The Best Way to Buy Gold — ETFs Are Obsolete

Gold just hit another record high.

And by the time you read this, it may have set a whole new record above its current $3,086 per ounce. 

It’s a bull run unlike any we’ve ever seen. And it’s not going to stop anytime soon. 

Volatility, uncertainty, and inflation are facts of life at this point. Trade wars, live shooting wars, a complete restructuring of America’s governmental bureaucracy, economic and political strife… 

The Federal Reserve board is frozen with panic. They have no idea how to adjust monetary policy to accommodate an ever-shifting paradigm.

Of course, as the ultimate safe-haven investment, gold is soaring to unfathomable highs. And investors are smart to buy in. 

The problem is how they’re doing it. 

The most obvious way to invest is to simply buy the metal. But stocking up on bullion isn’t exactly practical. There are matters of delivery, storage, maintenance, and security.

Gold mining stocks are another solid choice — but they do have their drawbacks. 

Gold mining operations can be stalled by strikes and environmental concerns, or even seized by unfriendly governments.

Even something as mundane as a flood or mechanical breakdown can hinder production. Or maybe the miner simply overestimated the quantity or quality of their reserves. 

It’s no surprise, then, that many investors turn to ETFs. These can be handy as they do a pretty good job of mirroring gold’s price movements. 

But again, there are some glaring issues. 

The biggest is that while gold ETFs are supported by gold bullion, they’re not actually a contractual entitlement to any physical gold. An ETF shareholder effectively owns a debt that is supported by the fund’s bullion assets. They are not the rightful owner of any specific piece of gold.

And that’s why they’re going extinct. 

Indeed, gold ETFs are set to be replaced by a more modern solution — one that gives investors a certified, verifiable claim on physical gold that’s actually in the ground. 

It’s called NatGold — and it’s nothing short of a revolution.

NatGold is a digital token like Bitcoin…

Except, unlike Bitcoin, it’s actually backed by a physical asset. 

Gold.

The Future of Gold Investing 

You see, instead of physically extracting gold from the ground, NatGold “exchanges” mining titles — containing gold deposits verified under rigorous standards like NI 43-101 or S-K 1300 — for NatGold coins. 

These coins represent the value of the certified gold while leaving the physical metal untouched in the ground.

The process is conducted within a fully auditable, transparent, and regulatory-compliant ecosystem managed by Abu Dhabi-based NatGold Digital Ltd. 

And it brings a huge number of advantages to the table.

It’s efficient, in that you don’t actually have to hold and store the gold because it’s safe in the ground.

It’s traceable and transferable because it’s tracked through blockchain. 

It’s scalable due to the vastness of the world’s untapped gold reserves. (According to conservative estimates, there is more than $15 trillion worth of economically feasible but currently unmined gold deposits worldwide.)

And to top it all off, it’s environmentally friendly because it spares the earth from the environmental damage that comes from extraction.

So often gold is derided by critics for being some kind of relic. 

But NatGold has brought the yellow metal fully into the modern age — essentially by tokenizing it. 

Simply put, this is the cleanest, easiest, most efficient way to own gold. And the only way you could have a more verifiable gold asset is a vault stocked with bullion. 

It’s direct ownership of unmined gold — not shares of a company or a piece of gold-backed debt. It’s there and it’s yours.

And with gold prices soaring, NatGold is poised to blow up. 

Let me be clear: This is NOT a mainstream investment… yet. 

But it will be — and a massive one, at that.

If gold hits $3,500 an ounce (a conservative prediction given the current macro climate), its total market cap would soar to around $17 trillion. That’s up from roughly $14 trillion today.

Now, let’s say NatGold tokenizes just 10% of the world’s economically viable unmined gold — the $15 trillion figure I mentioned earlier.

That would still be $1.5 trillion in underlying value — and likely even more than that. 

In fact, there’s a good chance that its total market cap will ultimately surpass Bitcoin’s $1.6 trillion valuation.

This is the way to own gold. 

It’s more efficient than managing physical gold assets, more direct than ETFs, and more stable than crypto. 

It’s nothing short of a revolution — and one that’s destined to generate huge fortunes for early adopters. 

That’s why I highly encourage you to check out our full report here.

It has all the details on this massive opportunity and how to get started investing. 

You just have to see it for yourself.
