NatGold Digital announced on June 2, 2026, that its NATG token is prepared for market availability across all 30 European Economic Area member states. This follows the company's filing of its MiCA White Paper with the Central Bank of Ireland on April 3, 2026, and its subsequent publication on May 7, 2026, under Article 9 of the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. NatGold Digital, based in Miami, utilizes a patent-pending process termed "digital gold mining" to tokenize the intrinsic value of verified, in-ground gold resources, differentiating itself from conventional gold-backed tokens that represent title to stored bullion. The NATG token is positioned as a "natural evolution" of both gold and Bitcoin. The acceptance of the MiCA filing does not imply endorsement by any competent authority. The specific launch date for European market availability will be announced separately. Under MiCA's asset-referenced token framework, NATG will be accessible across EEA member states via passporting provisions. Andrés Fernández, CEO of NatGold Digital, stated that the token was designed for global relevance, supported by a pre-market reservation program that closed on February 25, 2026. This program attracted 17,466 individuals from 162 countries who reserved 133,518 NATG tokens, indicating over $469 million in gross demand at a Baseline Intrinsic Value of $3,518 per token. The institutional infrastructure was finalized on May 22, 2026, with the engagement of High Ridge Trust as the independent custodian. Karen J. Wendel, President of High Ridge Trust, highlighted the custody structure's design for operational integrity and institutional confidence.
