FROM HEDGE ASSETS TO CHAIN TOPS: CHANGES IN ROLE OF PRECIOUS METALS IN THE RWA CYCLE

Over the past year, the global financial markets have been undergoing a process of re-evaluation that has not been dramatic but has been profound. High interest rates, geo-conflict, fiscal deficits and sovereign debt problems are intertwined, leading investors to re-examine an issue that appears to be “old” — what is a truly reliable anchor of value

The answer is not new, but the trend is clear: precious metals, such as gold and silver, are being repositioned at the heart of asset allocation。

This round of precious metals presents a more obvious structural feature than the phased rise under the traditional inflation cycle. Gold rises in a high-interest-rate environment, and the silver bank continues to rise in sharp fluctuations, reflecting not a single market factor, but a long-standing concern of global capital over the system of French currency credit. When “cash holding” no longer means security, physical assets that have no sovereign credit attributes are naturally one of the movements of funds。

From “physical avoidance” to “chain assets”: morphological changes in precious metals

It is noteworthy that the return of this round of precious metals did not remain within the traditional financial system. As the chain infrastructure maturesREAL WORLD ASSETS (RWA)The chainization began at the substantive stage, and precious metals were the first type of asset accepted by the market。

Gold and silver alone have not changed, and what has changed is their “how they exist”. Through monetization, precious metals have been able to enter the chain trading system in the form of 1:1 physical anchors, breaking down the constraints of the trading time, geography and account system and moving from a “market-specific risk avoidance tool” to digital assets that can flow around the world at 7 x 24 hours。

This change has brought about not only trade facilitation, but also, and more importantly, the re-establishment of the mechanisms of price discovery and liquidity. Currencyized precious metals are no longer confined to single exchange or market time, but form closer combinations with encrypted assets, stable currencies, derivatives, etc., and increasingly become an important bridge between traditional finance and encrypted markets。

UNDER RWA, PRECIOUS METALS BECOME THE MOST REALISTIC PLACE TO LAND

OF THE MANY RWA ASSET TYPES, PRECIOUS METALS ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE THE RELATIVELY MANAGEABLE AND THE LOWEST COGNITIVE COST OF RISK. ON THE ONE HAND, THE VALUE LOGIC OF GOLD AND SILVER HAS LONG BEEN VALIDATED BY THE MARKET; ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS HIGHLY STANDARDIZED, RESERVES AND AUDITING SYSTEMS ARE MATURE AND CAN BE MORE EASILY COMBINED WITH CHAIN MAPPING MECHANISMS。

This has also made precious metals one of the first groups to be traded on a scale in the development of TradeFi (traditional financial asset monetization). Precious metal monetization has a natural advantage in compliance and structural design compared to the high reliance on regulatory and liquidation systems for assets such as equities and bonds。

It is against this background that a growing number of trading platforms have begun to see precious metals as a basic module of the “all-asset trading system” rather than as a simple complementary category。

BitMart: Pre-calculated precious metal transactions in the full asset age

BitMart, as the digital asset trading platform for the continuous advancement of TradeFi, does not view the monetization of precious metals as a short-term hotspot, but rather as part of a long-term asset-wide strategy. Currently, the platform is online and includesPAXGI don't knowXAUTI don't knowKAG.Contract transactionsYes, it provides users with diversified ways to participate in the volatility of gold and silver prices。

The advantages of chain trading are greater flexibility than traditional precious metals investments. A uniform trading interface, a 24-hour market-based mechanism, allows users to configure and switch precious metals and other assets in the same account system without the need for frequent movements of funds between different financial systems。

More importantly, the location of precious metals in BitMart does not exist in isolation, but, as part of the “cross-asset allocation”, forms, together with stock tokens and encrypted assets, a dynamically adjusted portfolio structure. This design approach, centred on the efficiency of the user configuration, is also the key to the TradeFi narrative。

It's not just a trade, it's the evolution of infrastructure

In the longer term, the value of the monetization of precious metals may not be due to short-term trading activity, but rather to its “pressure tests” of the entire financial infrastructure. When real assets begin to be traded on a continuous basis in chain form, the platform ' s liquidity management, wind control capabilities and system stability will be put to higher standards。

In this process, the role of the trading platform is changing — from mere asset builders to infrastructure providers connecting different financial systems. BitMart continues to expand the monetization of traditional assets, such as precious metals, in response to this trend。

As global asset allocation moves towards borderlessization, precious metals are no longer just “old friends who think of avoiding risk”, but rather become a stable and important link in the digital financial system. The trading infrastructure built around these assets will also determine the depth and breadth of the next phase of market competition。

Perhaps the real long-term variable is who can better carry these “slow and steady” assets in the early stages of the full asset age。
