Tokenized gold tokens XAUt and PAXG prices fell more than 6% each over the past 24 hours as the price of gold slumped to its biggest intraday dip.

Summary
  • Tether Gold and PAX Gold fell 6% each as tokenized gold tokens slumped alongside Gold.
  • Spot gold fell to $4,122 an ounce, with the precious metal falling to its biggest intraday drop since 2013.
  • Bitcoin saw slight gains amid the gold slump, rising to above $112,000.

As Bitcoin price edged up to above $112,000 amid a slight uptick for cryptocurrencies, the top two tokenized gold tokens by market cap bucked the trend. Tether Gold (XAUt) and PAX Gold (PAXG) both slipped by more than 6% to change hands around $4,120 at the time of writing.

Why are XAUt and PAXG down today?

Crypto market’s broader uptick came as stocks surged amid a flurry of positive earnings reports on Wall Street. The upside across equities cascaded into cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, gold suffered its biggest single-day drop in more than 10 years. 

The tanking also saw gold record its steepest intraday fall since 2013.

As gold dropped 6% to under $4,120 an ounce, tokens backed by holdings of the precious metal dumped. 

XAUt and PAXG prices mirrored the declines in the top safe haven asset, with an upbeat sentiment for risk-on assets seeing analysts forecast a potential capital rotation from gold to Bitcoin (BTC).

But while Bitcoin holders eye more gains, economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff has other ideas. He agrees the decline is “quite a shakeout,” but says it only offers another chance for BTC holders to dump the digital asset and “buy the real thing.”

Tether Gold and PAX Gold prices hit highs of $4,391 and $4,430 respectively on October 17, 2024, gains that aligned with gold’s parabolic surge. However, as the rally that catapulted gold to a new all-time hits a halt, the Tether and Paxos issued tokens are also paring gains.

Kalshi Launches KalshiEco to Boost Prediction Market With Solana and Base

The post Kalshi Launches KalshiEco to Boost Prediction Market With Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Wednesday, Kalshi introduces the KalshiEco hub with the support from Solana and Base to bolster prediction market growth. The initiative would bolster selected builders, traders, and creators with hands-on support, including grant funding, engineering assistance, referral programs, etc.  Kalshi faces legal scrutiny in Massachusetts as the firm is accused of running unlicensed sports betting under the guise of a prediction market. Kalshi, the federally regulated prediction market operator, is expanding its operations into the broader trading and builder community by introducing KalshiEco, a program that the operator is experimenting with to serve developers, traders, and creators trying on-chain and off-chain prediction market projects. The action is happening at a time when the company is under increased legal scrutiny, such as in a recent case in Massachusetts, which alleged that the company was running what state regulators term as an illegal form of sports betting. KalshiEco Ecosystem Growth The KalshiEco program is designed such that it establishes feedback between the builders and audiences. Developers are also encouraged to release new applications; creators, on the other hand, promote those tools to a wider audience, which in turn is likely to draw more attention and further development of the project. This cycle has been positioned by the company as a growth flywheel that is meant to ensure that momentum is maintained within the ecosystem. Among the selected participants, various incentives are being offered as part of the initiative. Among them, there is direct funding in the form of grants, verified badges on the social media X, individual referral programs, and engineering-specific support of projects that need more technical rigor. Other benefits are competitions in trade, branded products, and continuous community self-identification. These resources are being made by the company more as a working aid than as a marketing gift and this is…
