EPI 108 - Monetary Innovation - A New Form Of Gold, w/ Dr. Adam Trexler, President & Founder of Valaurum Inc.

On the 108th episode of the NewGen Mindset podcast, we host Dr. Adam Trexler. With him we focus on the theme of Monetary innovation. Valaurum seeks to evolve the use case for Gold in a new form, bringing to life the real meaning of a gold backed currency beyond the traditional use of coins and bullion. That new form is called Aurum® gold bills. To bring life back to gold and its function, the space needs new ideas and solutions to optimize its utility to have greater chances of penetrating the market as a use case in the 21st century. Valaurum, Inc. was founded by Dr. Adam Trexler in 2012 with the core mission to democratize gold ownership by making it available with universally accessible denominations and trusted security features. Valaurum has pioneered numerous proprietary technologies to create the Aurum®, the smallest unit of verifiable gold on the world market today. In recent years the Aurum® transitioned from a nearly unproducible invention to a viable product that heralds a new chapter in physical currency. Aurum® gold bills feature numerous modern security features and innovative printing methods that allow for full color, highly detailed artwork to be printed on both sides of each bill. This combination of high quality artwork and exclusive technology makes the Aurum® an important investment tool for any portfolio. Valaurum, Inc. has a world-wide exclusive license for this innovative proprietary technology, which is protected by US and international patents. Valaurum’s market share has experienced unprecedented growth, more than doubling in each of the last three years. Today, Valaurum has extensive product offerings available through diverse sales channels including television, national mint distributors, brick and mortar stores, and catalogs. Valaurum products are also available throughout North America, Europe and increasingly, Asia. Within the precious metals industry, Valaurum has become a recognized leader in minting. Valaurum has produced government issues in partnership with five countries and is rapidly expanding legal tender programs to other countries. Dr. Trexler pioneered innovative processes to produce the Aurum® including advanced security features, bill architecture, and new printing methods. He also led the acquisition of two other early-stage companies to augment Valaurum’s IP portfolio in addition to raising all capital for the start-up. Dr. Trexler continues to lead research and development initiatives at Valaurum. Inc. He is the primary inventor and first patent author of the KeyBill, the most secure form of physical cryptocurrency. He is also an inventor of numerous precious metal bill security features, with a patent issued in 2020 and several more in development. Prior to founding Valaurum, Dr. Trexler worked in academic research and venture capital. From 2008-2012, he was a professor and researcher at the University of Exeter and Queen Mary University of London, with numerous refereed publications relating to the history of culture and science, particularly with regard to credit, the gold standard, money and labor. Before his academic career, Dr. Trexler worked at Corporate Finance, Inc., structuring early stage companies to raise equity capital. https://valaurum.com/ #fiat #gold #goldmoney #monetaryinnovation #innovation #preciousmetals #silver #goldprice #commodities #monetarypolicy #currency #economy #economics #evolution #evolutionofmoney #silverprice #goldoutlook #priceoutlook #market #investing #wealth #preservation
