Arbitrum price

On September 3, 2025, Matrixport officially held a conference with the theme "Gold x Sui: Will RWA be the next wave of DeFi explosion?" The AMA event brought together a number of key ecological figures - Josh, Head of Commerce at Matrixdock, Alonso, Chief Economist of Sui Foundation, Marc Tillement, Director of Pyth Network Data Association, Carl, Head of Commerce at NAVI Protocol, Raj, Founder of AlphaLend, and CryptoDegen, Head of Commercial at Momentum, as guests to delve into gold tokens How XAUm expands DeFi applications on Sui and strengthens its positioning as "Asia's No. 1 Digital Gold". Focusing on the three core topics of "clarity of regulatory policies, increasing institutional adoption, and gradual maturity of DeFi infrastructure", the guests deeply analyzed how XAUm reconstructs the traditional gold lending model with the mechanism of "gold does not leave the warehouse, and interest can be earned on the chain", transforming it from an institution-only closed market to an open financial asset that everyone can participate in. With XAUm's launch on Sui and its inclusion in the Sui Foundation treasury, its position as the first gold token for non-EVM chains is further solidified. Protocol ecosystem support such as Pyth Network, AlphaLend, and NAVI is also accelerating the construction of a closed loop of on-chain applications of XAUm, promoting the on-chain integration of gold assets into a new stage. The wave of mainstreaming of RWA comes at a time, with gold becoming a new anchor for on-chain allocation Real-world assets (RWAs) have become one of the fastest-growing narrative directions in the crypto space in 2025. The continuous clarity of the regulatory environment and the accelerated layout of traditional institutions have jointly promoted the infrastructure construction and user acceptance of RWAs. Matrixdock's Josh said that the introduction of clear regulatory policies in the United States and Hong Kong has doubled the confidence of developers and investors; The entry of financial giants such as BlackRock and China AMC further verifies the institutional attractiveness of this track. In this context, the digital gold represented by XAUm not only stands out for its scarcity and anti-inflation characteristics, but also has become one of the most attractive assets in RWA with its on-chain characteristics such as composability, verifiability, and interest-bearing. XAUm realizes the transformation of gold from a "sleeping asset" to an on-chain "productivity asset" At the level of on-chain availability of gold, many guests pointed out that XAUm is changing the "unproductive" investment limitations of traditional gold assets. Raj shared that XAUm is becoming another institutional-grade collateral option in addition to stablecoins, allowing users to lend high collateral ratios and participate in strategy cycles on platforms like AlphaLend to easily achieve double-digit APYs. He emphasized that gold not only provides value stability, but its on-chain version also has different risk exposure than BTC and ETH, playing a central role in building a volatility-resistant portfolio. While Carl of NAVI pointed out that XAUm provides familiar asset types in the DeFi space, helping users transition from crypto-native to real assets naturally. Marc of Pyth Network added that as institutional participants and traditional users pour into the on-chain ecosystem, they are more inclined to allocate assets with real yield bases, such as gold and short-term Treasury bonds, and XAUm fills this market gap. XAUm x Sui: The optimal combination of performance, security, and ecology Matrixdock's choice to deploy XAUm on the Sui network is also based on a well-thought-out multi-factor judgment. Josh said that Sui has not only exceeded $2 billion in TVL, of which about 40% are stablecoin assets, indicating that its on-chain liquidity is highly real and active, and more importantly, its native integration of core stablecoins such as USDC ensures the efficiency of asset circulation. In addition, Sui supports sub-second transaction confirmation and scalability architecture, providing an ideal operating environment for RWA assets. The Sui Foundation's inclusion of XAUm in its official treasury has also become an important case for the first time that a public chain has included tokenized gold in its strategic reserves, demonstrating its long-term optimism about the future development of on-chain gold and even RWA. XAUm expands DeFi scenarios: Availability, yield, and risk resistance are fully upgraded When talking about XAUm's on-chain composability, Josh said that XAUm has achieved a variety of typical DeFi application scenarios, including decentralized lending, LP market making, DEX trading, and options strategies, with annualized returns ranging from single to double digits. Compared to the high volatility of BTC and ETH, XAUm provides a solid "defensive income anchor" for investment portfolios. Raj further noted that AlphaLend has achieved high collateral-to-value lending to XAUm with a collateral ratio of up to 89%, and provides full physical support through LBMA standard gold bars, which combines profitability and security, reducing systemic risk exposure. Compliance and Trust Mechanisms: Bridging traditional assets with decentralization During the AMA community session, Josh responded to the question of balancing compliance and decentralization. He pointed out that XAUm's minting and redemption process only requires lightweight KYC, which is far below the threshold of traditional securities products. Once minted, XAUm can circulate freely on-chain and can be used for transactions and protocol interactions without permission. LBMA endorsements, on-chain verification mechanisms, and regular audits by Bureau Veritas further ensure the stability and transparency of the underlying gold assets. In terms of capital efficiency, XAUm's current collateral lending strategy on AlphaLend offers up to 15–20% annualized returns, making it an attractive growth window for early participants. Over there On-chain gold has entered the mainstream system, and Asia's first digital gold ecosystem has accelerated its formation With the official inclusion of XAUm in the official treasury configuration by the Sui Foundation, XAUm has become not only a technical exploration of on-chain gold, but also a strategic RWA asset in the global DeFi ecosystem. This decision is comparable to the first time Arbitrum or MakerDAO has been included in RWA, representing a high recognition of the credibility, transparency, and asset audit mechanism of gold on-chain, and also paving the way for the application of XAUm at the institutional level. As Asia's No. 1 digital gold, XAUm is reshaping the value path of gold as a traditional safe-haven asset, accelerating the transformation of on-chain gold from an "experimental asset" to a core asset of DeFi, providing a realistic paradigm and strong ecological support for RWA to become the next stage of growth engine.
