Prosegur Crypto extends its gold investment platform to the rest of the European Union and the United Kingdom
Following its launch in Spain, Prosegur Digital Gold is now officially available in the rest of the 26 countries of the European Union, as well as the United Kingdom, consolidating its international presence.
Madrid, April 27, 2026.- Prosegur Crypto, Prosegur Cash's institutional digital asset custody service, is extending its pioneering platform for the acquisition of tokenized gold, Prosegur Digital Gold, to the rest of the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom.
This expansion comes six months after its launch in Spain and represents the company's effective entry into one of the largest integrated financial spaces in the world, made up of around 450 million inhabitants with high purchasing power. The platform facilitates the purchase of gold 100% digitally backed by physical gold, safeguarded by Prosegur and verified through periodic audits.
Prosegur Crypto buys and stores gold bars in Prosegur Cash's high-security facilities. In addition, Prosegur Cash is responsible for issuing the tokens, each of which represents a fraction of a gram of a physical gold bar in custody. For each ingot, 1,000 digital tokens are generated, which are physically backed by the gold in custody and which are subsequently marketed through Prosegur Crypto.
The tokens, which represent the ownership of gold, are stored in a digital wallet from where its price can be observed in real time and sold back to Prosegur at any time with total liquidity and security. Likewise, thanks to blockchain technology, the traceability and immutability of the transaction is guaranteed, reinforcing customer confidence.
The tokens are held under the high-security custody of Prosegur Crypto, which guarantees their protection through cold storage technology, combining physical security and advanced cybersecurity, making the company one of the most reliable players in the sector.
The service is aimed at both individual and institutional investors interested in accessing gold through digital infrastructure. As José Ángel Fernandez Freire, corporate director of innovation at Prosegur Cash and CEO of Prosegur Crypto, explains: "With Prosegur Digital Gold, Prosegur Crypto takes a step forward in the democratization of access to traditional assets through digital solutions. The platform allows anyone to buy gold in small fractions, with total security and transparency."
Prosegur Digital Gold offers a unique combination of physical support, transparency, regulatory compliance, accessibility and liquidity both in person and digitally. The service allows access to physical gold as a store of value asset without assuming operational risks. Its value is adjusted according to the market, based on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).
"The initiative is part of Prosegur Cash's strategy to become a benchmark for the tokenization of real assets of different kinds and in the custody of digital assets, a growing market in Europe following regulatory advances in the field of blockchain technology," says José Antonio Lasanta, CEO of Prosegur Cash.
Own infrastructure for institutional custody
Prosegur Crypto operates on its own infrastructure of four crypto bunkers located in Andorra, Argentina, Brazil and Spain. These facilities, designed specifically for the custody of institutional-grade digital assets, integrate maximum physical security environments, meeting standards equivalent to those used in the custody of cash and precious metals, along with cold storage technology architectures, cryptographic key segregation systems, and advanced cybersecurity protocols, among others.
