1) Tokenized Gold & Silver Coins (Direct Precious Metal Exposure)
These are crypto tokens backed by physical gold or silver, so when those metals go up, their prices typically follow.
🔸 Gold-Backed Tokens
XAUT (Tether Gold) – A gold-backed crypto token backed 1:1 by physical gold. Demand spikes when gold prices surge, and XAUT market cap has grown significantly.
PAXG (Pax Gold) – Another major gold token, widely regarded and liquid, representing physical gold on-chain.
XAUM (Matrixdock Gold) – A smaller but transparent gold-backed token with proof-of-reserves.
⚪ Silver-Backed Tokens
KAG (1 oz Silver Token) – Silver token pegged to one ounce of physical silver.
XAGX (Avalanche Silver Token) – Silver-backed on Avalanche blockchain.
GRAMS (1 g Silver Token) – 1-gram silver token, also gaining traction.
💡 These tokenized metal coins track precious metal prices closely and can outperform broader crypto when gold/silver rallies because they’re directly tied to those markets.
📈 2) Binance Gold & Silver Perpetuals
If you trade on Binance Futures:
Gold Perpetual Contract (XAU/USDT) – Tracks gold price movements 24/7.
Silver Perpetual Contract (XAG/USDT) – Tracks silver price movements 24/7.
These aren’t coins, but Derivatives tied to precious metal prices in crypto form, so they benefit directly from metal rallies.
🧠 3) Cryptos That Could Benefit Indirectly
These aren’t tied to metals but might perform better in a macro environment where gold/silver rally (e.g., hedge flows and risk-off sentiment):
🔹 USDT / Stablecoins
USDT (Tether) – Tether has significant gold reserves backing XAUt tokens, so a gold rally boosts its balance sheet indirectly.
🔹 Bitcoin (BTC) as “Digital Gold”
BTCis often viewed as digital gold; in some cycles it benefits from macro hedging demand alongside metals, though its correlation varies.
⚠️ Important Notes
Tokenized metal coins depend on custody & audit trust — risks include unclear legal ownership and audit transparency.
These tokens often have lower trading volume and liquidity than major cryptos like BTC or ETH.
Not all tokenized assets are available on every exchange (Binance may list some, others may be on different platforms).
