VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) announced on 2025‑10‑23 that its subsidiary Smart Bridge Technologies Limited is preparing to launch an Ethereum‑based crypto‑fiat platform that integrates digital assets, gold, and traditional finance within a unified and regulated ecosystem. The platform, slated for an official launch in the second quarter of 2026, will allow institutional and retail investors to access tokenized assets through a single, compliant interface.
The Smart Bridge platform is powered by XVIQ, the subsidiary’s native utility token, which facilitates seamless transactions across cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, and real‑world assets. At its core is Bridge Gold (BGD), a tokenized representation of investment‑grade gold with 99.99 % purity, each token backed by a verifiable physical gold reserve stored in regulated vaults in Singapore and Switzerland.
By merging decentralized technology with regulated financial gateways, Smart Bridge aims to bridge liquidity between traditional and on‑chain economies. The move comes as the global crypto‑exchange market is projected to exceed US$260 billion by 2032, while the tokenized real‑world asset market has surpassed US$24 billion, reflecting a 380 % increase since 2022. The platform positions VCI Global to capture a share of this expanding market and to offer a new, secure asset‑backed product line.
For VCI Global, the launch expands its portfolio of blockchain‑enabled financial solutions, complementing its existing AI and cybersecurity platforms. The new product introduces a potential revenue stream from platform fees, token transactions, and asset‑backed services, aligning with the company’s mission to build cross‑sector technology platforms that deliver resilience, efficiency, and long‑term value.
