The opportunity
Gold appreciates over time. Fiat currencies do not.
Since 1971 the dollar has lost more than 98% of its purchasing power measured in gold. The euro, the pound and every other fiat currency have followed the same path. While central banks print money, gold and silver have preserved wealth for thousands of years.
Dubai handles between 10% and 15% of all physical gold traded worldwide, one of the three great global hubs alongside Switzerland and London. It is the most important regulated centre in the world for precious metals.

What exactly you buy
Real metal. Not paper.
Physical gold and silver
When you buy on BELOBABA you acquire real grams of gold or silver. Not an ETF. Not a derivative. Not a promise. Physical metal.
Segregated custody in a regulated refinery
Your metal is stored in the vaults of a first-tier refinery in the United Arab Emirates, regulated and licensed under the standards of the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) — the most important commodities free zone in the world, ranked number one globally for nine consecutive years by the Financial Times.
In your name
Your position is segregated and individually allocated. It is not pooled with that of other clients. The metal is yours.
Fully insured
The entire position — in the vault and in transit — carries full insurance against theft, loss or damage.
From one gram or $50
Your metal earns more metal
3% annual yield — accrued daily, settled monthly in gold.
Metals leasing — yield in kind
Your gold generates more gold. Your silver generates more silver. Through a metals leasing programme with regulated counterparties — jewellery manufacturers and precious metals players — your position generates a 3% annual yield.
Daily accrual. Monthly settlement.
Yield accrues every day and is credited on the 5th of each month directly into your position, under "Accrued yield". You watch your grams grow in real time.
No lockup
The leasing programme does not lock your position. You can exit at any time.
All-in price
The price you see on screen is the final price.
No purchase commissions, no custody fees, no additional selling costs. Track your investment in real time on the BELOBABA dashboard.
The buy price and the sell price differ — that is the market spread, the same mechanism every metals dealer in the world uses. You will always see it before confirming.

Illustrative figures — not live prices or real balances.
Total liquidity
Your gold is not locked away.
Sell at any time
Sell your whole position or part of it whenever you want. The proceeds are credited instantly to your USD balance.
Physical withdrawal in Dubai
If you want to take possession of your metal, you can collect it in person in Dubai.
Remember: gold and silver prices fluctuate. The value of your position can go up or down.
More than an asset — collateral
Loans backed by your gold and silver.
Crypto loans collateralised in metal
Use your gold or silver position as collateral to access liquidity without selling your metal. Your position keeps generating yield while the loan is active.
