The World Gold Council has released the "Opportunities in the Digital Gold Market" report, indicating that the digital gold market size is between $45 billion and $55 billion. Digital gold refers to the conversion of physical gold into tradable digital standard gold units, supporting products and services such as tokenization, custodial gold, and collateral, without being restricted by the properties of physical gold bars or their storage locations. The report predicts that the digital gold market will grow at an average annual rate of approximately 27%, reaching a market size of $160 billion to $170 billion by 2031. The value of the physical gold investment market is approximately $13 trillion, with digital gold currently accounting for less than 1% of the global physical gold market. The cumulative spot trading volume of tokenized gold reached $90 billion in the first quarter of 2026, surpassing the total trading volume for the entire year of 2025.
