Crypto exchanges are starting to list gold and silver. Small exchanges are listing them, and now big exchanges are doing it too. This shows that other altcoins, even meme coins, barely have any trading activity anymore, so they’re resorting to listing these precious metals. Looks like the platforms relying on transaction fees can’t hold on anymore. They’ve given up on the idea of overthrowing fiat currency and are just trying to make whatever profit they can. As long as there’s trading demand, they’ll list it, no matter the chaos. But here’s the problem: these contracts will definitely need hedging when they’re first listed, right? If the hedging is restricted like in China, or if it’s outright shut down like in Thailand, what happens then? In the end, isn’t it the users who bear all the consequences?
