Overview

StackFi is a hard-asset market intelligence platform focused on gold, silver, and Bitcoin. It combines a live market snapshot, side-by-side ownership comparisons, practical calculators, tokenized-metal research, and a research desk. It is built for investors who want to understand the prices, costs, and trade-offs behind physical bullion, ETFs, and tokenized assets before making decisions.

Key Features

• Live market snapshot: Gold and silver prices in USD per troy ounce, 24-hour changes, the gold/silver ratio, and the US dollar index (DXY computed from ECB reference rates). The homepage shows a timestamp and source, such as gold-api.com.
• Ownership comparison: A clear breakdown of physical metal, gold ETFs, and tokenized gold. Each path lists what it offers and what to consider, including possession, intermediaries, storage, insurance, dealer premiums, fund expenses, custody, wallet portability, on-chain transfers, issuer risk, and redemption conditions.
• Practical tools: Cost of owning gold, gold-to-silver ratio, gold price per gram and purity, tokenized metal premium, tokenized stock pricing, and basis & funding. These are designed to translate headline prices into real ownership costs and trade-offs.
• On-chain gold coverage: XAUT price tracking, how to buy XAUT with USDT, whether XAUT is backed by real gold, and whether gold pays interest. The content addresses reserves, contracts, redemption, and comparisons with PAXG.
• Research desk: Featured and selected articles on silver investing, tokenized gold, XAUT, and hard-asset market analysis. Articles include update dates and estimated reading times.
• Gold Playbook: A free ten-chapter PDF guide covering how gold ownership works, from central-bank buying to gold on-chain.
• Newsletter and multilingual access: Research update signup, plus English, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish versions. The site also supports dark mode and app-like installation metadata.
