Here is what the page “Trillion-Dollar Gold Industry Launders Illegal Bullion into Global Markets” contains. The global gold trade, valued at over a trillion dollars, relies on a fiction that dirty and clean gold can be separated.

This laundering process allows illicit actors to profit while major financial institutions benefit from the liquidity and stability gold provides. The lack of rigorous supply chain transparency means consumers and investors rarely know if their gold funded violence or human rights abuses. As regulatory pressure grows, the industry faces a choice: maintain the status quo or adopt meaningful traceability.
