2. Product description
XAGa is a tokenized silver commodity product issued on the XRP Ledger. Each XAGa is intended to correspond to one fine troy ounce of silver exposure through physical silver reserves.
| Reserve Component | Purpose |
|---|
| Physical Silver | Primary reserve backing |
| Custody Records | Reserve verification support |
| Insurance Materials | Physical holding protection scope |
| Supported Settlement Assets | Digital redemption and settlement support |
| Restricted Records | Detailed holdings, custodian statements and audit materials by request |
XAGa is not a fiat currency, bank deposit, money market fund, share, unit in an ETF, debt instrument or legal tender.
3. Unit reference
1 XAGa = 1 fine troy ounce of silver
This unit reference is used for reserve measurement, valuation, issuance and redemption calculations.
Holding XAGa does not mean that the holder owns a specific numbered silver bar or custodian account. Holder rights are contractual and limited to the rights expressly stated in these Product Terms.
4. Legal nature of XAGa
XAGa represents a contractual right against the issuer according to these Product Terms. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, XAGa does not provide specific bar ownership, shareholder rights, bank deposit protection, a government guarantee or unconditional physical delivery.
| Right Not Granted | Explanation |
|---|
| Specific bar ownership | Holders do not own identified bullion bars unless a physical redemption is approved and completed. |
| Direct custodian account rights | Holders do not directly control vault accounts, custodian records or insurance arrangements. |
| Shareholder rights | No voting, dividend or equity rights are provided. |
| Bank deposit protection | XAGa is not a bank deposit or insured account. |
| Unconditional physical delivery | Physical redemption is conditional, limited and subject to eligibility. |
5. Reserve methodology
The issuer maintains reserves in accordance with the published XAGa Reserve Methodology. The reserve objective is to maintain reserve assets with a silver-equivalent value equal to or greater than total XAGa obligations outstanding.
| Reserve Asset | Indicative Policy |
|---|
| Physical Silver | At least 100% of outstanding XAGa obligations |
| Reserve Buffer | Target published coverage of 102.3% where practical |
| Custody and Verification Records | Maintained for reconciliation, review and restricted-record access |
| Cash, Cash Equivalents and Settlement Assets | Operational settlement support, not primary reserve backing |
These policies may temporarily vary due to issuance activity, redemption activity, market disruption, settlement timing, custodian transfers, operational liquidity needs or extraordinary events.
6. Reserve coverage
The issuer seeks to maintain a reserve coverage ratio of at least 100.00%.
Coverage Ratio = Net Reserve Value / Total XAGa Obligation Value
Total XAGa obligation value is generally calculated by multiplying XAGa outstanding by the applicable silver reference price. Coverage calculations may reflect fees, liabilities, settlement obligations, valuation adjustments, counterparty haircuts and other product-related deductions.
7. Issuance
New XAGa may be issued when the issuer determines that sufficient reserve assets have been acquired, allocated, confirmed or otherwise made available under the Reserve Methodology.
The issuer may issue XAGa through direct institutional subscription, authorized participant creation, treasury release, market-making operations or other approved issuance channels. The issuer shall not knowingly release XAGa into circulation if doing so would cause reserve coverage to fall below the required threshold.
8. Transfers and holding requirements
XAGa is issued on the XRP Ledger as an issued currency. The issuer may require holders to satisfy eligibility, onboarding, wallet verification, jurisdictional and compliance requirements before they may hold, receive, transfer, trade or redeem XAGa.
If authorized trustline controls are enabled, only approved XRPL accounts may hold or receive XAGa. Transfers may be delayed, rejected or restricted where required by law, sanctions rules, court order, regulatory direction, issuer policy, network conditions, technical issues or compliance review.
9. Trading
XAGa may trade on XRPL markets, including XAGa / USDV, and may also trade against RLUSD, XRP, USDC or other supported pairs. The market price of XAGa may differ from the reference value due to liquidity, demand, supply, volatility, redemption availability, fees, network conditions or market disruption.
The issuer does not guarantee secondary market liquidity, exchange availability, price stability or continuous trading.
10. Digital redemption
Eligible holders may redeem XAGa for supported digital settlement assets. The issuer may add, remove, pause or replace supported settlement assets at any time where operationally, commercially or legally necessary.
| Settlement Asset | Network |
|---|
| USDV | XRPL |
| RLUSD | XRPL |
| USDC | Stellar |
| USDT | TRC20 |
Digital Redemption Value = Redeemed XAGa x Silver Reference Price - Applicable Fees - Settlement Costs
Redeemed XAGa may be burned, locked, returned to treasury or otherwise removed from circulating supply according to issuer procedures.
11. Physical redemption
Physical delivery may be available upon request for eligible holders who redeem 1,000 XAGa or more. The issuer-approved delivery hubs are London, Zurich, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR. Physical redemption is not offered in the United States. Every request remains subject to written issuer confirmation, custodian capacity, identity verification, compliance review, fees, taxes, duties, delivery logistics and full satisfaction of these Product Terms.
| Requirement | Condition |
|---|
| Minimum Amount | 1,000 XAGa |
| Delivery Hubs | London, Zurich, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR, subject to availability |
| United States | Physical redemption is not offered |
| Custodian Availability | Silver must be available through an approved delivery arrangement |
| Identity Verification and Compliance | Required before confirmation |
| Fees, Taxes and Duties | Responsibility of redeemer |
Physical delivery may be fulfilled through custodian release, approved collection, insured shipment or another approved method. The issuer may reject, delay or modify a request if it cannot be completed lawfully, safely, commercially or operationally.
12. Physical redemption residuals
Physical silver bars may not exactly match the requested redemption amount. Where bar size, bar weight, custodian procedures or delivery mechanics create a residual difference, the issuer may settle the residual digitally, require the holder to adjust the redemption amount, apply a cash or stablecoin adjustment, deliver the closest available bar configuration or use another commercially reasonable method stated in the Redemption Policy.
13. Redemption eligibility
The issuer may require redemption applicants to provide identity, address, wallet ownership, source of funds, tax, sanctions, jurisdictional, delivery and custody documentation. The issuer may refuse redemption where required by law, regulation, sanctions policy, court order, regulatory direction, internal compliance policy, operational risk or incomplete documentation.
14. Fees
XAGa may be subject to issuance, redemption, custody, physical delivery, network, compliance, market disruption, FX or settlement fees. Fees are set out in the XAGa Fee Schedule and may be amended from time to time.
15. Valuation
The value of XAGa is determined according to the published valuation policy. The issuer may use recognized silver benchmarks, spot silver data, exchange prices, broker marks, custodian statements, physical silver records, stablecoin values and other reasonable data sources.
XAGa Reference Value = Net Reserve Value / XAGa Outstanding
During market disruption, the issuer may use backup pricing sources, delayed pricing, fair value estimates, valuation haircuts or adjusted settlement procedures.
16. Reserve reporting
The issuer may publish a reserve transparency dashboard showing selected metrics such as XAGa outstanding, reserve value, physical silver holdings, silver-equivalent ounces, coverage ratio and independent review status. Some supporting documents may be restricted and available only to approved parties.
17. Restricted records
Certain records may contain sensitive commercial, custody, operational, counterparty or security information. Restricted records may include detailed custodian statements, bar lists, insurance certificates, verification documentation, internal control procedures, compliance reports, independent review materials and legal opinions.
Exact provider identities, facility addresses, bar or serial lists, transport routes, insurance schedules, internal reconciliations, audit workpapers and counterparty records are confidential. Access may require a verified restricted-record request, legitimate purpose, registered customer status, confidentiality undertakings and issuer approval; records may be redacted, delayed or withheld where security, privacy, contractual, legal or regulatory interests require.
18. No investment advice
The issuer does not provide investment, legal, tax, accounting, financial, commodity trading or regulatory advice. Information published about XAGa is provided for product information purposes only. Holders should conduct their own assessment and seek independent advice before acquiring, holding, transferring or redeeming XAGa.
19. Risk factors
Holding XAGa involves risk, including silver price risk, reserve asset risk, custody risk, insurance risk, liquidity risk, redemption risk, physical delivery risk, stablecoin risk, blockchain risk, regulatory risk, operational risk, sanctions risk and tax risk.
| Risk | Description |

20. Market disruption events
A market disruption event may include silver market closure, benchmark unavailability, custodian restriction, brokerage disruption, banking or settlement failure, stablecoin depeg or freeze, XRPL outage, sanctions, court order, regulatory action, force majeure, war, cyberattack, natural disaster or systemic market failure.
During a disruption, the issuer may delay issuance, suspend redemptions, change pricing sources, apply valuation adjustments, modify settlement procedures, pause transfers or take other commercially reasonable actions.
21. Suspension rights
The issuer may suspend or limit issuance, transfers, trading support, redemptions or physical delivery due to legal or regulatory requirements, sanctions obligations, market disruption, reserve shortfall, custodian or broker failure, suspicious activity, fraud, error, security incident, network disruption, operational maintenance or protection of holders and reserve integrity.
22. Undercoverage event
An undercoverage event occurs when the issuer determines that the reserve coverage ratio has fallen below 100.00%. Upon an undercoverage event, the issuer may suspend new issuance, add reserve assets, rebalance reserves, use issuer capital where appropriate, limit or delay redemptions, publish a notice if material and take commercially reasonable action to restore coverage.
23. Excess coverage
If the reserve portfolio exceeds required coverage, the issuer may retain the excess as a reserve buffer or manage it according to the Product Terms and Reserve Methodology. No holder has a claim to excess reserves unless expressly stated in these Product Terms.
24. Tax responsibility
Each holder is solely responsible for determining and satisfying any tax obligations arising from acquiring, holding, transferring, trading or redeeming XAGa. The issuer may request tax information and may withhold, report or deduct amounts where required by law.
25. Compliance and restricted jurisdictions
XAGa may not be available in all jurisdictions. Physical redemption is limited to approved arrangements in London, Zurich, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR and is not offered in the United States. The issuer may restrict access by person, jurisdiction, wallet, platform, transaction type or redemption route, and may reject or suspend any holder or transaction where it believes there may be sanctions, money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, market abuse, regulatory, tax reporting, circumvention or operational risk.
26. Wallets and private keys
Holders are responsible for maintaining control of wallets, private keys, seed phrases and signing devices. The issuer is not responsible for losses caused by lost private keys, compromised wallets, incorrect destination addresses, phishing, malware, user error, irreversible blockchain transactions or unsupported wallets and networks.
27. Network and token standard
XAGa is issued on the XRP Ledger. The issuer may also support wrapped, bridged or mirrored versions of XAGa on other networks, but such versions may be subject to separate terms. A holder must not assume that XAGa on another network has the same rights, redemption treatment or transferability as native XRPL XAGa unless expressly stated by the issuer.
28. Amendments
The issuer may amend these Product Terms, the Reserve Methodology, the Redemption Policy, the Fee Schedule or related documents. Material amendments may be published on the XAGa product page. Emergency amendments may take effect immediately where required to protect the product, holders, reserves, legal compliance, settlement integrity or operational security.
29. Termination or product wind-down
The issuer may terminate, wind down or restructure XAGa if it determines that continued operation is not commercially, legally, operationally or technically viable. Upon wind-down, the issuer may stop new issuance, suspend secondary support, establish a final redemption window, liquidate reserve assets, pay eligible holders in supported settlement assets, apply final valuation and fees, and burn, lock or retire redeemed tokens.
30. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the issuer shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages, including loss of profit, opportunity, data, market loss, trading loss, tax liability or blockchain transaction error.
