The integration allows Zand’s corporate clients to utilize XDC Network’s blockchain platform for institutional-grade digital asset custody.
These services will become available following applicable regulatory approvals in the UAE. The partnership focuses on delivering faster and more transparent financial solutions for businesses operating in the region.
XDC Network brings enterprise-grade blockchain capabilities designed specifically for institutional use cases.

This initiative targets the gold trading sector by introducing blockchain-based solutions for precious metal transactions. The platform combines traditional gold investment benefits with blockchain technology advantages.
ComTech Gold aims to bring transparency and programmability to gold trading markets. The blockchain-based approach can streamline processes that traditionally involve multiple intermediaries and complex settlement procedures.
This application demonstrates how distributed ledger technology applies to physical commodity markets beyond digital assets.
