Since the CME financial futures market is closed on weekends, tokenized gold assets have become the only public channel for weekend gold price discovery. Iggy Ioppe, Chief Investment Officer of former Credit Suisse and liquidity infrastructure company Theo, pointed out that on-chain markets currently handle nearly 100% of public price discovery during weekends, and when the futures market reopens, prices often align with the trends in on-chain markets. Data shows that the tokenized gold market has grown rapidly over the past year, with market capitalization soaring 177% from $1.6 billion to $4.4 billion, and nearly 120,000 holders. In 2025, the trading volume of tokenized gold is expected to reach approximately $178 billion. (Cointelegraph)
