Our Tokens
Through the power of inventory Metex provides widespread access to metals ownership, otherwise out of reach to everyday retail investors. Metex handles all of the heavy lifting, taking care of the security and storage of precious and base metals. We believe mitigating the barriers of entry into these traditional markets is important and through blockchain technology we’re excited to provide this access to our users.
