Monthly Market Update (April)

April marked a month where risk-on capital re-entered the market despite headlines still being dominated by the Iran war as investors increasingly came to terms with a future defined by heightened geopolitical conflicts and repositioned their capital for the new normal. Equity markets surged with the S&P 500 rising 10.4%, Nasdaq up 15.3%, Dow Jones up 7.1%. Globally, the MSCI Asia Pacific Ex Japan index rose 15.1%, while the MSCI Emerging Market gained 14.7%, largely driven by a rebound in capital inflows led by the tech sector as investors recalibrated their attention to the fundamental demand for AI hardware and services that remains even as the Iran war rages on.

The Tokenized Commodities Market in 2026: Evolution, Adoption, and Outlook

Tokenized commodities scaled rapidly over the past year, expanding its AUM from $1.37B to $5.46B YoY, representing an annual growth of ~300%. While the sector growth has accelerated, this expansion is largely attributed to increased demand for precious metals, specifically gold. The top 2 tokenized gold assets XAUT by Tether and PAXG by Paxos, collectively hold ~95% market share of total tokenized commodities. That concentration is not a weakness in itself. It is the clearest signal that the asset class has found product-market fit onchain, fuelling its recent growth. The question is no longer whether tokenized commodities will sustain — it has shifted to when they become a mainstream asset for retail investors and institutions alike. In this report, we examine the growth trajectory of tokenized commodities, the structural case for why the trend is durable, and the challenges and opportunities that will define its next phase.

Monthly Market Update (February)

February’s crypto markets were defined by a severe macro-driven deleveraging event on February 5, when Bitcoin plummeted over 14% — one of the steepest single-day declines on record — triggering $2.1 billion in liquidations. Unlike crypto-native shocks, this crash stemmed from Trump’s escalating tariff rhetoric and heightened U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions, driving capital rotation from risk assets to safe havens as spot gold surged past $5,172/oz.
