Could Tokenised Gold Change How People Invest in Gold?
Gold has traditionally required investors to buy physical bars and coins, use financial products or rely on other forms of exposure. Tokenisation offers another possibility: representing ownership or economic exposure to gold through blockchain-based tokens. This could make transfers faster and potentially allow smaller amounts of gold exposure to be traded digitally. But investors still need to understand what stands behind the token, where the gold is stored, who holds it, how ownership is verified and whether the token can actually be redeemed. Does putting gold on a blockchain make the asset more useful, or is it simply a new way of packaging something investors already understand?
