Physical gold meets onchain DeFi infra.

@CreekFinance just went live on Sui with @matrixdock's XAUm- enabling borrowing, swapping, and yield generation against tokenized physical gold.

A new yield layer for gold is live on Sui. https://t.co/pFB4o1Zjmv

[Creek Finance @creekfinance]

Gold onchain: $5.3B, up 2,890%. $XAUm: $0 → $73M in a year.

Yet every gold token just sits there — no yield, no leverage, no composability.

Creek fixes this. Three primitives. One protocol.

Built on $XAUm × @SuiNetwork.

Gold’s not stopping.

Per JP Morgan Commodities Research analysts, gold is projected to rise an additionaly 14.6% to over $5,000 per ounce in 2026:

Half a year ago after @DefiIgnas dropped this gem, tokenized gold's still dominating . @creekfinance is making it effortless - real yield on gold in DeFi, so your exposure actually compounds instead of just sitting there. Skip the alt fomo traps. Get positioned smart this time and no more 'shoulda woulda' regrets. 🚀

I'd be happy to store my crypto gains in Gold stables during longer-term crypto uncertainty or bear runs vs. USD stables.

Especially as DXY is down by 10% since January.

Last cycles it wasn't an option but now gold-backed stablecoins hit a $1.9B market cap.

PAX Gold and Tether's each have ~$840M MC.

Yet, their onchain liquidity is... not great not terrible..

Trading $1m USDC on Cowswap with 0.76% slippage.

Still, liquidity is improving as more DeFi protocols add them as collateral:

- Fluid supports both with 9.3% yield
- Aave just voted to Temp check to onboard XAUt
- Curve supports XAUt-PAXG LP with 2% yield

But how fast can they grow?

Problem: fiat backed stablecoins earn interest from U.S. Treasuries but gold has no yield.

Instead, both Paxos and Tether charge a 0.25% issuing and redeeming fees (although Paxos fees depend on amounts).

So profitability depends on their issuance/redemption fees.

Obviously, the higher the MC of gold stables, the more transactions will happen thus higher fees are generating.

And they need them to get integrated into DeFi and trading platforms.

Anyone knows how much both issuers make from Gold stables?

btw, fun fact: both issuers hold physical gold, not ETFs. Tether holds it in Switzerland vaults while Paxos in London.

The State of Gold: Bulls in control as gold eyes all-time highs

Monday open: Gold gaps up to ~$4,337/oz, hitting its highest level since Oct 21.

It’s a decisive move driven by a perfect macro storm.

[damian @averagehattrick]

if you hold bitcoins, you have to hold some gold.

[Creek Finance @creekfinance]

Every cycle, the same script: easy money → bubbles → pain.

If “doing nothing” with your money means being quietly eaten by inflation, what counts as a real anchor anymore?

History’s answer to that question has been the same for centuries: gold.

🇺🇸 TRUMP: WE WILL IMPOSE A TARIFF OF 100% ON CHINA

"It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them.

This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago.

It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying.

Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

DAT rumor mill here is bordering on schizophrenic.

Never thought I’d see the day where projects are literally telling you they’re raising 9 - 10 figures in cash to buy coins and CT’s reaction is hysteria and outrage.

Not everything is a conspiracy my friends.
