Currencies do not collapse overnight. They erode. Slowly at first, then more obviously. You see it in grocery bills. In rent that keeps climbing. In how far a dollar used to go, and how far it does not anymore.

Since 1913, the U.S. dollar has lost over 96 percent of its purchasing power. That did not happen because of one crisis. It happened because the system is built on debt and dilution. And in recent years, that pressure has only intensified.

‍

By the end of 2024, global debt had reached 315 trillion dollars. That is more than three times the size of the world economy. Inflation is not going away. Interest rates are elevated, but they have barely made a dent. The playbook that worked for decades is starting to fall apart, and capital is beginning to move with it.

You can see it happening in real time.

Gold has broken to all-time highs, outperforming equities and reasserting its place as a hedge. Silver has also been climbing, supported by a mix of monetary demand and industrial growth. Investors are moving back toward hard assets, the things that have preserved wealth across cycles of instability.

At the same time, a different kind of asset is gaining ground. Bitcoin is trading near ninety-five thousand dollars, driven by institutional inflows and growing adoption as a store of value. Even other cryptocurrencies, like XRP, are seeing renewed attention. With regulatory clarity now in place and real traction across banking networks, XRP is stepping into a role that is less speculative and more structural.

This is not about chasing hype. It is about protecting value in a system that no longer guarantees it.

Building True Protection Is Not Simple

Recognizing the problem is one thing. Solving it is another.

Buying gold sounds simple until you factor in premiums, storage, insurance, and liquidity.

Holding silver at scale comes with the same complications, often worse.

Crypto brings a different set of risks entirely. Custody, security, exchange failures, and constant platform risk all come into play.

Even public mining stocks and ETFs, while accessible, often come with volatility, dilution, and limited real-world exposure.

For most investors, building a true hedge against fiat decay means stitching together a patchwork of assets, custodians, and strategies. It is messy, expensive, and leaves critical gaps.

That is where the opportunity lies.

Digital Commodities Capital: A Simpler Approach to Real Value

‍

Digital Commodities Capital (CSE: RIPP | OTCQB: DGCMF) was built for this moment.

Rather than betting on a single metal, a single token, or a single company, it offers a diversified portfolio of high-conviction, non-fiat assets through a single public vehicle. That includes physical-backed exposure to gold and silver, strategic stakes in early-stage commodity equities, and one of the few institutional-grade crypto holdings available in public markets, XRP.

It is a structure designed for the environment we are in, where investors are not just looking to grow capital, but to protect it.

The Strategy Behind Digital Commodities Capital

‍

The strategy behind Digital Commodities Capital is simple. The company raises fiat capital and moves it into assets that have limited supply, strong underlying demand, and a role in the global economy that is not easily replaced.

It is not about guessing the next trend or trying to time markets quarter by quarter. It is about building a portfolio of non-fiat stores of value that can hold purchasing power over time, even as traditional currencies continue to weaken.

That includes physical-backed exposure to gold and silver, which have proven their role as stores of value across generations. It includes institutional-grade digital assets like XRP, where adoption is expanding across financial networks. It also includes early-stage positions in commodity-focused companies tied to critical supply chains and hard assets.

The goal is to stay ahead of the shift already underway, while giving investors a simpler and more direct way to access the kinds of assets that matter most when fiat starts to lose ground.

‍

Why XRP

‍

Gold and silver have earned their place as stores of value over generations. XRP has not. But that difference is exactly what makes it worth paying attention to.

Over the last year, the conversation around XRP has changed. It is not just about speculation anymore. After years of legal uncertainty, XRP now has regulatory clarity in the United States. The SEC’s case is over. Institutions finally have the green light to use and build around it without carrying legal risk.

At the same time, adoption has been picking up. Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity network, which uses XRP to settle cross-border payments, is now live across major banking corridors. Japan has already integrated XRP into parts of its banking system. Roughly 80 percent of Japanese banks are expected to be on board by the end of 2025. Even in the U.S., institutional products like XRP futures are starting to roll out, opening the door for broader access and liquidity.

XRP is never going to replace gold. It is not trying to. But it is one of the few digital assets that has a real use case, real adoption, and now real regulatory standing. In a world where fiat currency is weakening and payment systems are being rebuilt, XRP has carved out a role that is hard to ignore.

For Digital Commodities Capital, it fits the strategy. It is another piece of a portfolio built around assets that can carry real value through whatever comes next.

What They Hold Today

‍

As of January 2025, Digital Commodities Capital’s portfolio includes a mix of digital assets, hard commodities, and early-stage positions in companies tied to long-term macro trends.

Digital Assets

The company holds 85,000 XRP through Coinsquare, a CSA-regulated and audited exchange, giving investors clean, direct exposure to a digital asset with a growing real-world use case.

Digital Commodities Capital has also stated that it may add exposure to other high-utility networks, including Bitcoin, as the opportunity set expands.

Hard Commodities

The company currently holds units in the following physical commodity trusts:

Sprott Physical Silver Trust

Sprott Physical Uranium Trust

Sprott Physical Copper Trust

Each position offers direct exposure to the underlying metals through a transparent, physically-backed structure. Silver continues to see increased demand from both industrial and monetary sides. Uranium has been gaining momentum with renewed attention on nuclear energy. Copper remains critical for grid development, EV production, and energy infrastructure. These are core materials tied to long-term structural demand.

Early-Stage and Strategic Positions

In March 2025, Digital Commodities Capital made a $250,000 investment into GoldON Resources (TSXV: GLD), acquiring 10 million units at $0.025. Each unit included one common share and a warrant exercisable at $0.05 for two years. The structure gave Digital Commodities Capital roughly 16 percent ownership on an undiluted basis, and just over 27 percent if the warrants are exercised.

The deal also came with the right to nominate a representative to GoldON’s board, giving them a real seat at the table as the company advances its exploration plans. With GoldON shares now trading around $0.06, the position is already showing strong early gains.

At the time of the investment, Digital Commodities Capital already held two other early-stage positions. One is in a publicly listed exploration company focused on critical minerals, offering exposure to materials tied to energy transition and industrial infrastructure. The other is a private venture in blockchain finance, aimed at bridging traditional markets with decentralized asset ownership.

Each of those two positions represented about 19 percent of the early-stage allocation as of January 2025. With the addition of GoldON, the company now has three targeted early-stage holdings, each tied to sectors that align with the same broader thesis: rising demand for scarce assets, growing distrust in fiat-based models, and the search for value that is harder to dilute.

These are not trades. They are long-horizon positions built to benefit from structural shifts already underway.

Leadership That Knows the Terrain

‍

Digital Commodities Capital is led by Brayden Sutton, an experienced investor with a long history in commodities, digital assets, and early-stage markets. He was an early investor in Bitcoin and XRP and has been involved in building and backing over 100 early-stage companies across sectors tied to real-world value.

Sutton has led public companies through volatile markets and is the author of Money Mind: Beyond Speculation, a book focused on navigating speculative environments and understanding cycles.

In March 2025, the company appointed Dean Sutton as a strategic advisor. Dean has a strong background in blockchain, token infrastructure, and regulatory development, and is recognized as one of the more active figures in the Canadian crypto sector. His addition supports Digital Commodities Capital’s focus on assets positioned to grow in a shifting financial environment.

With the right leadership, a clear strategy, and real positions already in place, Digital Commodities Capital is built for the environment investors now find themselves facing.
