In today's investment landscape, gold remains a trusted asset for Indian investors. Traditionally, physical gold as jewellery or coins has a popular choice for wealth preservation and growth. Digital gold is a modern alternative thats gaining an advantage.

It allows investors to buy, sell, and store gold online without any hassle. While physical gold has drawbacks like storage and handling, digital gold is popular for the ease it provides. Wizely stands out among various apps that allow investment in this asset online with its simple interface and smart features.

It offers live tracking of gold prices, secure storage, and instant withdrawals. Here's how Wizely makes gold savings smarter and more convenient.

Digital Gold vs Physical Gold: Which is Better

Physical gold offers ownership in coins or jewellery and acts as a hedge against inflation. It offers liquidity but requires safe storage and insurance, and in some cases, high making charges. Often times, buyers may face issues like a high initial investment amount, risk of theft, and lack of physical documentation about purity or hallmarks.

Digital gold provides a modern means to invest in gold online using apps and websites. It enables investors to buy small quantities of gold without physically securing it themselves. With real-time pricing that reflects the market price of physical gold as well as easy liquidity, digital gold suits tech-savvy investors.

Here is a quick comparison between the two:
