Registered inventory is the metal backed by a live warehouse warrant, so it can be delivered against a COMEX futures contract immediately; eligible inventory sits in the same approved vaults and meets exchange specs but carries no warrant, so it is a reserve rather than deliverable supply. The line worth watching is the trend in registered stock relative to open interest: when registered metal drains while contracts stand for delivery, fewer deliverable ounces back each paper claim, and that is where delivery stress shows up first. During the 2020 COVID dislocation, COMEX gold registered stocks were rebuilt sharply — from a few million ounces to well over ten — as refiners and vaults scrambled to convert eligible metal into deliverable warrants, a reminder that the registered line can swing on re-categorization, not only on physical inflows and outflows.
