The tokenized commodities market has surged to $7 billion, driven largely by gold-backed tokens like Tether Gold, which accounts for nearly 40% of the tokenized gold market. Tether Gold's underlying gold reserves increased by 36% in Q1, reflecting a structural shift beyond just hedging against uncertainty.
