"Launched in 2005 and now caring for a record £7.9 billion of gold, silver, platinum and palladium for its users, BullionVault enables private investors to buy and sell securely stored precious metal from as little as 1 gram at a time. Last month's huge price moves drew a record number of both buyers and sellers to gold and silver, with buyers outnumbering sellers by the widest margin since the Covid pandemic. The West London fintech also attracted a record number of new users in January, outrunning the previous monthly high by a massive 80.9%."
"Trading on BullionVault set a new record too, with £854 million of physical metal changing hands last month, topping US$1.1 billion and more than 3.5 times last year's 12-month average value. "Record-high prices are meeting record trading and demand in gold and silver," says BullionVault director of research Adrian Ash. "For every seller there were two buyers in January. "New investors starting to build their holdings are of course smaller than the average position held by longer-term owners. But while leveraged speculators chase their tails in derivatives bets and exchange-traded contracts, the physical bullion market is evenly balanced overall.""
