While gold-backed digital assets such as stablecoins and tokens are gaining attention globally, ETFs remain the dominant investment route for gold in India, said David Tait, chief executive officer of the World Gold Council, at the Rising Bharat Summit 2026.

Exchange-traded funds and digitalisation are expected to play a central role in the next phase of gold investment demand, David Tait, chief executive officer of the World Gold Council, said on Friday.

Speaking at the Rising Bharat Summit 2026, Tait said gold ETFs are proving increasingly attractive in India, particularly among younger investors. He added that globally, a significant portion of future gold inflows is expected to come through ETF products rather than physical purchases.

While gold-backed digital assets such as stablecoins and tokens are gaining attention globally, Tait said ETFs remain the dominant investment route for gold in India. He also highlighted that gold is not currently recognised as a high-quality liquid asset from a regulatory perspective, and said efforts are underway to ease regulatory norms around gold.

Tait said digitalisation represents the future of the gold market, with initiatives underway to build databases that improve transparency and traceability, allowing investors to verify the origin of physical gold.
