COMEX Gold Futures (GC)
Official-document verification is not direct product testing, full legal-package completeness, reserve inspection or legal approval. Unknown is never zero or permission; conflicting terms remain unresolved. No live liquidity, ranking, trading or wallet is provided.
Coverage and missing structures
Five gold structures are distinguished: allocated token, unallocated claim, trust share, dated future and perpetual. Four named products plus one LBMA structural reference were researched. Other commodities require separate storage, quality and delivery evidence; the gold model is not copied to them.
Real product record
A traditional dated gold-futures baseline with delivery rules, distinct from a perpetual and from present ownership of a specific bar.
