But who will calculate the Gold Value on the Market during the Exchange

The market itself determines the gold value — not the trust alone.

If GOLDENBOY TRUST tokenized gold on the XRP Ledger, the token price would normally follow the global spot price of gold.

How it works

Global Gold Price

Gold already has an international market price called:

Spot Gold Price (XAU/USD)

This is determined by:

  • global exchanges
  • supply and demand
  • institutional trading
  • central banks
  • futures markets

Main pricing centers include:

  • London Bullion Market
  • COMEX

Example

Suppose:

1 Token = 1 gram gold

If global gold price is:

$100 USD per gram

then:

1 token ≈ $100 USD

The blockchain does NOT calculate the value itself.

The market price feeds into the ecosystem.

How Exchanges Determine Price

On XRPL or exchanges:
buyers and sellers trade the token.

Example:

  • someone willing to buy at $99
  • another willing to sell at $101

Market settles near spot gold value.

Important Part — Peg Stability

To keep the token near gold value:

GOLDENBOY TRUST must:

  • guarantee redemption
  • maintain reserves
  • allow audits

Because if users trust:

1 token = redeemable 1 gram gold

then arbitrage keeps price stable.

Example Arbitrage

If token trades too low:

Token market price = $80
Actual gold value = $100

people buy cheap tokens and redeem gold.

That pushes price back up.

Institutional Price Feeds (Oracle Systems)

Some systems use:

  • price oracles
  • API feeds
  • commodity data providers

Examples:

  • Bloomberg
  • Reuters
  • LBMA feeds

These update:

  • wallet displays
  • exchange rates
  • trading systems

XRPL Issued Asset Example

On XRPL:

Currency: XAU
Issuer: GOLDENBOY TRUST

The token itself only represents ownership.

The market decides:

  • current trading value
  • liquidity
  • demand

Real Gold-Backed Tokens Work This Way

Examples:

  • PAX Gold
  • Tether Gold

They track global gold prices automatically through market trading.

Most Important Principle

The token price is trusted because:

users believe the gold can actually be redeemed.

Without redemption:
the peg can collapse.

Simple Flow

Global Gold Price
        ↓
Gold Reserve Value
        ↓
Token Market Trading
        ↓
Exchange Price

So:

  • GOLDENBOY TRUST issues the asset
  • the global market determines value
  • trust and redemption maintain stability.
