Intro

We close out Gold for the 21st Century this week with a special roundtable episode with Dan McElduff (President, Abaxx Exchange), Siddiq Farid (Managing Director, Abaxx Spot), and David Gornall and Steve Lowe (Strategic Advisors for Precious Metals, Abaxx). 

David Greely sits down with them to discuss their experience and insights at the 2025 Asia Pacific Precious Metals Conference in Singapore this past week, following the introduction of Abaxx’s integrated gold infrastructure – including physically-deliverable Gold Kilobar Singapore Futures on Abaxx Exchange and the launch of a new provider of spot market services, Abaxx Spot, enabling secure transfers of physically-allocated gold in Singapore through a central pool structure. Together, they mark the first instance of co-located spot and futures infrastructure for gold, aiming to reduce fragmentation in global gold markets by aligning futures and spot markets with how gold is actually traded, stored, and settled.
