Top 7 Gold ETFs on Gate Exchange in 2025

The gold market witnessed unprecedented highs in 2025, largely influenced by global economic instability resulting from shifting U.S. trade policies and heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

For many investors, gold serves as a crucial diversification tool. This precious metal is renowned for its safe-haven status, offering a protective element when constructing a well-balanced investment portfolio.

Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) provide investors with a convenient avenue to gain exposure to physical gold, eliminating the complexities associated with purchasing and storing the metal, as well as the need for insurance. Additionally, some gold ETFs track a collection of gold-focused stocks, allowing investors to spread risk rather than placing bets on individual companies.

In this article, we present five gold ETFs and exchange-traded products (ETPs) available on Gate that offer exposure to physical gold, along with two gold ETFs that provide exposure to gold companies. These ETPs are ranked based on their assets under management, with data sourced from each company’s official website as of August 18, 2025.
