\n

On 8-11-2025, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI<\/span>’) issued a public advisory warning investors about the risks of investing in Digital Gold or E-Gold products<\/span> offered by online platforms.<\/p>\n

Key Advisory:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    SEBI warns investors against engaging with unregulated ‘Digital Gold<\/span>’ or ‘E-Gold<\/span>’ products offered by certain online platforms. These offerings operate outside SEBI’s regulatory framework and pose significant risks to retail investors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    SEBI clarified that it has enabled gold investments through SEBI-registered intermediaries using regulated instruments such as:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) offered by mutual funds<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Exchange-traded commodity derivative contracts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Electronic Gold Receipts (EGRs)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Digital Gold products marketed online differ from SEBI-regulated gold instruments. They are not classified as securities or regulated commodity derivatives<\/span> and therefore fall outside SEBI’s jurisdiction. These options can expose investors to counterparty risks, operational vulnerabilities, and lack of transparency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      SEBI cautions that investor protection mechanisms under the securities market framework do not apply to unregulated Digital Gold investments<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Investors are reminded to rely on SEBI-regulated channels for gold investments and avoid platforms lacking regulatory safeguards. They are urged to exercise caution and verify the regulatory status of any gold-related product before investing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
