Online Counterparty Risk
Trustee-backed custody is essential to protect digital bullion from platform failure risks.
Independent trustee oversight legally ring-fences bullion holdings, protecting investor assets from platform bankruptcy or operational failure risks. Digital gold and silver are stored in private vaults operated by bullion providers. If a platform lacks an independent trustee such as IDBI Trusteeship or Catalyst Trusteeship, investor holdings may not be legally ring-fenced in bankruptcy scenarios. Without trustee oversight, assets could be exposed to operational risk.
