The post Why Tokenized Gold Trading Crossed $90B in Q1 2026 (And What It Means for DeFi) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Tokenized gold trading volume reached $90.7 billion in Q1 2026 alone, exceeding the $84.6 billion recorded across all of 2025. The figure comes from CoinGecko’s Q1 2026 RWA Report, which documented tokenized commodities (overwhelmingly gold-backed) growing 289% from $1.43 billion to $5.55 billion in market capitalization over fifteen months.

Tokenized gold is no longer a side experiment in DeFi; it’s a measurable segment of on-chain activity with volume comparable to mid-cap altcoins.

Three young DeFi applications, Hyperliquid, Pump.fun and edgeX, returned $96.3 million to token holders in 30 days. The figure marks one of the largest concentrated payouts from any DeFi cohort tracked in 2026. Each protocol used a different mechanism to deliver the cash. Only Hyperliquid funded its full payout from trading fees alone. Pump.fun split revenue with operations, and edgeX paid out roughly three times what it earned. The DeFi Shift From Emissions to Real Revenue During the past cycle, DeFi protocols rewarded users by minting tokens and distributing them through liquidity programs. The model inflated supply faster than demand, leaving holders to absorb relentless dilution. Hyperliquid (HYPE), Pump.fun (PUMP) and edgeX (EDGE) sit at the front of a different cohort. They generate fees from active products and route part of those fees back to holder
