Even with the Mantra situation and some funds getting wrecked, tokenized RWAs especially gold are quietly flexing in 2025.

While most of crypto is bleeding, gold-backed tokens are just vibing at all-time highs.

And no, this isn’t just a “number go up” moment. It’s a whole signal.

Let’s talk.

Gold ETFs? Booming.

In Q1 2025 alone, gold ETF inflows hit a 3-year high; 226.5 tonnes added, about $18B in demand, 60% of that from North America.

Institutions are moving. They’re not just hedging, they’re positioning.

Probably smelling something weird in fiat world.

Now peep tokenized gold:

> $PAXG: +24.15% YTD

> $XAUT: +23.7% YTD

Compare that to:

> $BTC: -11%

> CD20 Index: -30%

Gold’s rally is one thing. But tokenized gold? That’s gold’s stability plus crypto’s liquidity.

That combo? Straight alpha.

Real-world asset. On-chain access.

And right now, it’s looking like a safe haven with speed.

Keep sleeping on tokenized RWAs… or don’t.
