Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 11, 2026, Chainwire
MultiBank Group’s cryptocurrency arm mb.io is bringing African gold on-chain through partnerships with Kings Orbis, EON3 Group and Mavryk.
The institutional gold tokenization program will be powered by mb.io RWA, with warehousing in Dubai under LBMA-certified custody, dedicated supply from EON3 Group, and Mavryk as the RWA’s Tier 1 Blockchain Technical Infrastructure Partner.
mb.ioMultiBank, the cryptocurrency arm of MultiBank Group, has confirmed its institutional partnership with Kings Orbis, EON3 Group Ghana Ltd and Mavryk to develop an institutional-grade tokenization program for physically backed gold from West Africa. The partnership unifies four institutional roles into a single architecture: mb.io RWA as the regulated tokenization marketplace, Kings Orbis as the program coordinator, EON3 Group as the dedicated institutional supply partner, and Mavryk as the Tier 1 Blockchain technical infrastructure partner and RWA.
Senior representatives of all four partners attended the Global Peace Summit in Kumasi, Ghana, on Friday 24 April 2026, where they participated in discussions held within the framework of the Pillars of Peace movement. The visit included a private meeting with His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, King of the Ashanti Kingdom, who expressed his personal support for the success of this partnership. The meeting stressed the cultural importance of West African gold and the responsible institutional framework that the partnership aims to achieve.
The Ashanti Kingdom, one of the most historically important kingdoms in West Africa, was synonymous with gold for centuries. Known globally as the “Gold Coast” for its unparalleled gold reserves, the region has produced gold for over 700 years, providing global trade routes and shaping the cultural and economic identity of modern Ghana. This collaboration brings that legacy to the chain, making Ashanti gold available to the global investor base for the first time in a digitally native, partially tradable form.
Each token represents direct ownership of the underlying physical gold, held in Dubai under institutional care. In addition to commodity gold, the partnership will also tokenize a curated collection of gold art – physical artworks made with and inspired by Ashanti gold – honoring the cultural legacy of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene and globally recognized advocate of the Pillars of Peace movement.
The program that mb.ioKings Orbis, EON3 and Mavryk are developing together to change that. It gives international investors access to African gold in digital and fractional format. Material support is independently verified at each stage.
Under the architecture being developed, each token will represent direct institutional ownership of the underlying physical gold, held in Dubai under LBMA-approved institutional custody. Kings Orbis builds the program on one founding principle: every token traded must be backed by independently verified physical assets, with institutional oversight at every stage of the lifecycle, from sourcing and refining to staking, tokenization and secondary trading.
The program is offered by mb.io RWA, the digital assets and tokenization arm of MultiBank Group. mb.io operates a regulated cryptocurrency exchange and will launch a dedicated market for tokenized real assets. Self-custodial and cross-chain compliant wallets are built into the platform from the ground up.
mb.io is a globally regulated cryptocurrency exchange, placing it among a small group of crypto platforms with real regulatory support in one of the most active digital asset regions in the world.
One of the largest initiatives currently in active development on mb.io RWA is the African Gold Program, which was created to support institutional-level tokenization across multiple asset classes.
The software is powered by Mavryk, a dedicated Tier 1 technical infrastructure partner for mb.io and RWA. Mavryk’s purpose-built infrastructure provides the technical foundation for issuing, settling and trading token physical gold at an institutional level, with the compliance hooks, lifecycle controls and interoperability that regulated software requires. Mavryk is integrated as a dedicated layer 1 via mb.io’s RWA software, ensuring a consistent technology stack across asset classes.

The additional Gold Art collection adds an extraordinary cultural dimension to this initiative, connecting tradition, art and finance in a way that has never been done before.”
Christian Rainer Arndt, Managing Partner of DEVPRAG FZCO and Director of Kings Orbis FZCO“Kings Orbis is built on the principle that enterprise-level coding requires enterprise-grade architecture, verified supply, regulated custody, and independent oversight at every stage,” he said. “Our supply partnership with EON3 Group Ghana Ltd embeds the software in a credible enterprise supply chain, and this partnership with mb.io and Mavryk brings the platform, infrastructure, and software orchestration into one enterprise framework. We are progressing carefully and look forward to sharing more in due course.”
Richard Ofori Attah, Chairman of EON3 Group Ghana LtdHe said: “EON3 has spent years building the operational foundations to bring African gold to international markets in physical form, particularly through its gold minting and refining business in the production of investment grade bullion. Through this partnership, we are now taking this work to the next chapter, which is the digitization and tokenization of African gold within the enterprise architecture, in collaboration with Kings Orbis, mb.io and Mavryk. It is a natural and important development that opens new paths for African gold as a trusted, transparent and globally accessible institutional asset.” To her.
