While gold is the steady anchor, silver has always been the more volatile, industrial-driven sibling. Tokenization supercharges this because: Collateralization: In the DeFi space, tokenized silver (xAG) can be used as collateral for loans, allowing investors to stay long on the metal while accessing liquid capital. The "Unit Bias" Win: Investors who feel "priced out" of gold bars can easily accumulate fractional silver tokens with the same ease as buying $0.10 of a crypto asset. Arbitrage Efficiency: Real-time on-chain pricing reduces the "spread" often found at physical bullion dealers, making it more attractive for active traders. The 2026 Perspective We are moving past the "Proof of Concept" phase. As institutional rails (like BlackRock’s BUIDL or similar RWA vehicles) gain trust, the bridge between TradFi and Web3 isn't just a gimmick—it’s the new standard for settlement #AYATAC
