The recent surge in gold prices is truly extraordinary. Major brands like Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang have seen gold prices soar to 1450 yuan per gram, hitting a new all-time high. Looking back over the past decade, gold prices have climbed from 232 yuan in 2015. This isn’t just numbers moving; essentially, global money is seeking safe havens.

In contrast, Bitcoin is now at a crossroads—will it break through 200,000 USD or fall back to 90,000? We won’t know until 2026.

These two assets form a stark contrast: one is a tangible asset that has withstood a thousand years of testing and is now being fiercely bought up; the other is a highly volatile digital asset with uncertain prospects. This puts investors in a dilemma: is there a way to get the best of both worlds—combining the certainty and stable returns of gold with the high efficiency of the crypto world?

Honestly, the wild rise of gold fundamentally reflects distrust in fiat currencies and geopolitical risks. But here’s the problem—ordinary people either can’t afford physical gold or find storage and liquidity troublesome, often less liquid than financial assets.

Is there a way to find an on-chain asset that possesses gold-like qualities (stability, yield-generating, easy to trade) while being in digital form? This is exactly the hottest new direction in DeFi—tokenization of real-world assets, or RWA. The core idea is to bring tangible assets like gold and government bonds onto the blockchain in the form of cryptocurrencies, allowing everyone to hold them easily and earn stable income directly.
