World Gold Council launches digital gold initiative

The World Gold Council, together with Linklaters and Hilltop Walk, has unveiled a new framework to reshape the gold market: Pooled Gold Interests. 🪙
🔑 What it means:
Investors can now own fractional shares of physical gold stored in vaults.
Transfers become easier, faster, and more secure.
Gold can be used as collateral in financial markets.
📌 Currently, gold is traded as:
Allocated gold → direct ownership of bars (safe but complex).
Unallocated gold → liquid and cheaper (but with counterparty risk).
This initiative bridges both worlds — blending security with flexibility.

Gold Is the Most Stable Currency

If gold didn't retain its purchasing power, why would long-term investors and central banks store it in their vaults for decades? Hardly is gold used for industrial applications, so, again, why hold large stocks of gold if it would lose its value over time? The truth is that gold retains its value, and the stability of gold's purchasing power in the long-term is the main reason to own it.
