Gold Slump to $4,239 Drags Crypto Markets, Tokenized Assets Hit

Major banks building a dedicated gold-clearing infrastructure signals that traditional finance is doubling down on gold as a settlement asset, potentially accelerating the development of blockchain-based gold tokens (e.g., PAXG, XAUT) that could bridge the gap between physical bullion and DeFi. Singapore’s move also competes with Hong Kong and London for bullion flow, which may reduce friction for gold-backed stablecoins in Asia, creating a parallel on-ramp that indirectly benefits crypto by teaching institutions settlement efficiency.
