SYDNEY, AU – 22/12/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – As investors seek diversified exposure beyond traditional portfolios, new hybrid structures are emerging at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital assets, and regulated finance. Against this backdrop, Leeds Capital and MIO Trust have announced a strategic collaboration to introduce an AI-driven multi-asset trust designed to integrate cryptocurrencies with precious metals—particularly gold and silver—within a regulated, institutional-grade framework.
Under the partnership, Leeds Capital will provide the trust’s legal and operational foundation, including compliance oversight, custody architecture, and governance structures. MIO Trust, together with its affiliate MIO Capital, will contribute quantitative investment expertise, proprietary AI trading systems for digital assets, and expert advisor (EA)-based trading models for gold and silver. The platform will also incorporate a decentralized application (DApp) and smart contract infrastructure that connects investors directly to the underlying strategies.
The MIO Trust platform is built around three core principles intended to bridge traditional finance standards with blockchain-enabled transparency. First, investor assets—covering both digital currencies and precious metals–linked accounts—are held in segregated trust structures overseen by Leeds Capital and maintained with regulated counterparties, supported by institutional controls, multi-factor security, and comprehensive audit trails. Second, MIO Capital’s AI engine executes cross-asset strategies across major cryptocurrencies as well as gold and silver markets via regulated exchanges and MT5 brokers, operating within predefined risk parameters and position limits. Third, performance data and allocation signals are recorded on public blockchains using oracle infrastructure, enabling smart contracts to automate unit accounting and income distribution while providing investors with an auditable record of strategy execution.
According to the MIO Trust whitepaper, the platform’s initial focus is on strategies that combine income generation and capital growth across digital assets and precious metals, without relying on cash-like instruments as a separate allocation sleeve. The product suite is expected to include AI-driven cryptocurrency strategies, quantitative EA programs for XAU/USD and XAG/USD, and blended mandates that dynamically shift allocations between selected digital assets and precious metals to balance growth potential with the defensive and diversification characteristics of gold and silver.
At the implementation level, MIO Trust is powered by MIO Capital’s proprietary technology stack, including AI-based trading software for cryptocurrencies and EA-driven models for precious metals. These strategies are delivered to investors through a self-developed DApp and smart contract framework that manages subscriptions, redemptions, and on-chain reporting. This structure is intended to lower minimum investment thresholds while maintaining transparency, traceability, and real-time visibility into positions and performance.
Governance and risk management form a central component of the collaboration. The platform incorporates comprehensive controls covering client onboarding and suitability assessments, counterparty and broker due diligence, operational risk management, and business continuity planning. Portfolio oversight follows a dual “AI plus human” review model, combining real-time risk dashboards, quantitative thresholds, and manual supervision. When predefined indicators are triggered, the system can automatically reduce risk exposure or shift allocations toward more defensive precious metal positions, with all actions logged for verification.
Designed as a retail-accessible platform supported by institutional-grade processes, MIO Trust will be offered in accordance with local eligibility and suitability requirements. Given the evolving regulatory landscape for cryptoassets and tokenized exposures, product materials emphasize risk disclosure, potential volatility, and structural considerations, and encourage investors to seek independent legal, tax, and financial advice. By combining Leeds Capital’s compliance-led trust infrastructure with MIO Trust’s AI-driven investment engine, the partners aim to deliver a differentiated solution for integrating cryptocurrencies, gold, and silver into a disciplined, dynamically managed long-term wealth strategy.
