Did you know the small Himalayan Kingdom is now backing its digital future with actual gold bars?
Bhutan launched TER, which means "Treasure" in the national language - Dzongkha. Officially launched in December 2025, this is not just normal crypto, it is a sovereign gold-backed token issued by Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC).
Why is TER a game-changer for RWA?
True Trust: It is backed by the state's own physical gold reserves.
Power of Solana: It runs on the $SOL network, the world’s most efficient blockchain, for lightning-fast and low-fee transactions.
Accessibility: TER is currently distributed through Digital Kidu (DK Bank) for locals and through ORO Bank for international investors.
What next?
TER is expected to soon go into decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the Solana network. This means whether you are in Thimphu (capital of Bhutan), New York, or anywhere on earth, this is a huge step for Real World Assets (RWA).
