[Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's Tang Bo: Gold Tokens Can Generate Yield On-Chain, Unlike Traditional Gold ETFs] Odaily Planet Daily News – Tang Bo, Assistant Dean of the Institute of Financial Technology at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, stated that the tokenization of gold is becoming one of the most promising tracks in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). The value of gold as a safe-haven asset is making a comeback, and tokenization technology will grant this ancient asset brand-new financial attributes. Gold tokenization is different from traditional gold ETFs. Gold tokens are certificates that correspond 1:1 to physical gold, allowing holders to directly withdraw the physical gold from vaults, whereas ETFs are merely asset certificates. More importantly, gold tokens can generate interest on the blockchain, further activating the financial attributes of gold through methods such as collateralized lending.
