Frequently Asked Questions

EIG Global Trust, established in 2023, as a Delaware Statutory Trust to drive the digital asset transformation for central banks, commercial banks, and financial institutions.  We are a private entity founded by five (5) trustees with innovative 200+ years in banking and finance, software development, computer security, regulatory enforcement, Big Four consulting, and Government auditing backgrounds.

EIG Global Trust has assembled top bankers in the world to our advisory board including investment bankers, bank executives, asset managers, and full service financial executives to catapult EIG Global Trust to the forefront of digital currency. These regulatory sector relationships are the legal foundation to our digital asset banking products.

As a Delaware Statutory Trust, the trustees are responsible for the day to day management and “owners” are the beneficiaries who receive financial reports by the trustees and file as required by their tax jurisdictional location.

To provide gold-backed collateral in the form of stablecoin to fund large-scale projects which enhance GDP and improve liquidity in a country’s banking system without adding to national debt or inflation. We achieve this through the asset funding of major projects which grows GDP and stabilizes the economy in a sustainable and responsible fashion.

Digital currencies are stored electronically and can be owned, transferred, or traded in the form of digital tokens or coins.  Most importantly, stablecoins have significant advantages over basic fiat currencies and credit instruments (like USD Dollars and Treasury notes) they are more secure, accountable, and trackable on digital ledger blockchains. We have two (2) digital currency stablecoins, EIG Bank Coin (ticker = EIGBC) and USD Gold (ticker = USDAU).

1. Our EIGBC and USDAU issued stablecoins are 100% “double backed” by USD Dollar & Cash Equivalents + Gold (Au).  The stablecoins are booked as an Asset on the EIG Global Trust client partners’ balance sheets and in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) published guidelines as USD on the books.

2. Our stablecoins have initial backing including initial reserves of over $5 Trillion USD in fine Gold (Au) + $1 Trillion+ registered and verified precious metals including gold.  Furthermore, the $5 Trillion of reserved fine gold is recorded in the United States Federal Reserve banking system.

3. The Gold (Au) backing is favorable to our financial partners as Basel III international banking regulations requires banks to report gold at its market price, thus, likely increasing value over time unlike other fixed priced fiat stablecoins, because Gold (Au) is the true scarcity asset of value throughout history.  

4. Built for the banking and business-to-business finance community, our high peg values of $1 million USD for EIGBC and $1,000 USD for USDAU compare most practically in larger transaction processes to other stablecoins pegged at only $1 USD/coin or token.  Although, the EIGBC and USDAU tokens have a higher peg denomination, for accounting and transaction  purposes they are easily broken down into up to five decimal places fractionally of portions of their pegged amounts.

5. Our stablecoins have a pre-minted supply, on the blockchain, of 90 million EIGBC (potentially $90 Trillion USD value) coins and 5 billion USDGOLD (potentially $5 Trillion USD value) tokens that will be able to address the future requirements of the world’s financial community. Our stablecoins and tokens currently have fine gold reserves representing a market cap of $6.1 Trillion USD (potentially $95 Trillion USD) – as of 6th December 2024 – compared to the  combined published market cap of all other stablecoins via the public retail crypto exchanges which is approximately ONLY $250 billion.  As market demands for currency increase, EIG issues additional coins and tokens fully backed by Gold, as we have the largest registered reserves on the planet to meet the growth in the digital currency financial ecosystem.  Conversely, as the numerous industry charting services note the ranking of all stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, we recognize our holdings dwarf the combined market capitalization of all retail level traded digital currencies. Consequently, it is not practical for EIGBC coin and USDAU tokens to be traded on the retail crypto exchanges at this time. Instead, EIG Global Trust employs trading and transactional processes with banks, asset managers, financial institutions, registered broker dealer networks and high net worth entities and corporations regarding their trading and settlement.

EIGBC, each valued at $1,000,000 USD, is the primarily deployed digital currency for our financial partners to book as the core gold backed USD asset for collateral purposes.USDAU, valued at $1,000 USD, complements EIGBC by providing a practical means for indemnification, bank fractional leverage and liquidity for loan portfolios (credit lines) and settlement. 

For example, we will issue EIGBC to a cold wallet designated to a  partner, and for security purposes, we custodially maintain their wallet on our proprietary blockchain.  Simultaneously, the EIGBC will be recorded as an asset on the partners’ books, with an auditable code-based delivery document.  Once booked, the EIGBC is used as collateral to support the partners’ products (credit lines, project financing, financial instruments). USDAU can also be used as collateral or indemnify the EIGBC on the books. Additionally, USDAU is used for settlement or payment of any returns generated by the partnership from interest / coupon payments for holding EIGBC, payments earned from the financed projects, or a digital asset product re-sold/traded to partner’s clients.  Like other cryptocurrencies, our stablecoins can be used for cross-border payments, without limitation.

In December 2024, EIG Global Trust partnered with a world gold consortium to secure an initial $5,000,000,000,000 ($5 Trillion USD) block allocated and reserved negotiable fine gold (Au).  Further in April 2025, the $5 trillion in reserved fine gold (Au) was published and recorded as audited reserves on The United States Federal Reserve (“FED”) Screen.  It should be noted that the FED recording is the world’s regulatory financial standard for the audit of assets. Additionally, we partnered with mining companies with verifiable and registered precious metals including gold in the form of National Instrument (NI) 43-101.  The conservative valuation of the NI 43-101 in ground assets at the time of acquisition in March 2024 was more than $1 Trillion in gold reserves. 

Yes, both stablecoins completed CyberSecurity, Blockchain, Project Owners, and Proof of Reserve Audits.  Internationally recognized blockchain security auditors Hashlock Pty Ltd was procured by EIG Global Trust to perform the security audit.  A USA based Certified Public Accountant of 30+ years performed the Project Owners and Proof of Reserves Audit.

You can buy/sell our stablecoins directly with EIG Global Trust.  Our stablecoins are NOT available on any public exchanges as they are tailored to Central Banks, Commercial Banks, Financial Institutions, and high-net worth portfolios.  The public exchanges simply cannot handle the value / volume of our stablecoins.  Please contact us directly to purchase our stablecoins.  Furthermore, as banks and financial institutions request the availability of our coins and tokens as collateral for their credit platforms, we are able to provide them directly to satisfy their stabilization objectives of their balance sheets. We have an extremely competitive model to support their growth initiatives for leveraged liquidity and substantial returns.

Yes. We have in development a fast, scalable, and secure platform to power digital currency retail ecosystems.  This platform will leverage the company’s gold backed stablecoin model to provide “last mile” solutions to countries and clients enabling wallet transfers and transactions, a true end-to-end EIG Global Trust digital infrastructure.

We work closely with client countries to obtain all the required local licenses regarding cryptocurrency / financial transactions or currencies.  Since our stablecoins are NOT traded on any public exchanges currently, we have not applied for consumer-focused licenses.  However, being based in the USA, our stablecoins will be fully compliant with future laws (i.e. US GENIUS Act). EIG Global Trust already meets the requirements of the international regulatory community.

We provide turnkey digital asset solutions to partners beginning with issuance of gold backed stablecoins for collateral purposes.  We are the stablecoin project owners and determine the peg value, supply, and issuance of the stablecoins. We lead the stablecoin transfer process to the partner including training, wallet setup, transfer, and reporting.

We require our Partners to sign the Master Agreement, determine the responsible party who will have custody of the access codes to their named EIGBC & USDAU (cold wallet owners), issue fiat-based credit lines using the EIGBC / USDAU as collateral, define use of the credit lines (project financing, financial instruments, CBDC, etc.), and pay EIG Global Trust its 5% management fee.

We provide digital asset collateral by transferring our gold backed stablecoins to our client banks and financial institutions balance sheets (recorded as an asset).  The collateral then backs the banks or financial institutions in their issuance of credit lines (including their leveraging opportunities) for project financing, financial products, trading instruments, and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). 

Our stablecoins also earn returns for the partner by holding them over time. The partner can allocate the stablecoins to their client base and make additional returns via the spread between what the partner earns from EIG Global Trust vs what they pay their clients. Thus, the partner indirectly shares in any project profits derived for remediation of interest and expense from the indemnification of the initial collateral, in the form of stablecoins issued by EIG Global Trust, for financed projects or leveraged instruments etc. For further information, including our Audit of Reserves, please view other areas of this EIG Global Trust  website.
