Metra’s gold
digital-finance business joins Nasdaq-listed ATIF to advance gold supply-chain
finance and global trade settlement
NEW YORK –
September, 2026 –
Metra Group, GoldCoin Labs Limited (“GoldCoin Labs”) and ATIF Holdings Limited
(Nasdaq: AUC) (“ATIF” or the “Company”) today marked a capital-markets
milestone with a bell-ringing celebration attended by international guests at
Nasdaq MarketSite, following ATIF’s completion of its acquisition of GoldCoin
Labs.
Through GoldCoin
Labs, now wholly owned by ATIF, Metra’s gold digital-finance business has
entered a Nasdaq-listed platform. The approximately US$20 million
all-share transaction closed on September 9, 2026, following
unanimous board approval and an independent fairness opinion.
“The UAE’s role in
connecting the global gold supply chain, international trade and financial
innovation provides a unique strategic foundation for Metra Gold,” said Shaikh Hamad Radakh.
“Today’s Nasdaq milestone is an important step in bringing together Metra’s
gold-industry vision, GoldCoin Labs’ digital infrastructure and ATIF’s
international capital-markets platform. As a shareholder, I have strong
confidence in this direction and remain committed to supporting the company’s
long-term development in gold supply-chain finance and global trade
settlement.”
GoldCoin Labs is
developing the issuance and related infrastructure for Metra Gold (GOLDM), a
tokenized digital representation of physical gold. Each GOLDM token is intended
to represent one gram of fine gold meeting London Bullion Market Association Good
Delivery requirements and is intended to be backed on a 1:1 basis by physical
gold. GoldCoin Labs’ contemplated business model includes token
issuance and redemption, third-party custody of underlying gold, reserve
verification, and blockchain-based transfer and settlement.
Metra’s broader
objective is to explore how Metra Gold may support real financing, trade and
settlement needs across the gold value chain. The UAE, an important global
center for gold trading, refining, storage, logistics and re-export, is
envisioned as a central hub for gold supply-chain finance and cross-border
trade. Potential applications include trade finance supported by gold inventory
or gold in transit, working-capital support through refining and delivery
cycles, and cross-border B2B settlement.
For ATIF, the
acquisition builds on its exploration of digital-asset businesses since June
2025. The board believes the transaction provides exposure to the growing
tokenized real-world asset sector and is expected to further diversify the
Company’s business and expand potential revenue sources.
For millennia, gold
has anchored trust in global commerce. Building on that legacy, the Nasdaq
MarketSite celebration marks a new stage for Metra, GoldCoin Labs and ATIF,
with the UAE at the center of a broader vision linking gold, digital finance,
global trade and capital markets.
