[World Gold Council Latest Report: Digital Gold Market Valued at $45-55 Billion] The World Gold Council has released the 'Digital Gold Market Opportunity Report.' According to the report, the current digital gold market is valued at $45-55 billion. Digital gold refers to converting trusted physical gold into tradable digital 'standard gold units,' which support a range of products and services such as tokenization, custodial gold, and collateral, without being restricted by the physical attributes or storage location of gold bars. The report's five-year baseline scenario predicts that the digital gold market will grow at an average annual rate of approximately 27%, reaching a market size of $160-170 billion by 2031. The report notes that the physical gold investment market is valued at approximately $13 trillion, but digital gold, including vault digital gold and tokenized gold, currently accounts for less than 1% of the global physical gold market.
