Monetary Metals and AgaOne Forge Strategic Collaboration
Partnership to unlock over 5,000 tons of potential demand for gold yield
Dubai, UAE — Monetary Metals, a frontrunner in gold-denominated fixed income products, has formed a significant alliance with AgaOne, a premier gold trading and logistics firm in Turkey. This partnership aims to introduce the Monetary Metals Gold Yield Marketplace to the expansive Turkish gold market.
Bringing Gold Yield Products to Turkey
With this collaboration, AgaOne will utilize its local logistics and trading infrastructure, augmented by its AGA MX trading platform. Given their wealth of experience in Turkey’s gold sector, they are well-equipped to facilitate this venture. Monetary Metals will focus on generating new fixed income opportunities from Turkish gold industry participants while providing local investors access to an array of gold lease and bond products available on the Monetary Metals platform.
Market Insights and Potential Growth
Monetary Metals CEO Keith Weiner commented on the collaboration, expressing enthusiasm for the venture with AgaOne, a longstanding partner. "Turkey is a critical gold market globally, and combining AgaOne's local expertise with our international platform will lead to innovative solutions for investors."
Turkey stands out as the world’s third-largest gold consumer, trailing only India and China. Gold holds a significant place in Turkish households, representing about 15-20% of their savings. Currently, these households possess approximately 5,000 tons of gold, which can now begin to earn a yield through this partnership.
Future Expectations
AgaOne CEO Gokhan Yilmaz shared insights into their company’s rapid growth in gold trading and logistics. He believes this initiative will further boost that progress. “The concept of owning gold that generates yield is poised to become the preferred method of gold ownership in Turkey and potentially abroad,” he added.
The companies are actively working on the integration process and anticipate that yield-bearing gold products will be available to the Turkish market by the second quarter of 2026.
