Tokenized Gold Surpasses $1 Billion in Daily Trading Volume Amid Record Rally
Gold has entered the digital age with unprecedented momentum. Tokenized Gold products have eclipsed $1 billion in daily trading volume, fueled by the metal's record price surge and the 24/7 liquidity of blockchain markets. Cumulative volumes since October 1 exceed $10 billion, outpacing traditional instruments like BlackRock's iShares Gold Trust (IAU).
The milestone signals a structural shift in how investors approach gold. Once confined to physical bars and exchange-traded funds, the precious metal now thrives as a programmable asset. Blockchain's frictionless settlement and global accessibility are rewriting the rules for this ancient store of value.
Market participants increasingly view digital gold tokens as superior hedging instruments. Unlike ETFs constrained by market hours, tokenized products enable real-time risk management across time zones. The $2.7 billion market capitalization achieved in September now appears merely foundational.
