# Global Gold Marketplace (Allocated Assets)

The Global Gold Marketplace is the exchange layer for allocated physical metals within the Global Gold ecosystem. It is where specific, serialized gold and silver assets are bought, sold, claimed, and ultimately redeemed for physical delivery.

The Marketplace is intentionally distinct from both the tokenization engine (Global Gold Tokens) and the unallocated liquidity exchange (Global Gold Exchange). 

Its sole function is to facilitate the exchange of allocated metal assets represented by Conditional Claim NFTs.

This separation ensures systemic clarity, predictable settlement, and institutional-grade market structure.

The Global Gold Marketplace functions as a regulated-style commodity venue for allocated precious metals, enabling asset-specific discovery, ownership transfer, and physical settlement under protocol-defined standards.
