The World Gold Council (WGC) highlights digital gold as a growing market with potential to unlock up to $700 billion in new investment demand by improving accessibility, transferability, and utility of gold in financial markets. Despite tokenized gold currently representing a small fraction of the gold market, innovations like WGC's "Gold as a Service" platform aim to reduce costs and complexity, boost liquidity, and increase investor confidence. This infrastructure could allow gold to be used more efficiently as collateral and integrated into digital payments, attracting both institutional and retail investors, especially younger ones. Challenges remain, including market fragmentation and regulatory differences, but the WGC stresses the importance of maintaining gold's physical backing while embracing digital innovation.
