BTCC Exchange reached a historic milestone by surpassing $5 billion in annual trading volume for gold-based tokenized real-world assets. The platform recorded an explosive growth of 809% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the beginning of the year. According to Marcus Chen, product manager of the company, this increase responds to the growing demand for precious metals on the blockchain.
On the other hand, the exchange closed the annual cycle with an exact figure of $5.72 billion transacted in gold derivatives. Likewise, the growth report for the fourth quarter highlights that this period represented 48% of the total annual activity. This phenomenon underlines the accelerated convergence between traditional finance and the modern digital asset ecosystem. Quarterly volume rose to $2.74 billion dollars by the end of the holiday season.
It is also relevant to mention that the rally of the precious metal was driven by international geopolitical tensions. Therefore, investors sought refuge in products that replicate the price of gold through perpetual futures contracts. The platform currently offers three different tokenized gold products to meet various trader needs. These instruments allow direct exposure without the logistical complications of physical storage of the metal. BTCC’s growth surpassed other asset classes throughout the course of the past year.
Digital gold boom drives massive growth in global markets
Additionally, the platform’s offering includes GOLDUSDT, which tracks the gold spot price accurately. On the other hand, they have PAXGUSDT, a token physically backed by Paxos under strict NYDFS regulation. They also integrated XAUTUSDT, issued by Tether, which offers on-chain transferability to facilitate integration with financial protocols. Each PAX Gold token represents one physical troy ounce held in secure and certified vaults. In this way, crypto-asset market liquidity merges with the historical stability of gold.
However, the success of these products is not an isolated fact within the company’s overall balance sheet. The total volume of tokenized futures at the firm reached $53.1 billion dollars in 2025. Therefore, tokenized gold already represents approximately 10.7% of the total operations performed. This asset category grew almost eight times faster than the rest of the available financial products. Likewise, institutional recognition of real digital assets has been a fundamental engine for this increase.
What technical factors allowed the success of BTCC products?
On the other hand, the platform’s technological infrastructure allowed managing the increase in users without reporting operational failures. Marcus Chen emphasized that gold is just the beginning of an expansion into other basic products. Likewise, the firm founded in 2011 plans to introduce more cryptocurrencies linked to traditional commodities in the near future. BTCC currently serves more than 11 million users spread across more than 100 different countries. In this way, the democratization of access to digital precious metals is consolidated as an irreversible trend.
Finally, the integration of traditional assets into decentralized networks promises to transform global retail and institutional trading. The firm is expected to soon announce new partnerships and launches of similar assets to maintain its competitive advantage. The real-world asset tokenization market will continue to be a strategic pillar for the growth of crypto-finance. Therefore, BTCC’s vision points toward a total diversification of financial products for its international clients.
