Core Viewpoint - The combination of gold and stablecoins has advantages, but future development needs to overcome certain obstacles. If mechanisms are improved, gold-backed stablecoins can serve as a store of value and, under specific conditions, as a means of payment and settlement [1][5]. Group 1: Gold Stablecoin Overview - Gold stablecoins are emerging as a new favorite in the cryptocurrency market, following the popularity of dollar-backed stablecoins. They are cryptocurrencies pegged to gold, sharing characteristics such as value stability and decentralization [2]. - The gold stablecoin market is currently dominated by two main players: Tether's XAUT and Paxos' PAXG, each holding nearly half of the market share. As of June 2025, the market capitalization of gold stablecoins is projected to reach $1.6 billion, accounting for approximately 0.67% of the total stablecoin market [2]. Group 2: Advantages of Gold Stablecoins - Compared to gold ETFs and futures, stablecoins enhance the convenience of gold trading through their decentralized nature: - They eliminate time and space constraints, allowing for global transactions at any time via blockchain technology. - They lower investment barriers by enabling fractional ownership of gold bars, with the ability to split ownership down to six decimal places (approximately 0.02 yuan). - They reduce transaction costs, with low fees (e.g., PAXG charges 0.02%) [3]. Group 3: Challenges Facing Gold Stablecoins - There are three main challenges that gold stablecoins must overcome: - The inherent conflict between the monetary functions of gold and stablecoins. Stablecoins primarily enhance payment and settlement functions, while gold serves more as a store of value, making their combination somewhat forced [4]. - Gold stablecoins have not fully realized their potential for value stability. The low number of holders leads to low trading turnover, shallow market depth, and significant deviations from London gold prices [4]. - There are issues with credit verification that contradict the decentralized and trustless nature of blockchain. Regulatory frameworks for physical collateral-backed stablecoins are still lagging, with existing legislation primarily covering fiat-backed stablecoins, leaving gold stablecoins facing compliance uncertainties [4].
