Overview

I-ON is a leading developer and provider of asset-digitization and securitization solutions. The company specializes in digitizing documentary evidence of ownership into secure, asset-backed digital certificates, bringing liquidity and recognized value to a diverse array of asset classes. I-ON’s cutting-edge technology includes a hybrid blockchain architecture with smart contracts and sophisticated workflow management, including AI technologies.

In 2023, I-ON continued to expand its market presence and plans for future product offerings. The company notably acquired Orebits’ gold digitization patent and patent-pending portfolio, trademarks, brand marks, and core intellectual property. This acquisition has allowed I-ON to enhance its capabilities and broaden its plans for future service offerings, particularly through a new SaaS platform designed as a “digital front-end” for banks, broker-dealers, and other financial intermediaries.

The real-world asset tokenization market is rapidly evolving, with gold digitization and asset-backed securities emerging as standout segments. I-ON’s ability to unlock the liquidity of reserves still in the ground, enhance transparency, and offer fractional ownership of a time-tested store of value has positioned the company at the forefront of this movement. The company’s technological edge has deepened its presence in the rapidly evolving RWA tokenization, asset digitization, and asset-backed digital assets marketplace.

Building on evolving capacity and momentum, I-ON expanded its SaaS platform to serve banks and financial intermediaries with advanced tools for asset management, transaction processing, and digital securities reporting. The platform can now deliver faster, more secure blockchain-powered transactions, while also enabling the monetization of in-ground gold without physical extraction—supporting historical ESG mandates and broader sustainable finance initiatives. Strategic partnerships and a regulatory-focused mindset continue to drive innovation, allowing I-ON to meet institutional standards while setting new benchmarks in digital asset infrastructure. These advancements are expected to fuel revenue growth and position I-ON as a long-term leader in the digitization and tokenization of real-world assets.
