  1. GOLD TOKENIZATION VS. GOLD ETFS: WHAT’S THE REAL DIFFERENCE? by BlockchainX

  2. INTRODUCTION Gold has always been a trusted investment, but the way people buy and hold gold is rapidly changing. Today, investors can choose between tokenized gold on the blockchain and traditional gold ETFs. This presentation explains how both work, how they differ, and why tokenized gold is becoming a strong choice for modern and global investors.

  3. What Is Gold Tokenization? Gold tokenization converts physical gold into digital tokens stored on a blockchain. Each token directly represents a specific quantity of gold kept in a secure, audited, and insured vault. This approach brings transparency, instant ownership transfer, and global accessibility to the gold market.

  4. How Gold Tokenization Works Gold is sourced from audited, certified suppliers Stored in insured vaults Each gram/ounce is linked to a blockchain token Investors buy and trade tokens instantly Ownership remains verifiable on-chain

  5. What Is a Gold ETF? A Gold ETF is a traditional investment vehicle where investors purchase units that reflect the market price of gold. Instead of owning the gold physically, investors hold units of a fund that tracks gold’s price movement. These ETF units trade on stock exchanges and follow market hours.

  6. How Gold ETFs Work A fund manager purchases physical gold Stores it in banks or vaults Issues ETF units that represent portions of the fund Investors trade ETF units on the stock exchange

  7. KEY DIFFERENCES OVERVIEW Gold tokenization gives investors direct ownership of real gold, verified on the blockchain, while Gold ETFs provide indirect exposure through fund units managed by intermediaries. Tokenized gold is built for transparency, speed, and flexibility, whereas ETFs operate within traditional financial structures.

  8. Ownership Comparison Tokenized gold gives investors actual claim over specific audited gold held in secure vaults, allowing complete transparency of their holdings. In contrast, Gold ETFs offer ownership of a financial product backed by gold, meaning investors do not directly own the metal but rather units representing a fraction of a pooled fund. Liquidity and Accessibility With tokenized gold, investors enjoy 24/7 global trading, the ability to buy tiny fractions, and instantly settle transactions without middlemen. Gold ETFs, meanwhile, follow stock market trading hours and vary in availability across geographic regions. ETFs are also subject to brokerage rules, account requirements, and minimum investments.

  9. Transparency and Security Tokenized gold provides complete on-chain transparency where ownership records, vault details, and audits can be verified in real time. Gold ETFs rely on centralized custodians and fund managers, offering limited visibility to investors who must trust institutional auditors and financial reports instead of direct verification. Fees and Costs Gold tokenization typically involves lower costs because blockchain transactions eliminate intermediaries. Holding and transferring tokenized gold is far more affordable. In contrast, Gold ETFs include management charges, custodian fees, brokerage costs, and exchange-related expenses that add to long-term ownership costs.

  10. Redemption and Convertibility Tokenized gold provides easy redemption, allowing investors to convert their digital tokens into physical gold whenever they choose, depending on vault partners. Gold ETFs rarely provide physical redemption, and even when available, it is usually restricted to institutional investors who can redeem large bars. Risk Comparison Tokenized gold carries risks related to smart contract vulnerabilities and reliance on vault partners. Gold ETFs face trust-related risks with custodians, potential price manipulation, and regulatory restrictions. Both forms of investment involve risks, but the nature of those risks differs significantly based on technology and market structure.
