You can invest in gold with NFT.
본문
The era of investing in gold through irreplaceable tokens (NFTs) has opened. If the gold market rises, profits will be made not only in gold but also in NFT. On the 16th, Raon White Hat, a subsidiary of Raon Secure, a security company, and Korea Minting and Security Corporation announced that they will issue four new gold bars (1g, 10g, 37.5g, and 100g). It can be purchased at 'Omnie One NFT Marketplace', the first real-linked NFT market in Korea.
The price of the newly issued gold bar NFT changes twice a day (am and afternoon) depending on the gold market price. However, the gold bar 1g NFT product is a fixed market price. Due to the technical nature of NFT, forgery or alteration is impossible, so gold, an essential safe asset, can be safely owned. You can also exchange NFTs for gold at any time. For existing gold investment, it was necessary to create a gold-only account, but this NFT transaction does not require a separate account. When you sign up as a member at Omni1 NFT Marketplace, an NFT wallet is automatically formed.
Currently, the market price of 10g of gold bars on the Korea Gold Exchange is about 900,000 won, but 10g NFT products of gold bars are 890,000 won, which is about 10,000 won cheaper. Gold prices have risen 10-20% compared to the beginning of this year as gold, a safe asset, has emerged due to the global economic downturn, and if gold prices rise, NFT investment alone can earn capital gains. Capital gains tax based on capital gains is expected to be tax-free by applying the Korea Exchange (KRX) gold market. This is because the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation is the only authorized certification agency in the KRX gold market. Lee Jung-ah, CEO of Raon White Hat, said, "We also support a gift-giving function that allows gold NFT to be presented to other users. In the future, we will also add an NFT transaction function between individuals."
In that case, the NFT itself will be able to make a secondary transaction without changing the NFT into gold. Currently, there are 16 products related to four gold bars. The total quantity is about 440, and only "limited quantity" has been issued.
The reason why Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation joined hands with Raon White Hat is that it needed the technology of a security certification company for a safe NFT trading market. Another background of the collaboration is that Raon White Hat focused only on the real-life NFT market (utility NFT). The existing NFT market is mainly formed by NFT art, but it is not linked to the actual product, so there has been constant criticism that the price is "bubble." On the other hand, such concerns are relatively small because utility NFTs are linked to real prices (peggings related to legal currency).
