2026 starts even stronger for first-time bullion investing - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
BullionVault reached over 125,000 users across 175 countries and held more than £6.5 billion in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, up 69.1% year-over-year. December 2025 saw a 309.3% jump in new buyers from the previous December, making it the busiest December in the firm's 21-year history and capping the platform's third-best year for new client acquisition. Holiday trading volumes hit record levels, with Christmas Week trading exceeding £109 million and New Year's Day volumes at about £5m. The platform recorded its strongest ever start to a calendar year in early January 2026.
"Now used by more than 125,000 people in 175 countries and entrusted with over £6.5 billion of gold, silver, platinum and palladium − a rise of 69.1% from 12 months ago − BullionVault last month saw more people start buying precious metals than any December in the West London fintech's 21-year history, rising 309.3% from the previous December."
"Christmas Week saw more than £109 million in precious metal change hands via BullionVault's 24/7 website and smartphone apps, with trading volume on the 25th itself setting a Christmas Day record near £3m. That festive record was followed on New Year's Day by trading volume in gold, silver, platinum and palladium hitting £5m − again, a holiday when the world's stock markets and retail bullion stores were shut, leaving investors unable to buy or sell precious metal ETFs, coins or small bars."
