In contrast, gold prices hit fresh highs, lifting tokenized gold assets. This morning, spot gold (XAUUSD) surged to $3,687 per ounce, setting a new all-time high. Over the past 24 hours, PAX Gold (PAXG) rose 1.39% to $3,689, while Tether Gold (XAUt) gained 1.27%, trading at $3,682.

Institutional sentiment remains bullish on gold, which could further support tokenized gold assets. UBS recently raised its year-end 2025 gold price target from $3,500 to $3,800 per ounce, while ANZ also revised its forecast upward from $3,600 to $3,800.
