1. The Strong Return of the Gold Market: the New Trend of Safe Haven in 2025

Data shows that the price of gold has been fluctuating within a certain range recently, but overall it is showing an upward trend. On Monday (November 24, 2025), the price of gold rebounded after testing the stability of $4,040/ounce. At one point, it rose nearly $30 during the day, breaking through the integer level of $4,100 and reaching a daily high of $4,139/ounce near the close.

Overall, in 2025, the performance of the gold market exceeded most people’s expectations. With the intensification of global macroeconomic uncertainty, the price of gold has been rising all the way, breaking through the historical high of $4,000 per ounce. Gold is not only a traditional safe-haven asset, but also has returned to investors’ sight in the face of inflationary pressures, geopolitical conflicts, and currency system trust crises. From the beginning of 2025 to the fourth quarter, the price of gold rose by 54.5%, and its market value exceeded $28.90 trillion, firmly ranking first in the world’s assets. Behind this strong rally is the combined effect of the surge in global debt levels, the crisis of trust in the US dollar, and the continuous increase in gold reserves by central banks. The rise in gold prices is a response to the uncertainty of the traditional financial system, and investors have turned to gold as a hard asset to hedging the risks of currency depreciation and economic recession.

The three major driving forces behind the rapid growth of gold:

• Inflation and the crisis of confidence in the dollar : Soaring global debt levels and heightened geopolitical conflicts have exacerbated the crisis of confidence in the dollar, driving money to “hard assets” such as gold in search of a hedge.
• Central bank purchases of gold : Central banks in emerging economies have increased their purchases of gold reserves, providing strong support for the rise in gold prices.
• Technical breakthroughs resonate with market sentiment : After the gold price broke through the $3,000 mark, trend funds and ETF funds quickly poured in, pushing the gold price further up.

2. The Rise of On-chain Gold: the Perfect Integration of the Gold Market and Crypto Assets

While the gold price continues to rise, tokenized gold, such as TetherGold ( XAUT ) and PAXGold ( PAXG ), has gradually become the new favorite of gold investment due to its digitization and high liquidity. This new type of asset digitizes gold ownership through blockchain technology, not only retaining the “hard value” of gold, but also possessing the liquidity and transparency of encrypted assets. Compared with traditional gold ETFs, tokenized gold has the advantages of convenient trading, strong liquidity, and low cost. Investors can query the serial number and storage information of gold bars in real-time through the blockchain platform to ensure the authenticity and traceability of gold.

Advantages of Tokenized Gold:

• Low barriers to entry : Investors can participate in the gold market with smaller amounts of money without having to buy whole bars.
• Liquidity is strong : you can trade 24 hours a day on mainstream centralized exchanges, such as MEXC, without waiting for clearing cycles.
• Transparent and traceable : Tokenized gold assets can be verified through blockchain to ensure their authenticity and eliminate the trust risk of traditional “paper gold”.

This emerging digital gold market is attracting more and more investors, especially those who hope to find a balance between the traditional gold market and cryptoassets. As a leading tokenized gold trading platform, the MEXC platform provides a convenient channel for users to easily enter the gold market. Through low-threshold trading methods, investors can not only enjoy the potential of gold preservation and appreciation, but also seize market opportunities and flexibly adjust investment strategies.
