Tokenized gold's market capitlaization has now topped the $4.1 billion mark according to CoinGecko. Earlier this week, Bhutan unveiled TER, a sovereign-backed gold token on Solana tied to state reserves, following soon after Kyrgyzstan introduced USDKG, a gold-backed stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.
Rising gold prices, which hit a record $4,400 an ounce in October before correcting to $4,200, and clearer rules such as the U.S. GENIUS Act have provided a tailwind to the tokenized gold market, which is dominated Tether’s XAUT and Paxos’ PAXG.
