Recently, precious metal tokens have become a hot topic in the crypto market. Speaking of which, silver's performance last year was indeed impressive — it surged over 150%, making it the top performer in the global asset return rankings. Gold also didn't stay idle, with a 66% annual increase, the largest in nearly 50 years.

This market trend has also prompted exchanges to follow suit. A leading exchange announced on January 7th the launch of Silver (XAG) spot and perpetual contracts, tracking global mainstream silver prices through digital derivatives. In simple terms, it means bringing precious metal prices onto the blockchain via tokenization for trading.

In fact, this exchange has been laying out its presence in the precious metals sector for some time. Currently, there are precious metal tokens like PAXG, XAUT, and XAG, allowing users to trade spot and derivatives. Precious metal tokens are gradually becoming a new hotspot in the crypto market, with many interested in the linkage between these assets and traditional financial markets.

PAXG1,61%

XAUT1,46%

Silver has increased by 150%. It's truly amazing. Now that it's on the blockchain, I'm even more excited.

Silver 150%, Gold 66%, these numbers look impressive, but do you really dare to go all in? --- Again with tokenization and on-chain transactions, it feels like just bringing traditional finance in to cut the leeks in a new way. --- PAXG, XAUT, XAG—so many options, choosing one easily leads to pitfalls, still hard to understand. --- Gold and silver prices are so volatile, once you open contract leverage, it could be liquidated in minutes. Forget it. --- I have to say, these two exchanges definitely jump on hot topics. Silver heats up, and they jump in immediately, very perceptive. --- Traditional finance sounds good with its linkage, but in reality, the risks are also linked, which is a bit ironic. --- Now everything has to be tokenized to truly integrate into Web3, which feels a bit over the top. --- A 150% increase—how do latecomers get on board? Those who should have gotten in early already did. --- Perpetual contracts are known to be very risky; leverage on precious metals is not a good idea.

A 150% increase, now someone is going to chase the high again. History always repeats itself.

Silver 150%? Wow, this increase is truly incredible. I finally understand why precious metal coins have been so popular lately—directly replicating the explosive gains of the financial market on the blockchain. By the way, is playing like this really exciting or just another wave of cutting leeks? I just want to know. Once the contract leverage is turned on, can you really hold up? Haha.

Silver rising 150% is truly incredible, but I still have some reservations about on-chain precious metal tokens; I feel it's easy to get caught in a trap.

Silver up 150%? Sister, why didn't I get in last year? Now I just found out? --- Everyone knows that precious metal tokens are hot, but how many dare to actually trade contracts... --- Trading precious metals on the blockchain, isn't this just traditional finance finding a new outlet? Should have done this earlier. --- PAXG, XAUT, XAG—so many options, how to choose? Has anyone actually tried trading them? --- Tracking global prices? I'd rather just look at spot prices directly, it's simpler. --- A 150% increase, the story sounds great, but who bears the risk? --- This exchange really knows how to jump on trends. As soon as the precious metals concept heats up, they follow along—feels right. --- With leverage on contracts, you can lose everything in gold and silver. I think I'll pass. --- Perpetual contracts sound fancy, but in reality, they're just betting on the price—nothing new. --- Speaking of precious metal tokens linked to real assets, why don't I just buy physical gold bars directly?
