Gold has always been the OG store of value—but what if it could finally pay you back? In this episode of the RWA Igloominati Podcast, Usman (Founder & CEO of Oro Gold) joins Jon to reveal how Oro is making gold a productive, yield-bearing digital asset.

We go deep into why gold is still the world’s most trusted “meme coin,” how Oro differs from other tokenized gold projects, and what the next decade of DeFi, stablecoins, and hard assets will look like.

From capital controls and regulators, to gold leasing and AML, to making gold productive in DeFi—this conversation is pure alpha for builders, investors, and anyone eyeing RWAs.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Why access, yield, and credit are the “3 horsemen” of Oro’s gold thesis.

• The difference between Oro Gold and other tokenized gold projects.

• Why regulators fear stablecoins more than gold.

• How gold leasing works (and why most people don’t know about it).

• The macro shift from fiat to hard assets: gold + Bitcoin.

• What’s next for Oro, including yield baskets, app launch, and integrations.

• Usman’s life advice: control only what you can control.

What if your blockchain wasn’t just decentralised—but economically fair?

In this high-impact episode of the RWA Igloominati series, we sit down with Alex Davis, founder and CEO of Mavryk Network, to unpack how Mavryk is building a real digital Commonwealth from the ground up.

This episode delivers the real alpha on:

• ✅ Mavryk’s $3B infrastructure deal with MAG & Multibank

• ✅ How protocol-level tokenomics can reward users—not just insiders

• ✅ Real estate, mortgage-backed loans & insurance-linked securities on-chain

• ✅ How Dubai’s RWA regulation is quietly leading the global race

• ✅ Why most L1s are failed nation-states—and what a real digital Commonwealth looks like

• ✅ How fractional Bitcoin mining could work legitimately

• ✅ Real decentralization vs “4 devs and a multisig” cosplay
