Gold has spent thousands of years without a software update. Its digital future may depend on something equally old-fashioned: being able to collect the metal.
- The digital gold market is estimated to reach $160-170 billion by 2031, but its growth is hindered by issues of trust, access, costs, and usefulness.
- A key practical challenge is the mismatch between small investor purchases and withdrawal terms designed for large buyers, making physical redemption difficult for many.
- Improved transparency of physical backing and clear documentation of ownership rights are crucial for investor confidence, especially concerning counterparty and custody risks.
