Who really controls the market for 'paper gold'?
In the previous post, I wrote that ETFs ≠ physical gold. Now let’s analyze the structure. The largest gold ETFs are managed by giants like BlackRock,
State Street Global Advisors, and Vanguard.
This is trillions of dollars under management.
But what's important is something else.
ETF shareholders cannot just come and take a bar. The right to exchange for physical gold is usually only available to large authorized participants (banks, market makers).
Retail investors receive:
•liquidity
•convenience
•exchange-traded instrument
But no direct control over the metal.
Now the main question.
If there is a surge in demand for physical gold — how quickly can the market supply it?
And who will be first in line?
History shows:
In a crisis, the large players get priority
