Strategic Partnerships & Business Expansion
🤝 Strategic Partnerships & Supply Chain Security
LumiVault has established exclusive strategic partnerships with SAG Group and KHURSHEDOV K Company, two major players in the gold and rare earth metals mining and trade sector. These alliances secure a stable annual import of 17 tonnes of gold, directly backing the LumiVault ecosystem and ensuring reliable token issuance.
Uzbekistan, with over 2,100 tonnes of gold reserves valued at ~$5 trillion, serves as a critical hub for LumiVault’s asset-backed infrastructure. The Korea-Uzbekistan TIPF agreement (2023) further enhances this pipeline by facilitating trade in strategic minerals, such as those essential for electric vehicles and semiconductor manufacturing.
