Recent market data shows tokenized gold tokens such as XAUT and PAXG climbing alongside bullion prices as geopolitical tensions drive investors toward traditional safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<p>On-chain data also shows that Antalpha recently transferred around $15 million worth of XAUT to the institutional platform Cobo, a custody and digital asset infrastructure provider. <\/p>\n<p>The move has sparked speculation that the firm could be actively managing or partially realizing gains from its profitable gold position.<\/p>\n<p>XAUT is a gold-backed digital asset issued by Tether, with each token representing one troy ounce of physical gold stored in secure vaults. <\/p>\n<p>Tokenized gold products such as XAUT and Paxos-issued PAXG allow investors to gain exposure to bullion prices while benefiting from blockchain-based transferability and settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Antalpha has previously signaled plans to incorporate tokenized gold into its treasury strategy as part of broader diversification efforts. The company said it aims to allocate up to $40 million into Tether Gold by June 2025, reflecting growing institutional interest in tokenized commodities.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto fintech firm Antalpha is sitting on more than $100 million in unrealized gains after building a large position in tokenized gold, showing rising institutional demand for blockchain-based exposure to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23618,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23617\/revisions\/23618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
