Tokenized Gold Booms: Over $19B in Trading Volume in Just 6 Months

Tokenized gold is on a record-breaking run. According to CEX.io, trading volume for digital gold assets exceeded $19 billion in the first half of 2025 — outperforming many traditional gold ETFs.

⠀

Stablecoins like Pax Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT) are seeing explosive growth, driven by both retail and institutional demand. In just one quarter, trading volume in this asset class surged 8x.

⠀

Amid inflation and global instability, tokenized gold is becoming a go-to diversification strategy — a clear sign of the rising power of real-world assets (RWA) in crypto portfolios.

⠀

💡 PAXG holders increased by 25%, while XAUT holders skyrocketed by 151%.

Crypto investors are turning to gold — not in vaults, but on the blockchain.
