NatGold Digital Addresses NATG Trading Delay Amid Project Tokenization
NatGold Digital has completed the tokenization of its second U.S. gold property but faces an unexplained delay in the cryptocurrency's trading debut on Kraken.
NatGold Digital Ltd. announced the completion of its second Certified NatGold Resource tokenization, increasing its total NATG tokens generated and minted to 106,800. This milestone was achieved through the tokenization of the Alaska 4 patented mining claim at the Friday Gold mine in Idaho, adding 49,600 NATG tokens.
The company also acknowledged that the anticipated trading start for NATG on Kraken, scheduled for 10:00 a.m. EDT on July 8, 2026, has not yet commenced. NatGold Digital has not been informed of the reason for the delay or when trading is expected to begin, leaving shareholders and interested parties awaiting further updates.
This follows the initial tokenization of patented claims 45 and 46 at the Cahuilla Gold project in California on June 30, 2026, which generated 57,200 NATG. Combined, these tokenizations represent the first completed applications of NatGold Digital's digital mining model to Certified NatGold Resources, generating 106,800 NATG tokens recorded on the Ethereum blockchain.
CEO Andrés Fernández stated that the completion of these dual tokenizations establishes a significant foundation for NATG, demonstrating the scalability of the company's digital mining model across diverse, qualifying gold resources. Mark Radke, President, emphasized the integrity of the NATG token, which relies on rigorous geological, technical, legal, and title reviews before minting, ensuring a disciplined and repeatable process.
The company has made supporting technical documentation and applicable Tokenization Certificates publicly accessible via references linked to its smart contract on Etherscan. The model is designed to ensure that each resource meets recognized geological reporting standards and completes all necessary company reviews prior to token minting.
