...and the industry has room to grow:

In 2024, total IRA assets under custody reached $14.3 trillion. Precious metals make up only 0.49% of that total. An increase to just 1% would mean another $70 billion of demand, helping push precious metal prices—and the retirement balances of many Americans—even higher.

Gold IRAs are on the rise as Americans rethink how they prepare for retirement.
