Digital Gold - Part 01

Sakhila Mirza, LBMA Executive Board Director; Daniel Masters, Executive Chairman, Coinshares; Peter Grosskopf, CEO, Sprott.

In the first of the digital gold series, Sakhila Mirza discusses the case for Digital Gold with Daniel Masters and Peter Grosskopf. There are over 70 gold-backed tokens in existence today, with the top two having a market cap of $150 million between them. However, is that enough in a multi-trillion dollar gold market and given the huge success of the ETFs? Both Danny and Peter comment that there needs to be support from regulators, major exchanges and sovereign vaults for the market to embrace Digital Gold. Standards need to be established and enforced to help provide integrity and confidence.

Watch this webinar, as Danny and Peter share their thoughts on the opportunities and the challenges, and the case for digital gold.
