Investors can now lease as little as 0.1 gram of gold and earn up to 16% annually

O Gold, the first Emirati app for fractional gold and silver ownership, has officially launched its collaboration with Monetary Metals, a global leader in gold leasing. The two companies have spent months collaborating to develop an innovative investment model that enables gold owners to generate substantial returns by leasing their holdings. The launch event, held in Dubai, brought together key industry leaders, stakeholders, and media representatives, marking a milestone in the evolution of gold investments.

Monetary Metals has a proven track record of selecting only highly qualified companies for gold leasing. Their use of inventory and RFID systems ensures every gram of gold is tracked in real time. Additionally, a comprehensive gold insurance policy from a leading global insurance provider wraps the entire program, providing investors with maximum security. While Monetary Metals traditionally requires a minimum of 10 ounces of gold to engage in leasing, the collaboration with O Gold breaks this barrier, making gold leasing accessible to a wider audience.

Through the newly introduced leasing feature on the O Gold app, users can now lease as little as 0.1 gram of gold and earn up to 16% annual return—comprising approximately an 11% market return and up to 5% yield, paid in Gold. With this initiative, O Gold empowers investors to unlock the full potential of their gold holdings, transforming idle assets into productive investments.
