VCIG Secures $200 Million Stablecoin Mandate Through Smart Bridge Subsidiary
VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) announced that its subsidiary Smart Bridge Technologies will lead a $200 million mandate for Bridge Gold stablecoin infrastructure. The project will focus on designing a fully gold-backed, audit-assured stablecoin built for institutional use. Smart Bridge will handle full development including compliance, custody systems, and settlement architecture.
Bridge Gold will offer digital representation of fully allocated physical gold reserves stored securely in Switzerland and Singapore. These reserves will undergo independent verification by a Big Four audit firm to ensure transparency and credibility. The infrastructure will support multi-currency settlement including USD, EUR, and SGD, allowing global reach.
The project is set to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and aligns with VCIG’s digital asset strategy. It will cover smart contract development, custody vault integration, and cross-border settlement rails. VCIG expects to complete institutional onboarding with treasury operations tied into the Bridge Gold ecosystem.
VCIG Positions Itself as a Leading Infrastructure Provider in RWA Market
With this mandate, VCIG expands its reach in the fast-growing real-world asset (RWA) market, excluding stablecoins, now worth over $24 billion. The market grew nearly fivefold over the past three years, creating strong demand for tokenized assets. VCIG aims to meet that demand by offering a secure, scalable gold-backed digital product.
Bridge Gold will address institutional needs for reliable, asset-backed digital instruments in treasury, payments, and cross-border settlements. VCIG will leverage its technical and regulatory strengths to deliver a compliant and trusted solution. Smart Bridge will execute this project using enterprise-grade tokenization frameworks and digital settlement systems.
VCIG expects recurring revenue streams from consulting, system deployment, custody, and audit services under the Bridge Gold ecosystem. The company sees this as a foundation for long-term earnings and global brand positioning. By bridging traditional finance and blockchain, VCIG strengthens its foothold in digital finance.
VCIG Builds Strategic Advantage in Stablecoin Infrastructure
VCIG’s latest move sets a strong precedent in institutional stablecoin development, focused on real assets with verifiable value. Unlike algorithmic models, Bridge Gold offers physical gold backing with regulatory-grade auditing and bank-grade custody. This model helps ensure trust and stability across financial networks.
Smart Bridge will implement security layers and regulatory controls in line with global financial standards for stablecoin products. VCIG will also establish compliance architecture tailored for treasury departments and financial institutions. Cross-currency support will help facilitate smooth adoption by multinational users.
By targeting institutional adoption, VCIG enhances its credibility in the digital asset space and secures a competitive edge. The company remains focused on building compliant, robust infrastructure to support asset-backed token growth. As Bridge Gold gains traction, VCIG expects to benefit from rising global interest in stable, asset-linked digital products.
