Gold moving into stablecoin backed entities

One token accounts for approximately half of the total market, while another major token holds a significant share, with the two together representing nearly 90% of tokenized gold holdings. The leading token surpassed its competitor following supply expansion throughout 2025.

The growth in tokenized gold has occurred alongside a substantial increase in gold prices year-to-date, attributed to macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and sustained global demand for the precious metal.

Gold-backed stablecoins enable investors to hold fractional ownership of physical gold bars stored in secure vaults, providing exposure to gold through blockchain-based tokens that can be traded on cryptocurrency platforms.

A major stablecoin issuer has become a notable institutional holder of gold, acquiring quantities that place it among the top global gold holders according to International Monetary Fund data, ahead of several national reserves.

The development reflects growing institutional and retail interest in digital assets backed by traditional commodities, offering features such as liquidity, transparency, and cross-border transferability while maintaining price correlation with physical gold.

Oh no, the gold stablecoin is about to take off. Now it's up to who can ride the wind and break the waves.

The move with the gold stablecoin is indeed quite bold. From the beginning of the year until now, it has tripled and directly reached 4 billion. It feels like the real asset sector is finally about to take off.

Is the gold stablecoin making a comeback? 4B is indeed outrageous, but I've seen too many monopolistic tactics from the leading players.

Gold standard stablecoin is back to tell stories, 4B? Haha, seasoned veterans know where this number comes from. If you're really brave enough to pull out the contract code for review, we can talk later. One token dominance? The last time I heard that was from a fork arbitrage project team last year, and you all know what happened afterward. Raising three kids and still have to watch out for these kinds of wealth secrets, beware of being cut off.
