As seen on
“As the Russia-Ukraine war disrupts the global economy, sending markets on a roller coaster ride, gold remains hovering around $2,000 an ounce. Often seen as a safe haven in times of economic crisis, Jason Cozens, founder and CEO of gold-as-currency platform Glint Pay, joined Cheddar’s Opening Bell to discuss the latest gold rush, how the war is impacting prices, and how people can use Glint to trade in the precious metal.”
“Jason Cozens’ vision to create a company that would ‘democratise and digitise gold’, a commodity he describes as having been a trusted store of value for thousands of years, was prompted by the global financial crisis.
With a background in the virtual reality and e-commerce sectors, he founded Glint in 2015. The global-based payments system allows clients to save, spend and share real gold, and recently launched a dual US/UK round of crowdfunding through Seedrs and Republic.”
“The consumer appetite for alternative currencies has proven that there is a real desire and need for a viable alternative to the current monetary system. Whether it’s through gold as money, cryptocurrencies or a combination of the two, consumers are searching for more control over how they save and spend their money and wish to retain some independence from the financial institutions.”
