The Audit Trail: How Often Vaults Are Verified
Reputed providers conduct independent third-party audits periodically, verifying physical reserves match total outstanding digital gold units.
Digital gold operates under a legal structure known as bailment. This means the gold you purchase is held in custody on your behalf and does not become the asset of the app. In the event of liquidation or bankruptcy, your gold is legally segregated from the company’s balance sheet and protected from creditor claims. This structure significantly reduces counterparty risk compared to unsecured financial products.
