The Core Differences Between Bitcoin and Tokenized Gold
Bitcoin is a native cryptocurrency that relies on technological consensus and a decentralized network, with a fixed supply of 21 million coins and strong censorship resistance. Tokenized gold, on the other hand, is a representation of physical gold on the blockchain, relying on the credit endorsement of custodial institutions, combining the risk-hedging properties of traditional gold with the liquidity of blockchain.
Investment Characteristics Comparison
Volatility: Bitcoin prices are highly volatile (for example, in 2025, a single-day increase reached 5.9%), suitable for high-risk tolerators; tokenized gold has lower volatility, closer to physical gold.
Liquidity: The Bitcoin market is open 24 hours, with strong liquidity; tokenized gold relies on on-chain trading platforms, with liquidity limited by regulation.
Regulatory Environment: Tokenization of gold must comply with traditional financial regulations, while the regulatory attitude towards Bitcoin varies by country.
Technical Architecture and Trust Model
Bitcoin achieves "trustlessness" through code, with nodes jointly maintaining the network; gold tokenization relies on centralized institutions to verify physical reserves.
