NEW YORK, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) (Nasdaq: BGLWW) (“Blue Gold” or the “Company”), a gold mining company with the infrastructure to deliver gold from mine-to-wallet, today announced the public launch of its Standard Gold Coin (“SGC”) and STANDARD wallet through the Company’s newly launched corporate website.
Blue Gold: Built on Real Gold. From Real Mines. Visit www.bluegoldone.com today.
SGC is Blue Gold’s proprietary digital gold instrument, designed to provide direct ownership of fully allocated physical gold within a modern digital framework. Through STANDARD Wallet, eligible users can buy, hold, send, receive, and redeem SGC through a self-custody digital wallet experience built around transparency, accessibility, and physical backing.
“Our public launch marks an important milestone in Blue Gold’s mine-to-wallet strategy,” said Andrew Cavaghan, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Gold. “We are building a vertically integrated gold company that controls the value chain from mining and refining through custody and digital delivery. We believe SGC represents a new category of gold ownership — combining the stability of physical gold with the efficiency and accessibility of modern digital infrastructure.”
The Company’s newly launched website now serves as the public access point for the STANDARD wallet. Users can download the wallet directly from the site and access functionality designed for purchasing, holding, transferring, and redeeming digitally represented physical gold.
The Company believes SGC is differentiated from existing gold-backed digital products through Blue Gold’s long-term strategy to vertically integrate physical gold production with tokenized distribution infrastructure. While the initial launch of SGC is backed by responsibly sourced third-party gold bullion held in institutional custody, Blue Gold ultimately intends to tokenize gold sourced directly from its own mining operations as production comes online.
Blue Gold believes this model positions the Company to become one of the first gold mining companies capable of delivering its production directly to end users in digital form. The Company intends for each SGC token to maintain a 1:1 direct relationship to allocated physical gold, with an infrastructure designed around transparency, custody integrity, and redemption functionality.
The public launch follows the successful completion of Blue Gold’s beta program announced earlier this year, which validated core wallet functionality, digital gold transfers, and physical gold allocation infrastructure ahead of broader public availability.
The Company also announced that native mobile applications for STANDARD Wallet are currently in development and are expected to become available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in the coming weeks.
