Digital Gold Is Safer From Theft but Carries Platform Risk
Vault storage removes theft risk, but ownership depends on platform stability and trustee safeguards.
Digital gold is stored in insured vaults operated by firms like Brink’s and Sequel, with insurance typically covering 100% of asset value. This eliminates risks of home theft and annual locker fees ranging from ₹2,000 to ₹15,000. However, ownership depends on trustee entities. If a platform becomes insolvent, investors rely on legal claim mechanisms. Unlike physical gold, digital holdings involve counterparty and operational risk exposure.
