Advantages of Investing in Digital Gold

  1. You can buy it online through many financial institutions. It is as easy as purchasing an app, and it's just as hassle-free when you want to sell it. The transactions happen at the prevailing gold prices even though the institution might charge you some fees.
  2. You do not have to worry about the legitimacy of the gold. When you buy physical gold, there is always a fear of buying actual authentic 24 karat gold. When you buy it through a financial institution digitally, then making sure that the gold they buy on your behalf is pure is their responsibility.
  3. Safety from theft. Physical gold comes with the risk of robbery and safety. If you are looking to invest a heavy amount, you will have to store all the gold in your house or somewhere safe. It is a constant source of worry, especially when you travel often. When you buy digital gold, it is the institution's responsibility to keep it protected. You need your credentials and can access them anytime you want through your phone. Even if you lose your phone, you can log in to your accounts through your new phone. Do remember that the institutions would charge you for the vault space that your gold takes.
  4. It is easy to convert it into physical gold. Instead of selling it and getting the money transferred to your bank, you can redeem it from the institution that you bought it through.
  5. The prices of digital gold are the same across the country and do not fluctuate in different states like physical gold. So, if you change cities, it might be a hassle to carry physical gold everywhere, and you might not even get the same prices. Digital gold solves this problem.
