Tokenized gold offers numerous advantages over traditional paper gold options like gold ETFs, as highlighted by Melissa Song and Dustin Becker from Gold DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization enabling investor access to tokenized gold. These benefits include 1:1 redeemability for a specific quantity of physical gold, utilization as collateral in DeFi applications, and enhanced transactional efficiency with on-demand liquidity. The surge in gold prices in 2025 can be attributed to macroeconomic uncertainties, high US government debt levels, and geopolitical tensions reshaping the global monetary landscape. Gold reached a record high of $3,500 per ounce in April 2025 following trade tariffs announcements by US President Donald Trump, leading traders to seek refuge in safe-haven assets like gold. This trend also boosted gold-backed cryptocurrencies such as Paxos Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT). Max Keiser, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, believes gold-backed tokens will outperform fiat stablecoins due to gold’s inherent geopolitical risk diversification and inflation resistance. Gold’s recent rally may spill over into Bitcoin if investors shift towards viewing it as a store of value during turbulent economic times.
