THE MINT
Pioneering a new era of commodity engagement
Who We Are
The Mint AS is a Norwegian fintech company founded by professionals from corporate finance, law, and technology. After years in traditional advisory, governance, and innovation roles, we saw a clear opportunity: to make tangible assets as transparent and investable as financial instruments.
We’re a small, focused team that enjoys challenging convention — combining regulatory discipline with the curiosity and energy of a startup. Our goal is simple: build the bridge between real assets and regulated digital finance, responsibly and transparently.
Vision
Make high-quality real assets transparently investable under clear, trusted regulation.
Mission
Issue and operate regulated, asset-referenced tokens with independent custody, third-party verification, and open reporting.
Our First Asset
Our first issuance, Greenland Reserve Coin (GNRC), is Europe’s first MiCA-registered asset-referenced token. Each GNRC token is backed by a verified reserve of Greenlandic rubies and sapphires — ethically sourced, securely stored, and independently audited in Bangkok.
GNRC demonstrates how real-world assets can be tokenized under full European compliance, creating a transparent link between on-chain tokens and off-chain value.
GNRC marks the first phase of The Mint’s asset tokenization model — designed for global scale under a regulated framework.
Leadership & Governance
We operate under a governance model that separates issuance, custody, and verification — supported by independent audits in Norway and Thailand.

Segregated Custody
Off-balance-sheet, segregated storage with dual-control procedures in Bangkok. Chain-of-custody documentation and vault reconciliations provide operational integrity.
Independent Reserve Audit
Physical inspection and sampling of the GNRC reserve by PA Professional Co., Ltd. in Thailand, verifying identity, quantities, and storage conditions.
Corporate & Custodian Audits
Annual financial audit by Revisorkonsult AS (Norway) and periodic review of custodian controls by SD Audit Completion Co., Ltd. (Thailand).
What Makes Us Different
A foundation built on real assets, transparent governance, and long-term value creation — not speculation.
Built on Collateral. Where most token projects begin with code, we began with real, documented, independently verified reserves.
Regulated Issuance. GNRC is issued under the EU MiCA framework, aligning on-chain assets with European regulatory standards.
Permanent Reserve. A finite, insured reserve with transparent controls supports long-term scarcity and investor confidence.
Institutional Governance. Multiple layers of audit and segregation bring institutional-grade assurance to digital assets.
The Human Side
We believe financial innovation should be built on clarity, not complexity.
We combine the precision of finance with the curiosity of technology — and a genuine enthusiasm for building something that lasts.
A small team with fresh ideas, focused on one mission: making real assets trustworthy on-chain.
