🥇 PAXG vs XAUT — Bringing Gold onto the Blockchain
We've entered an era where you can hold gold not just by buying it, but as a token on the blockchain.
PAXG and XAUT are currently the leading players in tokenized gold.
📊 Current Market Cap
🟡 XAUT — ~$3.36B
🟡 PAXG — ~$1.80B
That means that, based on current market cap, XAUT is significantly larger than PAXG.
But market cap isn't the only interesting thing.
The tokenized gold market as a whole is also gradually growing. Valued at around ~$1.8B in 2025, it grew to over ~$5.9B in 2026.
🔮 What might happen next?
If more people want to hold gold on the blockchain—
• The tokenized gold market could get bigger
• The use of PAXG / XAUT could increase
• Gold could be used more as collateral in DeFi
• Could continue to grow alongside the RWA (Real-World Assets) sector
Most importantly—
Rising gold prices + the growing trend of putting gold on the blockchain
If both of these trends continue, PAXG and XAUT could be considered among the assets worth keeping an eye on in the long term.
