Bitget Gold Token Futures Trading Guide

1. What are gold tokens?

Gold tokens are blockchain-issued cryptocurrencies pegged to physical gold. Each token corresponds to a fixed weight of physical gold (such as 1 gram or 1 ounce), securely stored in professional vaults and strictly supervised by the issuer. Their price tracks the international gold market in real time, enabling investors to benefit from gold ownership and potential returns, without physically holding it.

2. Why trade gold tokens?

Gold tokens combine the stability of gold with the flexibility of crypto, offering several advantages:

● Stable value and inflation hedge: Pegged to physical gold prices, they provide a reliable hedge against inflation, unlike volatile standalone cryptocurrencies.

● Global trading efficiency: Buy and sell on exchanges anytime without physical delivery—instant settlement and enhanced liquidity.

● Fractional ownership: Supports small denominations (such as 0.01 ounces), making it accessible to small investors and suitable for DeFi applications such as lending and yield farming.

● Transparency and security: Blockchain records are immutable, reducing fraud risks and enabling easier audits.

● Low cost and easy access: No storage fees and low entry fees, ideal for all types of investors.
