Gold token market faces uncertainty due to precious metal price swings

Gold price surge drives demand for tokenized gold, a digital coin backed by physical gold. There are nearly 20 gold tokens with a $6 billion market capitalization. Industry experts warn of custody and regulatory risks due to unclear ownership and storage of underlying metal. Tokens Paxos and Tether account for over half the market, with Paxos holding 16.2 tons of physical gold.
