Tokenized gold surpasses $3.9 billion, traditional asset on-chain trading is becoming a trend
【Chain Wen】Global precious metal prices hit a record high, and this wave has also reached the blockchain.
According to the latest statistics from the RWA data platform, the tokenized commodity market has approached a scale of $4 billion. In just the past month, this sector has grown by 11%, currently reaching $3.93 billion. What does this indicate? It shows that more and more people are starting to bring real assets onto the chain.
Among them, Tether Gold (XAUt) is leading the pack, with a market capitalization of $1.74 billion, almost half of the entire market. Following closely is Paxos Gold (PAXG), which, although slightly smaller, also has a scale of $1.61 billion. These two projects almost dominate the tokenized precious metals ecosystem.
Why has this sector suddenly become popular? The core advantage is clear: on-chain trading is not limited by traditional market trading hours, allowing 24/7 trading and transfers, which is a huge convenience for global investors. You don’t have to wait for New York to open; you can trade whenever you want.
But frankly, current RWAs are not fully independent yet. Pricing power, liquidity depth, physical redemption, and other aspects still rely on traditional financial infrastructure. In other words, it’s still a hybrid of traditional assets and blockchain; true full decentralization is still a distance away. However, this transitional phase itself is very imaginative.
39 billion only increased by 11% in a month, this growth rate is quite rapid... but it still feels like only niche players are involved.
24-hour trading at any time truly hits the pain point of traditional finance, but real explosion depends on institutional follow-up.
XAUt being the dominant player is unhealthy no matter how you look at it. Just waiting for the day something goes wrong and it gets crushed.
RWA (Real World Assets) was supposed to be hot long ago. Why is it only now breaking into the mainstream?
The convenience of on-chain gold trading is real, but how to ensure the risk?
Asset on-chain is an inevitable trend, no doubt. The problem is user experience and trust still need to catch up.
With these two projects so strong, is there still a way for new entrants to survive?

The matter of gold on the chain is becoming more and more like traditional institutions
---
Trade anytime in 24 hours? Oh my sister, this is the freedom I want
---
XAUt dominates the scene, Tether's move is quite steady
---
Wait, tokenized gold makes so much money? Why didn't anyone tell me earlier
---
Half of the market is monopolized by two projects, and the market doesn't seem that fragmented
---
Real assets on the chain are indeed the trend, but this speed is a bit frightening
On-chain gold has long been ready for widespread adoption, trading anytime 24/7, who still waits for exchanges to open?
PAXG and XAUt dominate the market, other projects have no chance... feels a bit like a monopoly
Tokenizing gold is indeed impressive, but the real RWA (Real World Asset) track has just begun
Decentralized gold trading... sounds good, but how to solve the trust issue?
An 11% monthly increase is indeed exaggerated. If this pace continues...
Oh my, everything now is being tokenized, is the next step real estate?
24-hour trading sounds great, but I'm just worried about a sudden plunge in the middle of the night, losing sleep.
Getting gold on the chain doesn't seem that appealing; it's probably faster just to trade cryptocurrencies directly.
This wave of trending sectors is a bit inexplicable; what are the investors throwing money around thinking?
It feels like traditional finance is coming in to disrupt the market; retail investors need to be more cautious.
