Description
Platinum (XPT) is a commodity‑based unit of account representing one troy ounce of pure platinum. It is used primarily in the global precious‑metals markets for pricing, trading, and settlement of platinum contracts, and is quoted by major exchanges such as the London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM) and the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Because XPT is not issued by a sovereign state, it has no national legal tender status. The “issuer” is effectively the LPPM, which maintains the standard for purity and weight. The unit has no sub‑units; transactions are expressed in whole or fractional troy ounces. It is commonly denoted by the symbol “Pt” in market data.
