+Digital gold is unregulated. A timely reminder from SEBI.
+
+Most people don’t realize that nobody regulates digital gold, and if something were to happen to the platforms or companies selling it, there’s not much you can do.
+
+It’s also a subpar way to get exposure to gold. You pay 3% GST the moment you buy. Then there are spreads of another 2–3%, which means as soon as you purchase digital gold, you’re already down about 6%, and that’s before even factoring in regulatory risk.
+
+Now that Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) have stopped, gold ETFs remain one of the safest and easiest ways to get exposure to gold. We wrote about all this on [The Daily Brief](https://thedailybrief.zerodha.com/p/sebi-isnt-a-big-fan-of-digital-gold?triedRedirect=true).
