Digital gold just tripled to a $55B market (Financial Times), as younger buyers pile in. The numbers: World Gold Council reports gold-backed ETFs pulled in $31B in Q3 2026 — a quarterly record — with holdings hitting a record 4,256 tonnes. Even after gold dropped 8.5% in September to ~$4,176/oz, ETFs still drew ~$10B that month. Central banks are leaning in too: 89% of surveyed institutions expect global gold reserves to grow over the next year, and a record 45% plan to add to their own holdings. So gold is going digital.
