Physical or Digital Gold? SEBI Advises Investment Only Through Regulated Platforms like Gold ETFs and SGBs
SEBI has advised investing in gold only through regulated platforms like Gold ETFs and SGBs, as digital gold remains unregulated by SEBI or RBI, offering limited legal protection. While digital gold is convenient and popular (10% market share), physical gold offers clearer legal recourse against fraud. Drawbacks of physical gold include theft risk and lower returns on jewelry. Investors must weigh convenience against regulatory security.
