Gold-Backed Stablecoins Triple Market Cap to $4B in 2025 as Tokenized Gold Demand Soars
The market for gold-backed stablecoins has surged to nearly $4 billion in 2025, marking a threefold increase since the start of the year. A single dominant token now commands half of this rapidly expanding sector, capitalizing on strategic reserve expansions and supply adjustments.
Rising Gold prices, fueled by macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, have driven institutional and retail investors toward tokenized gold alternatives. These digital assets offer exposure to gold's value without the logistical challenges of physical storage.
The leading stablecoin issuer has significantly bolstered its gold reserves, positioning itself among the world's largest gold holders. This growth mirrors broader trends in commodity tokenization as traditional finance increasingly converges with blockchain solutions.
