Gold Changed Category ๐
Gold has always been easy for me to understand.
You own it because you want the exposure.
Tokenized gold quietly changes that relationship.
$XAUt gives physical gold exposure an onchain form that can move through crypto infrastructure.
$PAXG provides another major example of the same idea reaching real users.
But portability is only the beginning.
Once gold becomes programmable collateral, I can start thinking about it differently.
It can potentially support borrowing, funding trades and other market-neutral strategies while the underlying portfolio remains denominated in gold.
That's what Theoriq Gold Vault is exploring.
And I think this distinction gets overlooked.
Productive gold doesn't need to become a high-risk degen asset to become useful.
The interesting design challenge is preserving why investors wanted gold while adding functionality around it.
If that works at scale, tokenized gold stops being merely a digital representation of an old asset.
It becomes a new piece of onchain financial infrastructure.
