Platico SA has announced progress on its OPICO Digital Platinum Coin project, which is intended to combine digital token features with links to platinum and platinum-sector holdings. The company expects to release further details ahead of a planned launch in 2026, once required regulatory clearances have been obtained.
Sector Development and Design
OPICO is being developed to reflect platinum-related value through a combination of physical platinum custody and shares in established mining companies. According to Platico, custody is planned in secure facilities located in Switzerland, Canada, and the United Kingdom, while associated mining shares will be held by a trust managed by an affiliated entity.
This approach follows other recent digital metal projects and is intended to contribute to broader awareness and development of the platinum sector.
Market Context
Platico notes that while gold currently trades well above production costs, platinum’s present market price remains close to its mining costs, with very limited above-ground stock. Platinum’s rarity and reputation as a durable store of value have increased its appeal in today's environment, where users are looking for alternatives that retain their qualities across economic and policy changes.
Timeline
The OPICO Digital Platinum Coin is scheduled for a prospective launch in 2026, pending regulatory clearance. Additional details will be provided once approvals are secured.

FCA Risk Warning and Key Risks
Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.
Key risks to consider:
Digital currency is a form of money that exists only in digital form and is not tangible like physical currency. It can be used for online transactions and is often decentralized.
Investment risk refers to the potential for loss of value in an investment. It can arise from various factors, including market volatility, economic changes, and specific asset performance.
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. It operates on a technology called blockchain and is decentralized, meaning it is not controlled by any central authority.
