BTCC Sees Record $301M in Tokenized Precious Metals Trading as Silver Demand Spikes

News Brief
BTCC, widely recognized as the world's longest-running cryptocurrency exchange, achieved an unprecedented $301.70 million in daily tokenized precious metals volume on January 27, 2026. This surge came as investors increasingly sought safe-haven assets amid mounting economic and geopolitical uncertainties. Silver futures led the charge—SILVERUSDT alone captured $245.00 million, representing over 80 percent of the day's activity. Meanwhile, gold-based tokens including PAXGUSDT, XAUTUSDT, and GOLDUSDT collectively contributed another $56.70 million. Analysts believe this spike reflects surging industrial silver demand alongside a broader migration toward blockchain-based real-world assets. Last year, BTCC processed $53.10 billion in RWA futures, with quarterly volume skyrocketing 18-fold from Q1 to Q4. Consequently, tokenized metals and stocks—such as NVIDIA and Tesla—have emerged as preferred options for users seeking traditional market exposure within a crypto environment. As BTCC enters its 15th year, the platform is preparing to launch TradFi, a unified solution enabling users to trade stocks, commodities, indices, forex, and crypto from a single account, thereby bridging traditional and digital finance.

BTCC, the longest-operating crypto exchange globally, recorded its highest-ever daily volume for tokenized precious metals on January 27, 2026, reaching $301.7 million. The surge reflects growing investor interest in safe-haven assets amid escalating macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.

Silver futures led the activity on the platform, with SILVERUSDT alone generating $245 million, over 80 percent of the total daily volume. Gold-based tokens, including PAXGUSDT, XAUTUSDT, and GOLDUSDT, accounted for a combined $56.7 million.

The volume spike comes amid rising industrial demand for silver and a broader market trend toward real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchain infrastructure. In 2025, BTCC processed $53.1 billion in RWA futures trading, with quarterly volume increasing 18 times between the first and fourth quarters. Tokenized metals and equities such as NVIDIA and Tesla have become core offerings for users seeking traditional asset exposure through a crypto-native environment.

This momentum continues into 2026 as BTCC prepares to launch “TradFi,” an all-in-one product allowing users to trade across asset classes, including stocks, commodities, indices, forex, and crypto, via a single account. Now in its 15th year, the exchange is advancing efforts to unify traditional and digital markets and responding to growing demand for hybrid financial solutions.

Tokenized Assets Shift From Wrappers to Building Blocks in DeFi

Tokenized Assets Shift From Wrappers to Building Blocks in DeFi

The post Tokenized Assets Shift From Wrappers to Building Blocks in DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RWAs are rapidly moving on-chain, unlocking new opportunities for investors and DeFi protocols, according to a new report from Dune and RWAxyz. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are moving beyond digital versions of traditional securities to become key building blocks of decentralized finance (DeFi), according to the 2025 RWA Report from Dune and RWAxyz. The report notes that Treasuries, bonds, credit, and equities are now being used in DeFi as collateral, trading instruments, and yield products. This marks tokenization’s “real breakthrough” – composability, or the ability to combine and reuse assets across different protocols. Projects are already showing how this works in practice. Asset manager Maple Finance’s syrupUSDC, for example, has grown to $2.5 billion, with more than 30% placed in DeFi apps like Spark ($570 million). Centrifuge’s new deJAAA token, a wrapper for Janus Henderson’s AAA CLO fund, is already trading on Aerodrome, Coinbase and other exchanges, with Stellar planned next. Meanwhile, Aave’s Horizon RWA Market now lets institutional users post tokenized Treasuries and CLOs as collateral. This trend underscores a bigger shift: RWAs are no longer just copies of traditional assets; instead, they are becoming core parts of on-chain finance, powering lending, liquidity, and yield, and helping to close the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi. “RWAs have crossed the chasm from experimentation to execution,” Sid Powell, CEO of Maple Finance, says in the report. “Our growth to $3.5B AUM reflects a broader shift: traditional financial services are adopting crypto assets while institutions seek exposure to on-chain markets.” Investor demand for higher returns and more diversified options is mainly driving this growth. Tokenized Treasuries proved there is strong demand, with $7.3 billion issued by September 2025 – up 85% year-to-date. The growth was led by BlackRock, WisdomTree, Ondo, and Centrifuge’s JTRSY (Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund). Spark’s $1…
