Gold Set for Digital Makeover

David Tait, chief executive officer of the World Gold Council (WGC), foresees gold entering the digital era.

GOLD may soon be as easily accessible and usable as money in a digital wallet.

The WGC's initiative, Gold247, aims to connect the physical gold market with digital financial infrastructure.

Gold247 includes a global database for responsibly sourced gold and a 'gold-as-a-service' platform designed to simplify the launch and adoption of digital gold products.
