- Tokenized commodities saw a 10% market cap jump to $7.69 billion last month, driven by demand for 24/7, crypto-native safe-haven assets.
- Tether Gold and Paxos Gold dominate the sector, holding ~$5.5 billion of the total market value.
- Crypto exchanges like Binance are gaining traction as venues for traditional finance, with precious metal derivative volumes surging to billions daily.
Investors are increasingly turning to crypto markets for round-the-clock exposure to safe-haven assets like gold, fueling rapid growth in the tokenized commodities sector. Data aggregator RWA.xyz shows the sector’s market capitalization grew 10% over the past month to $7.69 billion.
Holders also increased 5.8% to 189,390, underscoring real-world assets’ expanding role. Tether Gold commands the lion’s share with $2.96 billion, while Paxos Gold follows with $2.56 billion. Consequently, tokenized commodities now offer seamless digital trading of physical assets.
Meanwhile, crypto exchanges are emerging as new venues for traditional finance derivatives. Activity spikes during strong price trends, like the recent precious metal rallies, according to a CryptoQuant report.
Daily volume for gold and silver contracts recently hit approximately $3.77 billion and $3.75 billion respectively. CryptoQuant’s head of research, Julio Moreno, wrote, “Activity has spiked during periods of strong precious-metal price momentum.”
Consequently, Binance’s TradFi perpetual futures have generated over $130 billion in cumulative volume since January. This rising demand is attributed to tariff uncertainty, higher rates, and safe-haven needs.
