Counterparty Risk Extends Beyond Vault Custodian
Technology partners and trustees add layered operational exposure.
Counterparty risk includes every participant in the digital gold chain, such as refiners, technology platforms, and trustees. If any entity faces legal or financial problems, trading access could be disrupted temporarily. Although the physical gold remains secure, investors should prefer large, established providers and diversify holdings across multiple platforms to reduce single-point operational risk and ensure smoother liquidity during uncertain operational or market conditions.
