Goldbacks Hit Record High as Gold Continues Its Momentum
Recent trends in the gold market are sending a clear message: gold is in demand like never before. This month, the Goldback exchange rate soared past $7.00, reaching an all-time high of $7.32. The surge comes amid a broader gold rally, with Reuters reporting a 38% increase in gold prices so far this year and a rising interest in gold as an investment.

Analysts suggest that if current economic uncertainties continue, gold could reach $4,000 an ounce within the next year. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar has fallen nearly 11% since January. This contrast shows that as traditional currencies face pressure, people are turning toward gold. Fortunately, the Goldback network is expanding to meet that demand.
The rollout of the Oklahoma series, combined with Arizona’s launch in November and Idaho’s debut in 2026, shows how quickly the network is growing. Since our last update in August, the merchant base has also increased by nearly 10%.
With each new series, Goldbacks become more accessible. With each new merchant, they become more practical for daily use. As the network grows alongside this historic gold rally, one thing is clear: gold is shaping the future of money.
