Goldbacks are more than just beautiful gold currency, they’re a symbol of sound money, individual freedom, and local value. But what if you live in a place where merchants don’t yet accept them? That’s where our online marketplace, Sound Money Market comes in.

Our marketplace is designed to bridge the gap between Goldbacks and the broader economy, giving you more flexibility in how you use your voluntary currency. Whether you’re looking to shop, dine, travel, or invest in crypto, our platform makes it easy to exchange your Goldbacks for the value you need and when you need it.

What You Can Get on the Marketplace

We’ve created two powerful categories for exchange:

1. Gift Cards

Turn your Goldbacks into digital gift cards from a wide range of categories:

  • Retail: Shop online or in-store at major retailers across the country.  Clothing, books, car parts, fishing gear, lumber, office supplies are just a few of the many products that can be bought with these gift cards from a wide range for retail stores.
  • Restaurants: Enjoy your favorite meals at popular national chains. Dine in, take out, or delivery. Steak, burger, or salad.  So much to choose from at these restaurants.
  • Travel: Book flights and hotels for your next adventure. Cruises, trains, and planes all can be booked from exchanging your Goldbacks.
  • Tickets: Access concerts, movies, sporting events, and entertainment experiences to add to the many golden possibilities through the Sound Money Market.

These gift cards allow you to spend your Goldbacks even in places where they’re not directly accepted, giving you the freedom to access these product and service through exchanging your Goldbacks.

2. Cryptocurrency

Are you looking to invest in or access yields with digital assets? Exchange Goldbacks for major cryptocurrencies, including: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Litecoin (LTC), USDC stablecoin, PAX Gold (PAXG) stablecoin, or Tether Gold (XAUt). PAX Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUt) are gold-backed stablecoins pegged 1:1 with physical gold. With PAX Gold and Tether Gold, you can continue to hold gold in digital form, no vaulting, no middlemen, just ownership you control and can instantly liquidate.

Why the Marketplace Matters

Our online marketplace empowers anyone to use Goldbacks in places where acceptance is limited. Whether you live in a state with few Goldback merchants or want to diversify your options, this platform ensures that your Goldbacks are a realistic and practical medium of exchange.
