What exchange is going to list a fund that trades an unregulated market? The potential for manipulation is off the charts.

GLD, the largest gold based ETF, holds bullion. Gold bullion trades in the unregulated OTC markets.

There are plenty of US regulations that apply to gold: purity, weight standards, futures regulations, security standards, etc. And i'd be pretty surprised if they didn't trade through COMEX or use them or someone similar for clearance or bonded storage.
