TREE NEWS reports: The World Gold Council’s Digital Gold Market Opportunity report puts the digital gold market at $45 billion to $55 billion, with a five-year base case projecting roughly 27% annual growth to $160-170 billion by 2031. Digital gold converts physical bullion into tradable standardized digital units supporting tokenization, custody and collateral products. Despite the physical gold investment market being worth about $13 trillion, digital gold accounts for less than 1% of it.
World Gold Council: Digital Gold Market Reaches $45-55B
AI take
The striking figure here is not the growth projection but the penetration gap: digital gold sits below 1% of a physical investment market the World Gold Council sizes at roughly $13 trillion, which frames tokenization as an early-stage distribution story rather than a mature one. The base case leans on standardization enabling custody and collateral use cases, so the credibility of the 27% trajectory rests on whether those products actually get built and adopted. Whether digital gold's share of the physical market moves meaningfully off that sub-1% base is the open question.
