Tokenized gold trading has reached its highest level in two years, surpassing $1 billion in weekly volume as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid escalating global tensions triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s reintroduction of import tariffs.

This marks the first time tokenized gold has crossed the $1 billion threshold since March 2023, a period marked by a U.S. banking crisis that saw the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate’s voluntary liquidation, and the shutdown of Signature Bank by New York regulators.

According to a report from CEX.io shared with Cryptonews.com, interest in tokenized gold began surging again in early February 2025, as fears of a renewed global trade war began impacting digital asset markets.
