. According to The Financial Times, the pandemic could potentially provoke an unprecedented rise in claims that are anticipated to linger far beyond 2022.

Of course, Litigation Funding in its own right – as a high-performing and low-risk asset class – is one appealing aspect that investors take into consideration. The second aspect, with an equally important role to play, is underlined by the ability of a Litigation Funding company to operate efficiently, to pioneer, and to deliver outstanding performance in all facets of its business.

And here, once again, Liti Capital ticks all the right boxes.

For example, one of the most important elements to running a successful Litigation Funding company lies in its ability to source and select 'investable' legal cases.

In this area, Liti Capital's ability is, arguably, completely unrivaled by all other Litigation Funding companies.

Liti Capital places significant attention on its portfolio construction and diversification. Through a mixture of human intervention and proprietary AI (artificial intelligence), the company has built an enviable pipeline of legal cases with a total winnable value in excess of $15 billion, spanning several sectors and diverse legal matters. This is, of course, on top of the four cases it has already invested in.
