Digital gold will remain in trend even after the epidemic ends
Paytm Money CEO Varun Sridhar says that now that the epidemic continues, Paytm’s Digital Gold has generated good interest among Indians who want to buy gold for personal use and gifting during this uncertain time, for investment purposes. Are, but cannot go out to buy gold. We believe that this trend will continue even after the end of the epidemic because ease of buying or gifting digital gold and its value are known as prime commodities.
Keeping in mind its credibility as an integrated investment platform, Paytm Money will now also allow users to buy and sell gold, so that they can further control their investment plans. Digital gold gives citizens the right to purchase in the amount of their choice, no matter how small the amount. We have big plans for this product and can be promoted for digital gold in the near future.
