NatGold Digital Ltd has announced a significant advancement in its intellectual property roadmap with the submission of seven full (non-provisional) patent applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Filed by the Company’s legal advisers, Lowenstein Sandler LLP, these applications build on NatGold’s provisional patent filings made in 2025.

This step transitions NatGold’s patent portfolio from initial priority protection into formal USPTO examination, enhancing the Company’s capacity to defend the proprietary processes and system-level architecture at the core of its digital mining platform and reinforcing the long-term resilience of its business model.

Together, the seven applications address the complete lifecycle of tokenizing in-ground gold resources validated by independent technical reports. They also encompass a sustainability and integrity credit structure, valuation models for unextracted assets intended for tokenization, and governance, compliance, and risk management mechanisms tailored for regulated environments—including KYC and AML requirements. In addition, the filings outline interoperability approaches aligned with national digital currency infrastructures, including Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Alongside these filings, NatGold has submitted additional provisional patent applications as part of its broader IP strategy, which the Company intends to convert into full applications over time.

“These filings are designed to protect the methods and system architecture that link gold resources held within Mother Nature’s Vault to a compliance-ready token framework,” said CEO Andrés Fernández. “That protection gives us the confidence to scale, engage in strategic partnerships, and explore future licensing opportunities while maintaining control over our core intellectual property. For those seeking a deeper understanding of how the model operates and why these elements are critical, our educational YouTube series explains the concepts in a clear and practical way.”

With the full applications now on file, they will proceed through the USPTO’s examination process. Patent rights will be secured only if and when the applications are approved and issued, based on the final claims accepted by the USPTO.

NatGold views a mature, examination-ready patent portfolio as a cornerstone of its corporate strategy—supporting ecosystem trust, strengthening its competitive edge, and building confidence among stakeholders as real-world asset (RWA) solutions continue to develop.

The ADI Foundation (“ADI”), Finstreet Limited (“Finstreet”), and BlockBooster have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) to assess a potential strategic partnership focused on advancing the creation and adoption of regulated tokenized financial products and the supporting ecosystem.

Under the MoU, the parties will evaluate collaboration opportunities across three key focus areas. The first is the development of a UAE Dirham-pegged stablecoin, covering aspects such as market growth, distribution strategies, and on-chain adoption initiatives. The second area involves institutional-quality tokenized assets, including the identification, structuring, tokenization, and potential listing of private credit, private equity, and technology-linked assets that meet institutional investment standards. The third area centers on broader ecosystem development, with potential cooperation on investments, enabling infrastructure, asset onboarding processes, and aligned go-to-market strategies.

BlockBooster, a Web3 venture studio and asset manager specializing in stablecoins and real-world assets (RWAs), will assess the feasibility of these collaboration opportunities in partnership with ADI and Finstreet.

Any initiatives emerging from the MoU will be implemented only after securing the necessary regulatory approvals.

Ajay Bhatia, Principal Council Member of the ADI Foundation, commented, “The next phase of digital finance will be driven by credibility, regulatory alignment, and practical use cases rather than speculation. Our collaboration with BlockBooster combines institutional market infrastructure with sovereign-grade blockchain capabilities, enabling tokenized assets and stablecoins to transition from ideas into real-world financial applications.”

Samuel Gu, CEO and Founder of BlockBooster, added, “We believe there is significant opportunity to collaborate with the ADI Foundation and Finstreet in building a compliant, scalable environment for regulated tokenized products. Leveraging ADI’s infrastructure expertise and Finstreet’s regulated market framework, BlockBooster aims to support asset onboarding, market activation, and coordinated go-to-market execution within established regulatory parameters, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s role as a leading center for institutional-grade digital asset innovation.”
