About Ougon Zakura FT (OZFT)
Ougon Zakura FT, a Japanese financial services company, has announced the launch of its new gold-pegged stablecoin, OZFT. Each OZFT token is pegged to the value of 1 gram of gold, providing a reliable and convenient means of asset management and inflation hedging. The token is designed to have the same asset and investment characteristics as physical gold and features a small payment function that is not found in other similar products.
Ougon Zakura FT aims to promote the use of OZFT as a means of payment in addition to its use for asset management and inflation hedging. OZFT will be issued and sold through a variety of channels. Initially, Ougon Zakura FT will issue new tokens, and XT.COM will act as a seller and establish a service to sell the token to users. In phase 2, the company plans to expand the number of cryptocurrency exchanges that handle the token, thus expanding the sales network of the Token and increasing its liquidity.
The company also plans to provide a service that allows the OZFT Token to be used as a means of remittance or payment and expand what can be exchanged with the token beyond physical gold — other crypto assets. When purchasing OZFT through XT.COM, the issuer will purchase physical Swiss Gold equivalent to the quantity of the tokens from Degussa Sonne/Mond Goldhandel Ltd. via Japan’s only authorized distributor, K.K. ARCA. The physical gold purchased will then be deposited with and safely stored by Degussa Sonne/Mond Goldhandel Ltd. Those who purchase the token through XT.COM or other cryptocurrency exchange service providers will have a right to demand the issuer to redeem the token at a price that approximates the market price of the physical Swiss Gold. However, tokenholders cannot request the issuer to return the deposited physical Swiss Gold. The upper limit set for the issuance of the token is a quantity equivalent to 950 billion yen ($6.9 billion or 100 million OZFT).
The maximum number of issued tokens may be increased in the future on the condition that it does not harm the interests of users and the overall stability of transactions. The trading price of the token presented by the issuer will be calculated based on the negotiated trading market for delivery in London. In the event that a vulnerability is discovered in systems related to the token, such as its blockchain, smart contracts, wallet or any other systems that affect the quality of the token, the movement of the token may be restricted in accordance with the rules of the Blockchain Platform Steering Committee, which consists of the issuer and the crypto asset exchange service provider that handles the token.
Albin Warin, CEO of XT.COM, expressed his excitement about the listing of the OZFT token on XT.COM. In a statement, he said:
“We are thrilled to list the OZFT token on our exchange. The gold-pegged stablecoin offers a unique investment opportunity for our users, combining the stability of physical gold with the convenience and accessibility of cryptocurrencies. We believe that OZFT has the potential to become a popular asset for those looking to diversify their portfolios and hedge against inflation. We look forward to supporting the growth of the OZFT ecosystem and providing our users with the best trading experience possible.”
