Other than our key objective of providing a universal cryptocurrency for the users to trade hybrid digital assets (asset + utility), and make
payments, we are looking forward towards the goals that will lead the SGC coin to become global. With our SGC PAY Debit Card integration, the
SGC coin will be adopted as mainstream. The SGC PAY will open new ways of spending and sending SGC coins. The SGC Online Shop aims to
provide ways of utilization for our hybrid (asset + utility) coin. And finally listing our coin on global exchanges will make trading easier for the

In the banking system, there are several monetary issues specifically in


the cross-border payments settlement which is the base of our
businesses today. The system has many inherent flaws and challenges
that we need to overcome. Many of our businesses are struggling
because of the drawbacks of our conventional banking system. The
centralized banking system has been the root of the challenges. Banks
being controlled by a central authority who demands the users and
businesses to be dependent on it. So, even if it is a cross-border
payment or even a transaction of one’s money from the banks, one is
dependent on the banks to perform the transaction which also
charges heavy fees in turn. These high fees in itself are not favourable
for businesses as they gallop a part of the company’s profit.
Moreover, we’ve not yet developed a fully automatic banking system
and thus manual work is involved in making it prone to human errors.
We’re dependent on a central bank for our data security and financial
matters and thus are vulnerable. The databases where our financial
ledgers are stored are also susceptible to hacking attempts. The
biggest case ever recorded by FCA was the Barclay Bank case, where
the bank was fined with the highest amount ever fined by FCA which
was £72 million for poor handling of financial crime risks1. However,
the issues still persisted and Barclays Boss Mr. James Staley was again
fined in the year 2018 jointly by FCA and PRA by an amount of
£642,430 over the whistleblowing scandal2.

To overcome the issues of traditional investments and stock


exchanges, cryptocurrencies were introduced. A cryptocurrency is a
digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using
cryptography to secure transactions, to control the creation of
additional units, and to verify the transfer of assets. Cryptocurrencies
are classified as a subset of digital currencies and are also classified as
a subset of alternative currencies and virtual currencies. Initially, they
seemed to solve the problems faced in the traditional investment
procedures but they have there inherent limitations and challenges as
well. Over a period of time, cryptocurrencies are evolved in the
following manner,

Currency Coins
Currency tokens/coins like BTC, ETH, and LTC were made just as a
replacement for fiat money. They are used as a payment method and
can be traded for real fiat. users have used them as investments owing
to the trends of various cryptocurrencies showing an increase in
valuation Bitcoin being on the top. But these currency coins
specifically bitcoin have been incredibly volatile since its inception.
The price volatility of bitcoin can be visualized from the graph below

Utility Coins
Utility tokens/coins came into being after the evolution of currency coins. These coins are mostly used in ICO’s and expect an increase in value to the users
by providing practical utilities to the users and platform users. The valuation of these coins is dependent on supply and demand cycles and are thus
vulnerable to outside stimuli. One cannot guarantee a future profit while investing in a utility coin. Here’s a plot of 118 coins that have been floated onto
the markets that have achieved at least an average of $250,000 market cap in any one year of their existence. The graph clearly depicts how the value of
most of the coins has fallen11.

The visualization comes more interesting when the researcher zooms it by year. We can observe that an average coin performance is getting worse
over time.

Security Tokens
Security tokens and Security Token Offerings (STO’s) are the new things in the market. They were introduced to tackle the problem of currency
tokens and utility tokens. Security tokens offer dividends from the company’s profit to the users. They work the same as the stock exchange shares.
Security tokens are however more secure than utility currencies but the problem of losing all the investment in case of loss is still there. There is
just a need for a digital asset that can assure users of some guaranteed value to remove the insecurities. The predicted hype cycle also foresee a
fall in the liquidity of the security tokens in the upcoming years.

After the introduction of Bitcoin and Ethereum, there has been Asset-backed coins are the invention for the future. These are the
constant research on improving the cryptocurrency market. The blockchain coins backed by real valuable assets mostly at 1:1 ratio but
cryptocurrencies have kept on improving from a basic investment can be changed depending on the need of a platform. Backing a coin
based tradable currencies to utility coins, security coins, asset-backed with the real-world tangible or intangible object of economic value
coins, and now the hybrid coins. makes the worth of coin exactly the value they are backed for. Thus,
there is never the risk of losing digital assets until or unless the worth
of asset falls.

Of asset-backed coins, gold-backed coins are most secure and


mainstream because of the stable gold prices. SGC, in order to
provide the audience with the best asset backed payment option, has
developed an initial released 60% gold backed coin that has the
stability of gold and usability of crypto. The SGC coin will be 60% gold
backed at the time of initial release which means that the quantity of
gold backing the coin at the time of coin being released, will not get
affected by the price volatility of SGC coin or gold in future.

SGC coin is not just an asset-backed coin but a hybrid coin that can be
used for various payment options ranging from paying on an online
e-commerce platform to point-of-sale payments through SGC PAY
Debit Card. Hybrid coins are a thing of the future. Withholding all the
properties of a secure and stable asset-backed coin as well as the
usability of a utility coin, SGC is the solution to all the payment, and
crypto problems the world is facing.

exchanges, which is the first step towards liquidity.

Diversification of risk
Through tokenizing assets, people who cannot make huge
investments can invest in some percentage of the whole asset
making them able to get the ownership of one cheap part
instead of an expensive whole. Tokenizing the asset allows
diversification of risk such that one owner won't be much
affected if the whole asset is damaged and lose its value
because he has invested in a part of different assets.
22

Low administrative costs


Tokenization diminishes the administrative costs: due to
excessive documentation because smart contracts instantly
execute agreements that improve the speed of settlements.

Availability of assets’ ownership history


Trust through verifiability, transparency, and immutability.
This is where regulation is critical as we are in the scammy
era of Blockchain today. Tokenizing the assets using block-
chain makes the asset securitization easier because the
owners can know the history of the asset about previous
ownership. Moreover, lawyers can make use of the transac-
tions history to transfer ownership of the asset. In this way,
the frauds like occupying land illegally, in the real estate
industry would be minimized as complete history would be
available.

Tokenization provides several other security advantages


owing to its major prospects like unique, unable to be imi-
tated, copied or double spent.
People often question how digital currencies can have value without
being backed by any tangible asset. The answer is: they are more
durable, divisible, fungible, scarce, and transferable than fiat
currencies. But there are several digital currencies backed by tangible
asset known as asset-backed tokens/coins. The most popular of
asset-backed digital currencies are Gold-backed coins that have
physical gold to sustain their value. The potential asset-backed coin
market size is much bigger and encompasses different assets such as
oil, gold, fiat currencies, diamonds, real estate, shares of companies,
artwork, intellectual property etc.
Each of the different categories of assets: tangible and intangible
assets (e.g., gold and copyright), fungible and non- fungible assets
(e.g. crude oil and artwork), movable and non-movable property (e.g.,
cars and real estate), requires a different procedure and protocol of
storing and tokenizing. Thus, it is needed that the assets must be held
by a trusted party who can issue them in the form of coins, consider
the substance of the assets, their storage capacity, and their valuation
mechanism.
24

The debit card payments have been increased massively as they have
doubled as compared in 2006. SGC PAY Debit Card functionality will
increase its demand owing to the huge usage potential of debit card
payments. A study conducted by the US Federal Reserve in 2016
found that the value of transactions made using debit cards in the US
rose from $2.1 trillion in 2012 to nearly $2.6 trillion in 2015; the
volume of transactions in the US increased from 56.5 billion in 2012 to
69.5 billion in 2015; that is an increase in value and volume of 23.81%
and 23%, respectively13.

In India, the number of transactions using debit cards doubled from


133.97 million to 267.51 million in a period of 12 months14. Similarly in
2016, there were 13.11 billion debit card transactions in the United
Kingdom; 3.74 billion in the Netherlands; and nearly 3 billion in Ger-
many. This upward trend is forecasted to continue which only enhanc-
es the need and demand for SGC coins. SGC will carry the essential
function of being able to be transferred between debit card holders as
a result of Master Card and Visa Card integration. Similarly, according
to statista, the USA has around 210 million Master Card debit cards in
circulation at that time. Not only this, the stats in this regard say that
there are 867 million debit cards being used by the users around the
globe15.

Most of the companies offering gold-backed digital currencies are
reluctant to store any physical gold for avoiding the headache of
security or any other risk involved. Moreover, they do not want to be
dependent on any third party to get involved in their systems to
ensure the security of their gold reserves. Secured Gold Coin with its
partners, is ready to face the challenges as they store physical gold in
a secure vault. Thus, when you become the user of SGC coins, the
physical gold equivalent to 60% part of your initially released SGC
coin will be attached to your wallet address and displayed on the SGC
Blockchain Explorer. So whenever a user buys SGC coins, a gold
certificate is attached to the wallet address of the user. Once the
certificate is issued, the wallet address shall remain the same even if
its traded to other addresses. Which means that the price and quantity
of gold mentioned on the certificate against the SGC coin being
purchased, will remain the same and cannot change on the re-selling,
valuation, or devaluation of the same coin.
Another reason that sets SGC apart from other asset-backed digital
currency based systems is its usability through the SGC PAY Debit
Card. Secured Gold Coin Pty Limited is providing its users with this
SGC PAY Debit Card functionality to increase the utility of SGC coins as
the users can purchase different items by making payments via SGC
PAY Debit Card: containing SGC coins.

The blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger that allows
secure, fast, and cost-efficient transactions to be made in no
time. With blockchain, the data stored cannot be changed once
entered which makes it an immutable distributed ledger. Being
a decentralized and distributed architecture, blockchain allows
everyone on the network, to take part in the transaction
validation mechanism called consensus making it a highly
trustworthy, secure, anti-fraudulent, and durable for data
storage.

Blockchain with its massive ability to secure the data provides


several features to its users like data transparency, immutability,
faster transactions, and most importantly, no third party
involvement in transaction propagation.

Due to these features, blockchain technology has been able to attract many of the industries so far in the recent times. The ultimate benefit of
blockchain is that it allows digital information to be distributed but not copied, which can be accessed by anyone but prevents attempts at deletion,
alterations, concealment, or falsification. Digital information can be duplicated over a network of thousands and this information can be updated
regularly which is then instantly reflected in the network. Irrespective of how many times SGC coins are sold, the ledger of accounts will reflect the
latest information. Each block in the blockchain consists of data that is embedded within the network as a whole, and by definition, it is within the
public domain.

SGC is one of next generation blockchain supporting Hybrid Coins (digital assets) - The coins of the future. SGC blockchain supports a hybrid coin that is
initially released with 60% Gold Backing, and 40% Utility. SGC Blockchain has been developed to enable far better Security, Stability, and Usability in the
decentralized world. By making the blockchain hybrid in nature and by attaching real world asset certifications to the gold and any asset that might get
registered in the future, SGC is aiming at making the world a secure place to be. SGC Blockchain can be compared to the others in the table.

SGC Consensus

In SGC blockchain, the transaction validation and reward distribution are carried through Proof of Work which is currently being used by bitcoin
and ethereum. In Proof of Work, when a transaction is broadcasted on the network, the miners start a battle of verifying the transaction by solving
a cryptographic puzzle hash. The one who solves the puzzle first will add the transaction into the block and broadcast it on the network. In return,
the miner gets a reward in the form of coins. However, there are some changes being implemented in the block generation and block reward
distribution in the SGC Blockchain.

Gold Certificate Issuance

All the transactions which have not been awarded a gold certification,
shall be awarded with a certificate by setting up a range of dates
(Starting date - Ending date) on which the blocks (containing those
transactions) were added on the blockchain. In this way, a gold
certificate is generated and attached for all these transactions. The
system also checks how much supply (SGC coins) added during these
dates and according to that supply the quantity of physical gold is
stored in the secured vault. Hence, all the transactions added during
the specified range (dates) shall have the same gold certificate with
the same certificate ID.

SGC has developed the SGC Blockchain explorer to let the users get
insights of the blockchain and activities happening within. The SGC Block-
chain explorer updates the users about insights of the SGC Blockchain from
its transactions to the blocks created, and even the difficulty of the blocks.
In addition to the traditional stats of a blockchain explorer, the SGC Explor-
er will also be providing the information regarding gold certificates as well.
This information shows details regarding the gold rates attached to the
initial wallets and the initial transactions. Thus SGC is providing with as
much transparency and trust to the users to make it easier and favorable for
them to trade SGC24.
