According to ChainCatcher, Tom Wan, head of data analysis at Entropy Advisors, wrote on the X platform that the price of gold has broken through $4,000 for the first time, up 54% year-to-date (Bitcoin rose 31% during the same period). Tokenized gold can be an option for cryptocurrency natives, allowing them to gain gold exposure without having to physically store gold. The monthly DEX trading volumes of PAXG and XAUT hit all-time highs in September (US$118.1 million and US$62.75 million, respectively), with Uniswap and Curve being the main trading venues.
