Warehouse Receipt Tokenization for Metals
Imagine you’re holding a warehouse receipt for high-purity copper, knowing you could tap into its value instantly without moving a single ingot. That’s the power of warehouse receipt tokenization. By converting receipts into blockchain-backed tokens, traders, smelters and refiners gain frictionless ownership transfers, faster financing and crystal-clear audit trails.
How It Works
- A warehouse issues a standard receipt confirming metal type, quantity and location.
- Our platform mints a digital token on a permissioned blockchain, each token matching one receipt.
- Token holders trade or pledge tokens as collateral for financing, without physical delivery.
- At repurchase or end of financing, tokens are burned and receipts redeemed—or swapped—at the warehouse.
Core Benefits
- Instant Liquidity
– Swap tokens with financiers in seconds, not days.
- Clear Ownership
– On-chain transfers eliminate disputes over title or splits.
- Reduced Costs
– Cut out intermediaries and manual reconciliation.
- Audit-Ready
– Every token movement is immutably recorded.

Real-World Example
A mid-tier refiner was juggling multiple copper lots across three terminals. Too many hands, too much paperwork and late fees piling up. By tokenizing receipts, they slashed transfer times, synchronized collateral pools and cut financing costs by 30%. No more frantic calls to warehouses—just a digital token swap that settled instantly.
