Commodity Investment on a SLVR Platter

Mesh has added another commodity-based asset to the growing selection of investment options available on our platform. Silverbits SLVR is a tokenised financial asset fully backed by 99.9% fine silver (.999-fine silver), stored in the secure Union Vault facilities and insured by Lloyds of London.

“It’s a digital gateway to physical silver, providing portfolio diversification through tokenised precious metals exposure,” says Mesh MD Connie Bloem. “The Silverbits SLVR token addresses unmet demand for accessible physical silver exposure and provides investors with an on-ramp to tokenised real-world precious metals.”

By converting physical silver into programmable digital tokens, SLVR delivers secure, fractional ownership in any increment – combined with on-chain proof-of-reserves, securely vaulted, audited monthly.

“It’s an ideal asset for retail investors who are seeking portfolio diversification, professional advisors who want to add industrial-demand exposure, and institutional treasuries that are parking idle cash,” says Bloem.

Tokenised Silver

Each SLVR token equals exactly 1 troy ounce (31.1055 g) of 99.9% fine silver. And because it’s tokenised, it can be fractionalised. “SLVR offers fractional ownership, which means you can buy any amount,” says Bloem. “There’s no need for large purchases or storage concerns.”

And as a digital token, Mesh offers investors on-chain transparency, with monthly attestation-of-reserves and full audit data.

“SLVR brings the certainty of physical silver into the speed and simplicity of digital markets,” says Bloem. “You can execute a spot trade on Mesh, you can trade it on our DEX, and you can redeem it. This means that from day one, you can buy, hold, trade, or redeem real, investment-grade silver in the exact amount that suits you.”

The asset also offers a flexible exit, in that you can redeem your tokens for physical silver bars or sell your holdings and defund into cash – whichever suits your strategy. As an investor, you get the depth and credibility of a vaulted bullion with the flexibility and speed of a digital instrument.

That flexibility is worth underlining. As a digital tokenised asset, SLVR – and, by extension, silver liquidity – can be accessed 24/7, from wherever you are in the world, via the Mesh.trade platform, without any vault queues or minimum lift-outs.

The Investment Case for Silver

For centuries, silver has served as both a store of value and an industrial commodity. For investors, this dual identity creates a rare blend of defensive and growth characteristics. Like gold, physical silver is widely regarded as a safe-haven asset.

Silver is still relatively affordable and accessible, being significantly cheaper than gold, and like gold, silver can act as a hedge during economic downturns or periods of inflation. As an investment asset, it typically has a low correlation with stocks, moving independently of traditional equity markets, which can help investors balance their portfolios during times of volatility.

Silver also has high utility and high industrial demand, being used in electronics, solar panels, medical devices, and even water purification systems. Demand for silver in green technologies and electric vehicles is also rising, which could support its long-term value.

“SLVR converts silver’s long-term conviction into day-to-day tradability,” says Bloem. “In a world of inflation risk, currency volatility, and rising demand from electronics and renewables, tokenised silver offers efficient, fractional participation without the logistical burden of bars or coins.”
