Gold might be quietly moving on-chain.
$XAUT’s market cap has more than tripled in the past year, going from roughly $700M to over $2.4B. That’s not speculation hype, that’s steady demand.
What’s interesting is the timing. As gold keeps making new highs and trust in traditional systems gets tested, people are clearly looking for ways to hold exposure that is portable, divisible, and easy to settle globally.
Tokenized gold like $XAUT sits right at that intersection.
You get physical gold backing, but with crypto-style transferability and 24/7 liquidity.
No vault logistics, no borders, no settlement delays.
This isn’t about replacing gold. It’s about upgrading how gold is held and moved.
If this trend continues, tokenized real-world assets won’t be a narrative anymore.
They’ll just be infrastructure.
