The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (the country’s central bank) said it is “finalizing” the creation of a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform to facilitate trading of digital tokens backed by gold, Bitcoin.com reported.

The central bank said the platform is expected to help reduce local demand for the dollar and that it has sold about 313.9 kilograms of gold-backed digital tokens so far.

Governor John Mangudya said the P2P platform is currently undergoing testing: “The second phase of the rollout of the digital gold token will begin this month, which will enable trading in gold-backed digital currencies. We are currently testing the system before rolling it out.”
