From London and New York to Tokyo, Shanghai and Dubai, gold is continuously trading on precious metals exchanges worldwide–24/7. According to the World Gold Council, over US$361 billion dollars of gold was traded daily across the global markets in 2025.1 Compared to other major asset classes (e.g. bonds, currencies and stocks) in 2025, gold was the top traded asset.2

Of the total volume of gold traded in 2025, more than half of it (over US$179 billion dollars) was traded in the Over-The-Counter (OTC) market, which represents the primary venue for physical gold trading. That’s a lot of gold bullion!

As interest in precious metals grows, so do best practices within the industry. Today, numerous industries are seeing growing demand among consumers and investors for evidence of good sustainable practices. In this blog, we highlight how the precious metals industry, including the Royal Canadian Mint (Mint), is adopting a distributed ledger technology (DLT) solution to respond to this modern demand.
