Commodity-Backed Cryptocurrencies Hit 5-Year Minting Record Over Gold Trade Turmoil
Commodity-backed cryptocurrencies, which are dominated by gold-backed tokens, have seen a historic surge in issuance this week, with minting volumes hitting their highest point in at least five years.
The leap comes after gold futures traded above a $3,500 all-time high this week, after the Swiss Precious Metals Association warned that the U.S.’s 39% tariffs on Switzerland could have “negative impact" on the international flow of physical gold. Both gold spot and futures fell after the initial surge, when a White House official told Bloomberg that the President would introduce a policy clarifying that imports of gold bars should not be subject to tariffs.

Switzerland, which refines a large share of the world’s gold despite having no mines of its own, exported more than $61 billion worth of the metal to the U.S. over the past year.
The move has triggered a political backlash in Switzerland, with some lawmakers calling for the gold sector to shoulder part of the economic fallout. The precious metal makes up over a quarter of Switzerland’s exports, per Swiss National Bank data.
