[Gold Prices Continue to Hit New Highs, Digital Gold Products Like XAUm Gain Attention] According to Mars Finance, the international precious metals market has recently strengthened overall. Prices of major precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum have successively hit record highs. Reuters reported that spot gold touched approximately $4,525 per ounce during trading, breaking the $4,500 per ounce mark for the first time; its cumulative increase this year has exceeded 70%. Meanwhile, silver and platinum prices also reached historical highs, with the precious metals sector showing outstanding overall performance. Market analysts believe that this round of precious metal price increases is related to rising geopolitical uncertainty, increased demand for safe-haven assets, and expectations regarding future interest rate cuts. Against this backdrop, digital asset forms related to gold have also attracted attention. As the price of the underlying asset rises, the discussion surrounding gold tokenized assets has increased accordingly. Represented by XAUm, a gold token launched by Matrixdock, a RWA platform under Matrixport, this type of product uses physical gold as the underlying asset and introduces the value of gold into the on-chain system through a tokenized structure, providing digital asset investors with a new value carrier option. As gold prices rise, there is increasing exploration of gold tokens in terms of on-chain holding, transfer, and potential financial applications (such as staking and DeFi participation), making them a focus of attention in the recent precious metals market.
