BTCC, a global digital-asset exchange, reported explosive growth in tokenized precious metals futures trading amid rising volatility in global markets. As of the 27th, the daily volume across tokenized precious metals pairs surpassed $317 million, a record for the exchange since its inception.
Silver, traded as SILVERUSDT, dominated the activity, accounting for about 81% of total precious metals trading. Gold-related pairs such as PAXGUSDT, XAUTUSDT, and GOLDUSDT traded roughly $56.7 million on the same day.
Analysts interpret these figures as signaling that geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty are pushing investors toward safe-haven assets, with tokenized silver benefiting from both investment demand and potential industrial usage. BTCC’s growth in tokenized precious metals comes alongside its broader push into real-world asset (RWA) products, highlighting a strategic expansion beyond pure digital assets. BTCC reported that its 2025 total RWA futures volume reached $53.1 billion, with quarterly volumes increasing 18-fold in the fourth quarter versus the first. Looking ahead, the exchange plans to launch TradFi—a single-account platform for trading stocks, commodities, indices, and forex—to bridge traditional finance with digital assets.
