The research model is able to explain 82.2% of the variation in Generation Z's interest in digital gold investment. These findings indicate that strengthening brand image and implementing effective digital marketing strategies are crucial to increasing digital gold investment interest among students. The practical implication of this research is that Islamic financial institutions need to optimize digital marketing and build a strong brand image to attract young investors.]]>
