Risks and Impacts of Gold Investment in the Era of Capital Market Digitalisation in Indonesia

Abstract

Digitalisation has brought significant changes in gold investment, especially in Indonesia. This research aims to analyse the risks and impacts of gold investment in the digitalisation era of Indonesia's capital market. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews and literature studies. The results show that digital gold investment offers greater flexibility and accessibility than physical gold, attracting the younger generation. However, digitalisation also introduces new risks, such as cybersecurity threats, higher price fluctuations and the potential for digital fraud. This research highlights the importance of financial literacy, adequate regulation, and the use of blockchain technology to improve the transparency and security of digital gold investments. The findings provide important insights for investors, regulators and market participants in managing gold investments in the digital age. In conclusion, while offering great opportunities, digital gold investments require a strategic approach to mitigate the risks involved.
