I-ON Digital Corp. Deploys $200M in AUM Backed by In Situ Gold as Treasury Expands Its RWA Strategies

December 4th, 2025 – Chicago, IL, USA

  I-ON Digital Corp.  (OTCQB: IONI), a leading U.S. real-world-asset (RWA) infrastructure company specializing in regulated digital asset banking, tokenization, and gold-backed instruments, today announced it has secured multiple asset-deployment commitments totaling more than $200 million in in-situ gold reserves.

These commitments advance  I-ON ‘s tokenization, treasury management, and advanced liquidity-deployment strategies across its expanding RWA-based ecosystem.

This substantial inflow-aggregated through a growing network of institutional reserve holders – will be digitized and managed through  I-ON ‘s regulated Treasury and Digital Asset Platform (DAP), then deployed across the Company’s expanding liquidity network. This includes  RAAC.io (Regnum Aurum Acquisition Corp.)  and  GoldfishGold.com , two rapidly scaling distribution gateways for RWAs, gold-backed digital assets, asset-collateralized stablecoins, and Open-Finance lending instruments. Together, these channels create a scalable pipeline for converting in-situ gold reserves into compliant, yield-generating digital financial products.

A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR REGULATED GOLD-BACKED DIGITAL ASSETS

The onboarding of $200 million in ION.au gold-backed digital asset deployment agreements – including both closely held ION.au and ION.au under management – represents one of the largest single tranches of in-situ gold commitments to enter a U.S.-regulated tokenization framework in 2025, positioning  I-ON  at the forefront of institutional-grade digital asset conversion.

The operational deployments are expected to transform, through material balance sheet and AUM growth,  I-ON ‘s suite of digitized financial instruments – including gold-backed tokens, stable-value structures, treasury-grade securities, and liquidity-pool assets – while remaining  I-ON ‘s legacy of deploying fully auditable, verifiable, and compliant digital assets within the Company’s regulated digital banking architecture.

“This is a watershed moment not only for  I-ON , but for the broader RWA tokenization market,” said Carlos X. Montoya, Chairman & CEO of  I-ON Digital . “The addition of $200 million in tokenized gold – driven by real institutional demand – validates the trust being placed in our model, our compliance infrastructure, and our partner ecosystem. It solidifies  I-ON  as one of the most credible and scaled gold-digitization platforms in the U.S.”

POWERED BY A GROWING LIQUIDITY AND DISTRIBUTION ECOSYSTEM

Through  RAAC.io , ION.au becomes programmable collateral that can be deployed across multiple products and venues, including:

• Instant settlement and collateralization in trading, lending, and payments
• Real-time proof-of-reserve visibility and 24/7 auditability
• Liquidity pools and hedged index baskets
• Tokenized capital markets products and yield-structured vehicles

Through  GoldfishGold.com , ION.au reaches retail and institutional buyers via:

• Tokenized gold at market-leading spreads
• Integrated buy/sell networks
• Multi-asset vaulting and redemption programs
• Consumer-facing trading routes for I-ON-backed digital gold instruments

Together, these distribution points materially expand market access for  I-ON ‘s digitized gold products, enabling efficient deployment into trading markets, structured pools, and alternative liquidity channels.

ACCELERATING TOWARD NATIONAL EXCHANGE UPLISTING TARGETS

As recently announced, in conjunction with a  I-ON Digital  – Craft Capital Management NASDAQ up-listing engagement, this multi-faceted asset deployment arrives as  I-ON  continues to strengthen its capital markets readiness ahead of its planned 2026 national exchange uplisting, supported by recent:

• Digital asset banking advancements
• New tokenization partnerships
• Strategic engagements with capital advisors
• Expanded RWA infrastructure and institutional onboarding

“The momentum across our ecosystem is unmistakable,” said Ken Park, Director & Chief Marketing Officer of I-ON Digital. “Our partners at RAAC.io and GoldfishGold.com continue to amplify market reach and accelerate capital inflows. This milestone reinforces the growing institutional appetite for regulated, high-integrity tokenized gold-and the unique position I-ON holds in delivering it.”
