🌕 The World Gold Council (WGC) will launch a pilot digital gold in London in 2026 in the format of pooled gold interests (PGIs) – fractional ownership of physical bars held in trust accounts.
The new instrument aims to transform gold from a 'dead' asset into an active one: it can be used as collateral, margin, or a means of settlement.
The project is supported by major banks and trading houses, and if successful, gold will have the chance to become not only a store of value but also a full-fledged element of the global financial infrastructure.
