As gold approaches the $3,900 mark, the total market capitalization of tokenized gold has also surged to nearly $3 billion. Monthly trading volumes for leading gold-backed tokens — XAUT and PAXG — have both exceeded $3.2 billion.
This latest rally is driven by a combination of factors: fears of a potential U.S. government shutdown, persistent inflationary pressures, and growing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut. The Chief Investment Office (CIO) of UBS Wealth Management remains bullish, having previously forecast that gold could reach $3,900 per ounce by next year.
