Shenyang: Vice President of the Alliance Yevgeny Shimanovsky on Utility Digital Rights (UDR) for Gold Coins

October 23, 2025, Shenyang.
The first day of the 3rd Russia–China Forum on Investment Development & Trade Cooperation set a businesslike tone: from the theme of industry–finance synergy to concrete solutions for settlements and capital raising. Chinese banks, exchanges, and investment platforms actively joined the dialogue, focusing on pilot projects and technological interoperability of infrastructures.

In the afternoon, Eurasian Business Alliance Vice President Yevgeny Shimanovsky took the floor. In his address, he presented utility digital rights (UDR) for gold coins.
The model is based on the issuance and circulation of UDR on specialized platforms authorized by the Bank of Russia, with technological traceability (blockchain), controlled settlements and issuer obligation performance, and reliance on national currencies within a modern digital ecosystem.

In his presentation, Shimanovsky showed why UDR for gold coins is particularly relevant under current conditions. On one of the slides he traced gold’s price dynamics since the 1970s: the metal has passed through several upward waves and has grown by roughly 125× in total, rising considerably faster than fiat currencies whose purchasing power is eroded by inflation and monetary cycles. In this context, UDR linked to a liquid, well-understood underlying asset serves as a transparent bridge between real value and the digital infrastructure for raising capital.

The presentation was highly informative and sparked clear interest in the topic among forum participants.
