The lowest fees to buy gold
Buying gold through a broker, ETF, or bullion dealer comes with layers of fees like management fees, storage fees, bid/ask spreads, and transaction commissions. Axal cuts through all of that to offer some of the lowest all-in fees to purchase tokenized gold.
Gold ETFs typically charge 0.17–0.40% in annual management fees on top of brokerage commissions. Physical dealers charge 1–5% over spot. Axal's fee structure is transparent and significantly lower, and unlike an ETF, the gold you hold in Axal is yours — allocated, serial-numbered, and redeemable. Not a fund share. Not a promise. Real gold.
