GNRC is backed by a segregated reserve of Greenlandic rubies and sapphires — a finite resource with full traceability. Issued in Norway and aligned with EU MiCA rules, GNRC lets investors hold and trade exposure to these assets with live transparency on backing and value.

From Gems to Regulated Digital Ownership

The flow is simple: reserves are secured, GNRC is issued under a MiCA-aligned structure, and investors can track backing and value in real time.
Step 1

Reserves Secured

Rubies & sapphires are sorted and certified, then placed in independent vaulted custody with segregation controls. Third-party verification recurs on a regular basis.

Step 2

GNRC Issued

The Mint AS (Norway) issues GNRC under a MiCA-aligned framework. Each token is backed by the audited reserve using a conservative valuation basis.

Step 3

Invest & Track

GNRC trades on NBX with professional liquidity support. Holders monitor reserves, NAV, and audit materials through the live transparency dashboard.

For collectors & jewelry buyers, our legacy marketplace of ruby & sapphire NFTs remains available as a complementary path.

The Mint Marketplace (legacy): For collectors and jewelers. Each NFT represents a single vaulted stone with full traceability and defined redemption logistics.

Beyond Numbers: The Mint’s Principles

We are not just building a financial product. We are preserving gemstones that formed over billions of years — mined responsibly in Greenland, now safeguarded with transparent systems so their value and story can endure.

Sustainability

No new extraction. Each stone was mined under strict standards in Greenland. Scarcity is protected, not exploited.

Heritage

Every gem carries a billion-year story. Provenance is preserved and documented so its journey remains verifiable for generations.

Integrity

Independent audits, clear disclosures, and compliance-first design. Trust is not claimed — it is demonstrated.

Community

We connect investors, collectors, and makers. By aligning incentives, the ecosystem grows stronger and preserves cultural as well as financial value.

The idea is simple: protect what is rare, tell its story openly, and let people participate with confidence.
