Matrixdock Expands Tokenized Silver (XAGm) to Sui, Enabling Institutional-Grade Access for On-Chain Finance

Institutional-grade Silver is now accessible on Sui, expanding XAGm's use in on-chain financial systems

SINGAPORE, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matrixdock today announced the expansion of its tokenized silver product, XAGm, to Sui, extending its on-chain commodities offering beyond Ethereum. The move enables institutional-grade silver to be actively used across trading, lending, and collateralized applications, reflecting a broader shift in on-chain finance from asset issuance toward real financial execution.

A new phase of on-chain finance is emerging. Real-world assets (RWAs) are no longer defined by their ability to be tokenized, but by their ability to function—moving, interacting, and serving as collateral within programmable financial systems.

Sui is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain built for scalable finance and global payments. It makes assets, permissions, and user data programmable and ownable, thereby serving as the ideal platform for broader utilization of RWAs. Matrixdock complements this foundation by serving the reserve layer for on-chain finance—bringing institutional-grade assets on-chain with transparency, asset integrity, and real utility.

Today, this shared vision advances as Matrixdock brings Matrixdock Silver (XAGm) to Sui, extending its collaboration beyond tokenized gold into a greater on-chain commodities strategy.

XAGm is a fully allocated, institutional-grade tokenized silver asset backed by London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)-accredited silver. Natively issued on Sui, each token is directly linked to underlying vaulted bullion, supported by independent verification and professional custody. By bringing silver on-chain, XAGm transforms a traditionally static asset into one that can move seamlessly across trading, lending, and collateralized financial applications.

Despite growing demand for silver exposure, institutional-grade on-chain silver remains scarce. Existing products often lack verifiable reserves, sufficient liquidity, or the ability to integrate into financial applications.

The Sui Foundation has indicated plans to allocate a portion of its treasury into XAGm, signaling alignment and confidence in tokenized silver as a reserve-grade asset within on-chain financial infrastructure.

From Issuance to Execution

Ethereum established the foundation for tokenized assets–prioritizing transparency, composability, and market access. Within this environment, XAGm demonstrated that institutional-grade commodities can exist on-chain with verifiable backing.

Sui represents the next phase.

With its horizontally scalable architecture, parallel execution engine, and sub-second finality, Sui enables assets to operate within high-performance financial systems — where they are not only issued, but actively used. This marks a broader transition in blockchain design: from passive issuance layers to execution environments capable of supporting real-time financial activity at scale.

This transition is driven by two forces: growing demand for reliable collateral in DeFi, and the emergence of high-performance blockchains capable of supporting real-time financial activity.

"Tokenized assets are at the forefront of this new era of global finance, where assets move at the speed of messages, and Sui is uniquely positioned to underpin and power all the necessary components at scale," said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, the original contributors to Sui. "We're pleased to work with Matrixdock to expand into its tokenized silver product, XAGm."

Silver as a Functional Asset

Unlike gold, which primarily serves as a store of value, silver presents a fundamentally different profile. Its industrial demand and higher volatility make it structurally suited for active financial use.

"Gold proved that real-world assets can exist on-chain. Silver is where they start to function," said Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock.

"Following gold, silver represents the next evolution of on-chain commodities—where liquidity, utility, and programmability converge. With XAGm, we are enabling silver to function as institutional-grade collateral across decentralized markets, without compromising on transparency or asset integrity. There are very few spot silver assets today that meet the requirements of DeFi at an institutional standard, and this is the gap XAGm is designed to fill. Sui's architecture allows us to deliver this at scale."

XAGm introduces Matrixdock's Fungible Reserve Standard (FRS), an issuance framework that preserves fungibility while reconciling token supply with underlying reserves as real-world carry is recognized over time. This ensures that token supply remains consistently aligned with underlying assets without introducing hidden risk or compromising composability across DeFi.

As on-chain derivatives markets evolve–particularly with rising demand for silver perpetuals–the need for underlying spot assets that can support trading, hedging, and collateralization becomes essential. Assets such as XAGm are no longer optional–they become foundational infrastructure.

Infrastructure Designed to Scale

Sui's parallel execution model, sub-second finality, and horizontally scalable infrastructure enable instantaneous, cost-efficient transactions — critical for high-frequency financial use cases and collateral movement. Its security and reliability provide the foundation for global-scale adoption of tokenized real-world assets.

This shift — from issuance to execution, from representation to utility — reflects a structural redefinition of how real-world assets participate in financial systems. Together, Matrixdock and Sui are advancing a shared vision: reserve-grade assets that are transparent, verifiable, and natively integrated into internet capital markets.

Matrixdock Expands Tokenized Silver (XAGm) to Sui, Enabling Institutional-Grade Access for On-Chain Finance

Youth leadership program reaches milestone in mentoring next generation of the Internet community across Asia Pacific

SINGAPORE, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy (APIGA) today celebrates a decade of preparing the next generation of youth leaders to help shape the future of the Internet across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Since its launch in 2016, more than 359 participants from 32 economies have successfully completed the academy, building a growing network of future policymakers, technical experts, academics, civil society leaders, and Internet governance leaders.

The milestone was commemorated during a special anniversary ceremony held at the 10^th APIGA in Busan, South Korea on 24 July 2026.

"The Internet's future depends on the next generation of leaders who will help ensure it remains secure, stable, and accessible for everyone," said Sally Costerton, ICANN's Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement. "For the past 10 years, APIGA has equipped young leaders across Asia Pacific with the knowledge and practical experience to become active contributors within the global Internet community."

APIGA is an annual five-day workshop focusing on Internet governance and Internet-related topics. The program is co-hosted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Korea Internet & Security Agency, together with regional Internet organizations such as the Asia Pacific Network Information Center, DotAsia, and the Internet Society.

Through an immersive, interactive curriculum, participants gain practical knowledge of how the Internet works and the bottom-up consensus-building model of Internet governance that has helped shape the Internet. Most importantly, the program empowers participants to contribute meaningfully to Internet governance discussions at the local, regional, and global levels.

Building on APIGA's success, the program expanded in 2024 with the launch of local APIGAs, bringing Internet governance education closer to communities across the region. Designed around the same immersive and hands-on style of learning, local APIGAs offer shorter, locally tailored programs that address local issues and may be delivered in the local language. In just two years, local APIGAs have expanded to ten economies, extending opportunities for youth engagement and strengthening regional engagement in Internet governance.

As APIGA enters its second decade, the program remains focused on preparing the next generation to help continue to shape an open, secure, stable, and globally interoperable Internet.

APIGA is part of ICANN's broader commitment to develop future Internet leaders through youth engagement initiatives. These efforts include NextGen@ICANN, which introduces university students and early-career professionals to ICANN Public Meetings and the multistakeholder model of Internet governance.
