On October 17, Swarm Markets, a Real Asset (RWA) platform certified by German regulator BaFin, announced a partnership with OrdinalsBot to bring physical gold investment to the Bitcoin network for the first time, according to CoinDesk. The innovative service enables tokenized trading of physical gold on the Bitcoin blockchain through the Ordinals protocol, which inscribes unique gold bar serial numbers on satoshi. Instead of having to choose between physical and digital gold, investors can hold both. The service is expected to launch by the end of this year.
