Bhutan launches TER, a fully gold-backed token on Solana, as part of a wider strategy spanning tokenized assets, CBDC pilots, and Ethereum-based digital ID.​

Summary
  • Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City launches TER, a sovereign-backed token fully collateralized by physical gold and issued on Solana.​
  • DK Bank is exclusive distributor and Matrixdock provides tokenization infra, offering on-chain proof of reserves and instant settlement.​
  • TER expands Bhutan’s digital strategy alongside a Ripple CBDC pilot, Bitcoin reserves, and a national ID migration to Ethereum by 2026.

Bhutan has launched TER, a sovereign-backed digital token fully collateralized by physical gold reserves, marking the country’s latest move into blockchain technology, according to an announcement from the Special Administrative Region of Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC).

Bhutan and Solana deepen partnership

The token operates on the Solana (SOL) network and provides blockchain-based representation of gold holdings, offering domestic and international investors on-chain transparency and access to the asset class, the GMC stated.

The TER token is designed to replicate traditional gold ownership while utilizing Solana’s blockchain infrastructure. DK Bank serves as the exclusive distributor, while Matrixdock provides the tokenization infrastructure linking physical gold reserves to the digital token, according to the announcement.

The launch represents part of Bhutan’s broader digital asset strategy, which includes multiple blockchain initiatives. The Royal Monetary Authority previously partnered with Ripple to test a digital version of the ngultrum, the country’s national currency. Bhutan has also accumulated Bitcoin holdings as part of its strategic reserves, according to previous reports.

The country is currently migrating its National Digital Identity platform to the Ethereum blockchain, with completion expected by early 2026, according to government statements.

The token aims to provide instant settlement, global portability, transparent collateral verification, and integration with digital wallets, according to the GMC. The initiative combines gold as a store of value with blockchain infrastructure to create a government-backed tokenized asset.

‘Already seen the low?’ – Inside Cathie Wood’s bet on a new Bitcoin cycle

The post ‘Already seen the low?’ – Inside Cathie Wood’s bet on a new Bitcoin cycle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin has rarely looked more fragile, and many analysts are already referring to this as the worst fourth quarter on record, marked by a massive leverage wipeout and a steep drop from its all-time highs. For over a decade, Bitcoin [BTC] has followed a harsh, predictable pattern: a Halving event, a commendable rally to new highs, and then a brutal 75–90% crash that resets the entire market. This cycle shaped the crypto world and created the “crypto winter” mentality that traders have come to expect. Cathie Wood challenges the four-year cycle But according to Cathie Wood, CEO and CIO of ARK Invest, those old rules no longer apply. Speaking with Fox Business, Wood made a profound declaration: institutional adoption is actively “disrupting” the traditional Bitcoin cycle. Wood noted that growing participation in U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs had started to change how BTC absorbed volatility. She pointed to a steady decline in its two-year volatility trend over the past five years, adding fuel to the idea of a maturing asset. Why Bitcoin’s old pattern may be fading Wood’s view challenges over a decade of beliefs built around Bitcoin’s strict, predictable four-year cycle. The evidence for this cycle is compelling.  For instance, the 2012 Halving saw Bitcoin surge from under $10 to a peak of roughly $1,100; the 2016 Halving fueled a climb from $400 to nearly $20,000; and the 2020 Halving propelled the asset from $8,500 to a record high of around $69,000. Each of these explosive rallies was followed by a painful, defining drawdown of 70% to 85%, resetting the stage for the next run. This predictable pattern, last triggered by the 20th April 2024, Halving, has historically been the sole script for investors. Yet, this time, the narrative feels disjointed and disruptive. What is Wood so concerned about? Wood…
