Bhutan launches TER, a fully gold-backed token on Solana, as part of a wider strategy spanning tokenized assets, CBDC pilots, and Ethereum-based digital ID.​

Summary
  • Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City launches TER, a sovereign-backed token fully collateralized by physical gold and issued on Solana.​
  • DK Bank is exclusive distributor and Matrixdock provides tokenization infra, offering on-chain proof of reserves and instant settlement.​
  • TER expands Bhutan’s digital strategy alongside a Ripple CBDC pilot, Bitcoin reserves, and a national ID migration to Ethereum by 2026.

Bhutan has launched TER, a sovereign-backed digital token fully collateralized by physical gold reserves, marking the country’s latest move into blockchain technology, according to an announcement from the Special Administrative Region of Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC).

Bhutan and Solana deepen partnership

The token operates on the Solana (SOL) network and provides blockchain-based representation of gold holdings, offering domestic and international investors on-chain transparency and access to the asset class, the GMC stated.

The TER token is designed to replicate traditional gold ownership while utilizing Solana’s blockchain infrastructure. DK Bank serves as the exclusive distributor, while Matrixdock provides the tokenization infrastructure linking physical gold reserves to the digital token, according to the announcement.

The launch represents part of Bhutan’s broader digital asset strategy, which includes multiple blockchain initiatives. The Royal Monetary Authority previously partnered with Ripple to test a digital version of the ngultrum, the country’s national currency. Bhutan has also accumulated Bitcoin holdings as part of its strategic reserves, according to previous reports.

The country is currently migrating its National Digital Identity platform to the Ethereum blockchain, with completion expected by early 2026, according to government statements.

The token aims to provide instant settlement, global portability, transparent collateral verification, and integration with digital wallets, according to the GMC. The initiative combines gold as a store of value with blockchain infrastructure to create a government-backed tokenized asset.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
