Why it leads
Why Matrixdock Gold (XAUm) ranks #1
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (23.7 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest. Best in this ranking on 1 of 4.

Each line is the ranking run again with one of Matrixdock Gold (XAUm)’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.

Not for readers who put first
- The smallest amount an ordinary holder can turn back into metal — 6/10 against a category best of 9/10
Record watch-outs
- The strongest physical proof in the category sits on the weakest regulatory footing of the credible names. The docs page headed "Licenses and Certificates" lists exactly one item, and its fields read, line by line: "Hong Kong Customs and Exercise Department" (the page's own spelling), "MATRIX INFINITUS (HONG KONG) LIMITED", "Category A Registration No:", "A-B-25-03-08852", with a downloadable "Certificate of Registration for Category A Registrant.pdf" — a dealers-in-precious-metals registration, not a financial-services licence. The XAUm page also markets "XAUm offers physical redemption options in Hong Kong and Singapore, providing direct access to gold within Asia’s leading financial and bullion hubs" while the same page's own alert copy reads "Access from Hong Kong detected. Hong Kong is one of our restricted jurisdictions. XAUm and related services are not offered to persons residing in Hong Kong."

Facts
facts, not scoresWhat the record publishes
- Pricing
- Matrixdock XAUm page (www.matrixdock.com/xaum), fetched 28 October 2026. FAQ: "There is no management fee for XAUm in both ERC-20/BEP-20 and NFT forms. Mint fee is waived before XAUm TVL reaches $100M. A redemption fee of 0.25% is applicable." And: "The minimum amount for directly minting with Matrixdock is $10k, while the minimum redemption into stablecoins or physical gold is 32.148 XAUm, corresponding to a 32.148 fine troy ounce (1kg) gold bar." The page's primary quotes at fetch time: "Mint Price $ 4,059.25" and "Redeem Price $ 4,028.72", beside "Market Cap $70.47M", "Total Supply 17,359.913 XAUm", "Total Bullion Weight 17,359.920 Troy Oz." and "No. of Gold Bars 540". The page adds "Real-time price quote is available in the mint/redeem web-app." Supply is still under the waiver threshold, so minting stays fee-free; the spread between the two quotes is the real primary cost.Matrixdock Gold (XAUm) — official pricing page ↗ · 28 October 2026

Changes to published ranks are recorded in a ledger; every step and its cause is listed on the rank-history page. The entries below begin with the current verified snapshot, then the methodology versions whose changes applied to this category, newest first.
12 methodology entries
- 6 August 2026Current verified snapshot · methodology 2026.10.18Score 80, #1 of 7. 4 of 4 criteria scored. History starts here; earlier values are not interpolated.
- 15 October 2026
2026.10.10The live-data rule names the researched market measurements a criterion reads- changed The live-data rule names a second kind of figure a score reads: a researched, dated market measurement a criterion's ladder is built on, read again on the 45-day review. /methodology/live-data lists the 14 criteria that read one; no score, rank or order changes.
- changed A saved decision is checked again on the answers the reader saved. The drift check had merged a priority suggested by the market (price swings, gas) into those answers, so a market reading could move a saved decision's #1; the published ranking never read it.
- added On every build a test reads every criterion's published ladder: one that names a market quantity or a market-data source must be declared, and every scored row of a declared criterion must carry the source and the date its figure was read.

2026.10.8When nothing serves your country, the list shown for reference is the published ranking · platform-wide- fixed The reference list shown when nothing serves your country is the published order with the published scores, and a build check now fails any such list out of that order or with a score the ranking does not publish.
- fixed The explorer prints an overall rank only for a row the published ranking holds; a country entrant such as Coinbase Commerce for US merchants shows no overall rank.
- changed Published orders do not move. Country results change only where nothing serves the country: in India bill pay keeps Bitcoin Well first and now shows Strike second, as published; 35 such runs across all categories and countries now match the published list exactly.
- 10 October 2026
2026.10.7Forty-one more products are offered only where their own quoted terms serve- fixed 141 country exclusions on 31 rows, each the name of a country the row's own quoted terms exclude: for example Mercuryo Hungary, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Chile, Colombia and Morocco; Gemini Custody the United Kingdom, Australia and the EU after its wind-down; Backed xStocks the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Nigeria, the Philippines and Venezuela.
- changed Thirteen rows list the only countries their terms serve: Coins.ph the Philippines, Spritz bill pay, Brex, Unchained, WisdomTree, Franklin BENJI and AnchorWatch the United States (with its territories for AnchorWatch), PRYPCO Mint the UAE, N26 crypto seven EU countries, Gemini Tokenized Stocks the EU, XNET the US, Canada and the UK, Coldbit Steel and MetaMask Card the countries they list.
- changed Published (no-country) orders do not move. Country results change: in India six categories each lose one row (bill pay, cards, off-ramps, P2P, seed backup, tokenised real estate), and bill pay there has no row confirmed available, so it shows the published order marked as such; country pages list 23 fewer rows (24,357 to 24,334). The grounding test now matches full country names in any case, which shows seven earlier exclusions were quoted all along: the named debt of unquoted exclusions falls from 40 to 33 pairs.
