Tokenized Gold

Tokenized gold is a digital token designed to represent ownership of, or a claim linked to, physical gold. In physically backed structures, specified quantities of gold are held in custody while tokens represent corresponding interests according to the product's terms.

Why it matters to you

Tokenized gold can provide blockchain based access to gold without requiring investors to personally store the physical metal. However, investors still depend on the structure behind the token. Custody, verification, redemption rights, fees and the legal claim to the gold all matter.
