||
|
||
**Issued by:** Digital Bank of International Settlements (DBIS)
|
||
|
||
**Prepared for:** Global Regulators, Sovereign Central Banks, Supranational Monetary Authorities, Regional Reserve Councils

# EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
|
||
|
||
The **Global Reserve Unit (GRU)** is a supranational, commodity-anchored, quantum‑secure monetary instrument designed to function as:
|
||
|
||
* A global reserve asset
|
||
* A stabilizing unit of account
|
||
* A multi‑asset settlement medium across fiat, CBDC, commodity, and synthetic instruments
|
||
* A cross‑reality monetary anchor across DBIS classical, quantum, metaverse, and temporal fabrics
|
||
|
||
Its architecture incorporates:
|
||
|
||
* XAU‑anchored valuation
|
||
* Multi‑metal index system (LiXAU, LiPMG, LiBMG1–3)
|
||
* GRU bond instruments (Li99PpOsB10, Li99PpAvB10)
|
||
* Supranational issuance governance
|
||
* GAS → Ω‑Layer finality settlement pipeline
|
||
* Stress‑tested, regulator‑grade transparency models
|
||
|
||
This whitepaper establishes the full **regulatory, legal, and supervisory framework** for GRU adoption.

# 1. INTRODUCTION
|
||
|
||
The GRU is a DBIS‑governed reserve instrument designed to:
|
||
|
||
* Provide systemic stability across global markets
|
||
* Reduce reliance on single‑currency reserve regimes
|
||
* Enable sovereign‑scale liquidity pooling
|
||
* Support both classical and digital settlement ecosystems
|
||
|
||
It aligns with international frameworks:
|
||
|
||
* **ISO 4217** (currency codes)
|
||
* **ISO 6166** (ISIN issuance)
|
||
* **ICC UCP 600** (commodity documentation)
|
||
* **FATF** AML/CTF standards
|
||
* **BIS Core Principles for Systematically Important Payment Systems (CPSIPS)**
|

# 2. GRU MONETARY STRUCTURE
|
||
|
||
## 2.1 GRU Units
|
||
|
||
* **M00 GRU** — Sovereign Master Tier
|
||
|
||
* **M0 GRU** — Institutional Tier
|
||
|
||
* **M1 GRU** — Market & Commercial Tier
|
||
|
||
## 2.2 GRU Valuation Rule (Metal‑Anchored)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
GRU → XAU → Global Asset/Currency
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
# 3. GRU INDEX SYSTEM
|
||
|
||
The GRU uses a suite of metal‑based indices:
|
||
|
||
* **LiXAU** — Gold anchor index
|
||
|
||
* **LiPMG** — Platinum/Palladium mixed index
|
||
|
||
* **LiBMG1** — Copper/Nickel/Zinc
|
||
|
||
* **LiBMG2** — Aluminum/Tin/Lead
|
||
|
||
* **LiBMG3** — Lithium/Cobalt/REE strategic basket
|
||
|
||
Each index may receive:
|
||
|
||
* **ISIN** via DBIS/OMDN‑CB Registrar
|
||
|
||
* **CUSIP** for North American listings
|
||
|
||
* **QTID** for quantum‑ledger binding
|
||

|
||
# 4. GRU BOND SYSTEM (Li99PpOsB10 / Li99PpAvB10)
|
||
|
||
## 4.1 Purpose
|
||
|
||
The dual‑bond system manages long‑horizon liquidity, sovereign reserve expansion, and cyclical monetary stabilization.
|
||
|
||
### Bond Types:
|
||
|
||
* **Li99PpOsB10** — 99‑year perpetual offset bond
|
||
|
||
* **Li99PpAvB10** — 99‑year perpetual avail bond
|
||
|
||
Both include:
|
||
|
||
* 10‑year buy‑back mechanism
|
||
|
||
* 85% discount acquisition model
|
||
|
||
* Loop‑based GRU liquidity expansion (7→10→9.55 cycles)
|
||

|
||
|
||
# 5. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
|
||
|
||
## 5.1 Legal Foundation

|
||
|
||
* **DBIS Reserve Governance Charter (DRGC)**
|
||
|
||
* **International Monetary Compliance Protocols (IMCP)**
|
||
|
||
