$BTC The tokenized gold is EXPLODING while cryptocurrencies are stagnating
Something unusual is happening on the chain — and it is impossible to ignore. Tokenized gold has just taken off. In the last 24 hours, trading volume in Tether Gold (XAUT), PAXG, and XAU increased by more than 100%, completely surpassing the rest of the cryptocurrency market.
While most altcoins stagnated or fell, capital flowed aggressively into gold-backed tokens, signaling a clear rotation towards a more conservative approach — but without abandoning the pathways of the blockchain. This is not retail noise. It is traders and institutions choosing exposure to hard assets with on-chain liquidity, speed, and composability.
When tokenized gold begins to outperform memes, L1s, and majors simultaneously, it usually means one thing: macro fear is winning the flow war. Cryptocurrencies are not being abandoned — they are being revalued through gold.
This movement feels early… and intentional.
Is tokenized gold becoming the bridge between the fear of TradFi and the liquidity of DeFi?
