Digital Silver, Trust and Security – Your Way to Win
Posted on 18/09/2025 | 204 Views
With silver looking poised for a breakout, more investors are exploring ways to gain exposure that are clean, efficient, and secure. That’s where tokenised silver—like Ainslie Bullion’s AGS—comes into focus, especially with recent upgrades to its storage and custody arrangements.
What’s new?
If you hold AGS through the Ainslie Storage App, you’ll now pay no storage fees. There are no ongoing custodial or vault charges—just standard Ethereum gas fees if you choose to move your tokens on‑chain via self-custody. As always, AGS remains fully backed by allocated, insured, and independently verified silver, stored securely in Australia’s Reserve Vault.
The digital custody solution is institutional‑grade. Zodia Custody, which underpins this setup, is owned and supported by major financial institutions including Standard Chartered, Northern Trust, SBI Holdings, and National Australia Bank. This delivers bank‑level trust, security, and compliance. Zodia is built for institutions—offering features like insurance, cold storage, vaulting, and fully segregated accounts.
As an added development, Zodia Custody has integrated with Metaco’s sub-custody network, allowing institutions connected to Metaco to access Zodia’s custody solutions. Why does this matter?
US crypto firm Ripple recently acquired Metaco for US$250 million—its first major acquisition. Metaco provides digital asset custody infrastructure used by clients like Citi, BNP Paribas, and the digital asset arm of Société Générale.
In short, Ainslie’s crypto storage solution via Zodia Custody is operating alongside major global institutions. We take your trust—and the security of your digital bullion—seriously.
Best of all? There’s no cost to you.
Is this worth considering? For many, yes. Here’s why:
- Cost-efficiency: No storage fees mean reduced drag on long-term returns.
- Access and liquidity: Being on‑chain, AGS allows easier movement, selling, or redemption than physical silver.
- Institutional-grade custody: Zodia’s backing by major banks reduces counterparty risk significantly.
Of course, keep practicalities like the AU$250 redemption minimum in mind. But if you’re bullish on silver and want exposure without the logistics of physical bullion, AGS—stored via Zodia—offers a compelling blend of security, accessibility, and institutional-grade infrastructure.
