According to PANews, Kevin Rusher, the founder of RAAC, has analyzed the evolving role of gold as a safe-haven asset. Traditionally, gold investments have lacked profitability, but the advent of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols is changing this landscape. By tokenizing real-world assets like gold, investors can engage in lending, staking, and other yield strategies, thereby increasing capital efficiency. For instance, gold mining companies can issue tokens linked to their reserves, which can be converted into stablecoins and participate in DeFi ecosystem yield activities.
Rusher highlights that blockchain technology offers gold investors the ability to trade around the clock, discover real-time prices, and settle transactions quickly. This enhances the liquidity and flexibility of the asset. DeFi is poised to combine the stability of gold with the profitability of digital finance, creating a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
