Tokenized gold via XAUT on Bybit sees a surge, driven by safe-haven demand and its integration on networks like Mantle and TON. In 2025, XAUT’s market cap rose 177%, marking significant growth amid gold’s price increase to over $4,600/oz.
Bybit, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange globally, recently launched tokenized gold services on the TON network, enhancing access to safe-haven assets worldwide.
Tokenized Gold Reaches New Heights
Tokenized gold has reached new milestones with Bybit’s recent launch. This marks a significant step in expanding access to safe-haven assets on a global scale. The integration with the TON Network enhances efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Bybit, supported by Mantle and Tether issuing XAUT, focuses on bringing gold-backed assets to the forefront of digital trading. This builds upon previous advancements, ensuring 24/7 liquidity and security for users across the globe.
“Real-world assets are a core focus for Mantle, particularly assets with proven global demand and long-term value. Gold’s strong performance in recent years reinforces the case for tokenized exposure, and integrating XAUT allows us to support that demand across DeFi, vaults, and structured on-chain products with lower costs and greater efficiency.” – Joshua Cheong, Head of Product, Mantle
Market Implications and Investor Impact
The immediate effect on the market is notable, as tokenized gold demand surges. Investors now have a more secure and accessible way to invest in gold. This development is poised to reshape traditional gold markets. The financial implications are substantial with gold prices rising significantly. Bybit’s integration into the TON Network highlights the ongoing shift towards digital assets and the growing investor confidence in blockchain-based finance.
Future of Tokenized Assets
Experts predict tokenized gold could transform traditional investing, attracting new demographics. The integration aligns with market trends emphasizing security and transparency in financial assets. By providing transformative access to gold, Bybit sets a new precedent in asset tokenization. Analysts suggest this move will offer enhanced opportunities for both retail and institutional investors, cementing Bybit’s role in the evolving digital asset landscape.
