Exhibit 99.1
I-ON Digital Corp (OTCQB: IONI) Uplisted to OTCQB Venture Market Amid Growing Demand for Digital Assets and Gold Tokenization
CHICAGO, IL – April 14, 2025 – I-ON Digital Corp (OTCQB: IONI), a pioneering fintech company specializing in real-world asset (RWA) digitization and blockchain-based gold tokenization, today announced its successful uplisting from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB Venture Market, a milestone that reflects the company’s commitment to transparency, innovation, and long-term value creation.
The uplisting marks a pivotal moment for I-ON Digital as it expands its leadership position in the rapidly developing space of digital gold, gold-backed stable coins, and in situ asset (in the ground) gold digitization. I-ON’s technology transforms verified gold reserves into secure, blockchain-based digital assets, which is resulting in increased levels of efficiency, transparency, and liquidity in the commodities marketplace.
“This uplisting to the OTCQB is more than a capital markets upgrade—it’s a signal to our investors, partners, and the broader fintech community that I-ON Digital is built for scale,” said Carlos X. Montoya, CEO of I-ON Digital Corp. “We’re harnessing the momentum around real-world asset tokenization and applying a laser focus to gold, one of the oldest and most trusted stores of value in history,” continued Montoya.
The company’s focus on in situ gold claim digitization—digitally representing verified, undeveloped gold reserves—offers an attractive alternative to traditional gold ETFs or physically backed tokens. By using I-ON’s proprietary validation and onboarding protocols and digital banking infrastructure, gold assets can now be integrated directly into the blockchain economy without ever being extracted, significantly reducing environmental impact and cost.
The uplisting comes at a time of surging global interest in real-world asset tokenization and blockchain-based financial infrastructures, as investors seek more stable, asset-backed alternatives to volatile crypto and equity markets.
