Blockchain infrastructure developer Offchain Labs has announced that gold tokenization infrastructure provider Arowana will launch a gold tokenization platform on the Arbitrum network in March 2026. Arowana is backed by Hancom Group, a South Korean technology and financial conglomerate.
The project will introduce the AGT token and Aqua platform, providing access to tokenized gold backed by physical reserves. Hancom Group operates the third largest gold exchange in South Korea, with a trading volume of $600 million. The new platform will focus on transparent issuance, compliance, and integration with decentralized finance tools on Arbitrum.
Users will be able to transfer and use digital gold within the Arbitrum ecosystem, including as collateral for DeFi applications. This infrastructure is designed to support fast transactions and low costs compared to traditional gold markets. Arowana also plans to introduce reserves verification tools, mobile access and storage partnerships.
