Digitising India's Household Gold Could Unlock Trillions in Economic Value
India holds over 31,000 tonnes of household gold worth around $3.4 trillion, much of which remains unused in physical form. Experts and reports highlight the potential of digitising gold ownership to unlock this wealth, making it more liquid and accessible, especially for younger generations like Gen Z. Digital gold platforms enable smaller, regular investments and complement traditional gold buying, potentially boosting economic growth and reducing import dependence by integrating gold into the formal financial system.
