{"slug":"buy-ishares-gold-trust-token","question":"Can I buy iShares Gold Trust (IAU) as a token — and from which issuers?","answer":"Yes — iShares Gold Trust exists as a token from 4 issuers in our data: IAU.RP (BG El Salvador, S.A. de C.V.), IAU (Dinari), IAUon (Ondo Global Markets), tIAU (S01 Issuer GmbH), on 6 chains (Arbitrum, Morph, Ethereum, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Base).","shortAnswer":"Yes — iShares Gold Trust exists as a token from 4 issuers in our data: IAU.RP (BG El Salvador, S.A. de C.V.), IAU (Dinari), IAUon (Ondo Global Markets), tIAU (S01 Issuer GmbH), on 6 chains (Arbitrum, Morph, Ethereum, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Base). 1 is for accredited or professional investors only. None registers a iShares Gold Trust unit in your own name — you hold a claim on the issuer, so the issuer’s structure and terms matter as much as the stock.","asOf":"2026-10-16","faq":[{"q":"Is a IAU token the same as owning iShares Gold Trust units?","a":"No. A token tracks the price, but the legal claim is on the token’s issuer — a tracker certificate, an SPV share, or a derivative — not a unit in your name with a broker. Voting rights are usually not passed on; dividends are paid out, reinvested or not passed on depending on the issuer."},{"q":"Where can I trade IAU tokens?","a":"Depends on the issuer: some trade on decentralised exchanges on their chain, some only inside the issuer’s or a partner exchange’s app. Each token’s page in the table names where it trades."},{"q":"Which of them can I buy without KYC?","a":"None of them is stated as buyable without KYC. 1 explicitly require it."}],"count":4,"rows":[{"ticker":"IAU.RP","name":"iShares Gold Trust (Reality rIAU)","issuer":"BG El Salvador, S.A. de C.V.
