Tokenized Gold Surges to $3.02B in 2025, Led by XAUT and PAXG

The tokenized gold market has witnessed remarkable growth in 2025, with Tether Gold (XAUT) and PAX Gold (PAXG) leading the charge. As of October 7, the total market value of tokenized gold has surpassed $3.02 billion, marking a new all-time high for blockchain-based precious metal assets.

XAUT holders have grown by more than 150%, while PAXG holders increased by 25%, indicating rising adoption among new traders. Together, XAUT and PAXG dominate roughly 89% of the market, with XAUT accounting for approximately 49.5% and PAXG around 39.6%.

The growth of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization has been a key driver for tokenized gold, offering liquidity, yield opportunities, and the security of physical gold. The market has grown significantly in 2025, increasingly rivaling other gold-backed digital assets, with over $19 billion in trading volume year-to-date. PAX Gold (PAXG) has a market cap reaching approximately $1.19 billion, also experiencing substantial growth.

With a market capitalization nearing $1.5 billion, Tether Gold (XAUT) leads the market, driven by significant investor interest and the broader rise in gold prices. The tokenized gold market's rapid growth and high trading volumes highlight its growing role as a liquid, on-chain alternative to traditional gold holdings. Despite trailing major ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) in market capitalization, tokenized gold's potential is undeniable.
