According to TechFlow, on October 17, CoinDesk reported that Swarm Markets, a physical asset (RWA) platform certified by the German regulator BaFin, announced a partnership with OrdinalsBot to introduce physical gold investment to the Bitcoin network for the first time. This innovative service uses the Ordinals protocol to engrave unique gold bar serial numbers on satoshis, enabling tokenized transactions of physical gold on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Swarm Markets co-founder Timo Lehes said the move allows investors to no longer have to choose between physical gold and digital gold, but to hold both at the same time. The service will be the first physical asset available on the Trio market developed by OrdinalsBot and is expected to be launched before the end of this year.
