Scope Prime, the institutional arm of Rostro Group, has completed the full rollout of DIGIXAU, a gold contract-for-difference (CFD) product designed to trade continuously, including during evenings and weekends. The firm said the launch extends its gold trading access beyond conventional market hours, enabling institutional clients to manage exposure around the clock.
Traditional gold markets typically shut on Friday evening and reopen late Sunday, leaving a period during which traders are exposed to news and price movements without the ability to adjust positions. Scope Prime said DIGIXAU is intended to close this window by maintaining a continuous order book through the weekend, allowing clients to hedge gold positions, adjust exposure and manage risk as events unfold.
The product is structured as a CFD, keeping it within Scope Prime's existing over-the-counter liquidity framework. By aligning DIGIXAU with its OTC model, the firm aims to provide institutional clients with a mechanism to access gold price exposure without relying on the operating hours of traditional exchanges.
Use of crypto CFD infrastructure
DIGIXAU sits within Scope Prime's crypto CFD infrastructure, which the company has been building out over the past year. The same framework that supports continuous trading in crypto markets underpins the 24/7 gold exposure, making round-the-clock trading technically feasible in a CFD format.
The product is offered through MMCD Resources Ltd, which is regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the Seychelles. This is the same entity that governs Scope Prime's digital asset CFD business. Scope Prime previously expanded its crypto CFD offering to 77 new instruments and moved to round-the-clock trading in August 2025, later integrating liquidity from major crypto exchanges and market makers to deepen its order book and improve pricing.
Strategic and market context
According to Daniel Lawrance, Chief Executive Officer at Scope Prime, the introduction of DIGIXAU is taking place amid what he described as unprecedented global economic uncertainty. He said access to safe-haven assets has become increasingly important and argued that DIGIXAU provides what traditional gold products cannot: the ability to trade and manage positions at any time, including weekends.
Lawrance added that as more market-moving events occur outside standard trading hours, uninterrupted access to gold exposure is becoming more critical for institutional clients. The continuous trading capability is intended to give market participants additional tools to respond to off-hours developments that might affect gold prices.
Rostro Group has been expanding its regulatory footprint and market reach. The group secured a Category 5 license in the UAE in late 2025, extending its presence as it continues to move into new markets. The rollout of DIGIXAU adds a continuously tradable gold CFD to Scope Prime's institutional offering, leveraging its established digital asset trading infrastructure and Seychelles-based regulatory framework.
