Buying digital gold during rupee value decline
When rupee weakens, digital gold helps hedge currency depreciation and protects wealth value effectively.
India imports nearly 90% of its gold, making domestic prices highly sensitive to rupee-dollar movements. When the rupee weakens, local gold prices typically rise regardless of stable global spot rates. In early 2026, INR-denominated gold delivered returns 7% higher than USD gold due to currency depreciation. Digital gold therefore functions as an effective currency hedge, protecting savings from exchange-rate volatility and external macroeconomic pressures.
