Gold has seen wild swings over the last week, hitting record highs near US$5,600 per ounce before plunging nearly 10 percent to around US$4,700 in the sharpest drop in over a decade. The real story, though, isn’t just the price action, but how tokenized gold is modernizing one of the world’s oldest reserve assets for a new era.
Leading this charge is Gold Token SA (GTSA), the gold tokenization arm of Swiss precious metals giant MKS PAMP.
Under the leadership of CEO Kurt Hemecker, GTSA is transforming how institutions and individual investors interact with the world’s oldest reserve asset by placing it on modern rails.
As digital assets like Bitcoin struggle to maintain their safe-haven narrative amid high-profile fraud cases, institutions are seeking trusted assets on modern rails, where blockchain’s functional advantages — such as 24/7 liquidity and instant settlement — can upgrade low-volatility reserve assets via tokenization.
The infrastructure bridge: Legal title and institutional trust
MKS PAMP is a family-owned global powerhouse that operates one of the world’s most renowned refineries.
By launching the DGLD token on the Base network, Coinbase’s Layer 2 blockchain, in mid-December 2025, GTSA effectively bridged the gap between 60 years of Swiss precious metals heritage and US-centric blockchain technology.
Unlike speculative crypto tokens, “DGLD is designed to represent allocated physical gold rather than a claim on an issuer,” prioritizing the institutionalization of real-world assets through transparent governance, Hemecker said.
”That design approach is important in jurisdictions like the US, where regulators are still clarifying the boundaries between securities and other digital assets,” he added. Physical gold’s familiarity reduces ambiguity, giving institutions clear legal title to specific vaulted bars, not issuer promises or derivatives.
According to Hemecker, this structure earns policymaker support as “controlled tokenization, where digital representations of existing assets are well-governed and clearly backed, rather than creating new, untested monetary substitutes.” Investors gain direct property rights over high-security Swiss vaults, outpacing tech-first rivals.
Transparency serves as a competitive advantage in this new era of digital commodities. Gold investors, who are traditionally obsessed with provenance, can utilize GTSA’s Bar Mapper tool. This technology allows a digital holder to trace their token back to specific gold bars certified by the London Bullion Market Association
Users can view non-sensitive metadata, including the refiner, weight, purity and serial number of the bars, providing a level of auditability that was previously impossible in the gold market. This creates a transparent link between digital ownership and physical existence, ensuring that every token is backed by real, verifiable gold.
Overcoming hurdles
The operational hurdles once plaguing tokenization are rapidly fading. “Several early frictions are already easing,” Hemecker said. “Operational and technical uncertainty is declining as standards around custody, issuance and lifecycle management mature. Institutional access is improving, and credibility gaps are narrowing.
This maturity drives a shift from experimental pilots to institutional balance-sheet allocations.
“What we’re seeing from institutions and central banks is not a move away from traditional safe-haven assets, but a desire to modernize the infrastructure around them,” he explained. Blockchain’s 24/7 availability, near-instant settlement and efficient reporting keep gold exposure while accelerating infrastructure.
“Tokenized gold allows institutions to maintain exposure to a familiar reserve asset, while benefiting from faster settlement … This is about putting trusted assets on modern rails.”
Liquidity follows suit. “Liquidity will increasingly be judged by depth and reliability, not headline volumes,” Hemecker noted. “Custody quality will move to the foreground, with institutions favoring allocated, insured gold held with reputable vaulting partners.” DGLD delivers this via Base and Aerodrome DEX’s nonstop trading.
Finally, redemption seals the trust: “Redemption down to 1 gram expands accessibility and utility for collateral, lending, repos and beyond. Redemption builds trust, but tokenization is where the real utility comes from.”
The regulatory landscape
The regulatory landscape continues to play a pivotal role in the adoption of tokenized gold.
While GTSA is a Swiss-regulated entity supervised by FINMA-level standards, its presence on the Base network demonstrates a strategic navigation of global demand.
“Regulatory trends are likely to support tokenized gold adoption by rewarding transparent, well-governed structures that fit within existing financial and commodity frameworks,” Hemecker said. “Products with clear custody, governance and legal ownership are simply easier for institutions to assess and approve.”
The GENIUS Act, passed in the US in 2025, clarifies stablecoin rules, prioritizing 1:1 reserves and audits, which favor insured custody like MKS PAMP’s. The proposed CLARITY Act would split Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) purview, classifying some assets as “digital commodities.”
This past January, the SEC and CFTC held a joint harmonization event to align on digital asset oversight, while the CLARITY Act awaits Senate action after House passage in 2025.
Looking ahead
Looking ahead, Hemecker believes the trend favors “consolidation rather than proliferation.’
Tokenization can improve traceability and data continuity, aiding secondary markets like recycled gold. It connects the value chain from mine to vault to wallet, but needs “standards, audits, operational integration and regulatory alignment” for real transparency, according to Hemecker.
For mining and finance, DGLD modernizes the Swiss gold standard.
“Our focus … is building the foundations … so (it’s) ready to scale responsibly,’ said Hemecker.

Uranium’s resurgence has been one of the resource sector’s most durable stories of the past five years, but as prices hover near multi-year highs, investors are increasingly asking the same question: How late is it?
At the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC), panelists Rick Rule, Lobo Tiggre and Standard Uranium (TSXV:STND,OTCQB:STTDF) CEO John Bey suggested the answer is more nuanced than simple price charts imply.
While uranium equities have already delivered substantial gains since 2020, the speakers argued that structural changes in the market, not speculative enthusiasm, continue to underpin the bull case.
“This doesn’t feel like a mania,” Bey said, pointing to projections from the World Nuclear Association (WNA), which estimates that global nuclear capacity must roughly triple by 2050 to meet decarbonization and electrification goals.
The US, meanwhile, has floated ambitions to quadruple domestic nuclear capacity, a narrative that has recentered uranium as a strategic fuel rather than a legacy commodity.
Despite those ambitions, supply has struggled to keep pace. Global uranium production remains below pre-Fukushima levels, while years of underinvestment have hollowed out the project pipeline.
According to the WNA, primary mine supply currently meets only about 75 percent of annual reactor demand, with the balance filled by inventories and secondary sources that are steadily being depleted.
For Tiggre, CEO of IndependentSpeculator.com, that imbalance remains the core driver, and it has yet to be resolved.
“The idea that high prices would quickly cure high prices just hasn’t played out,” he explained. “Projects haven’t come online on schedule, and some never got funded at all.”
Even at a spot price above US$80 per pound, major producers such as Cameco (TSX:CCO,NYSE:CCJ) and Kazatomprom have been cautious about committing capital to new large-scale developments.
Rule, proprietor at Rule Investment Media, sees that hesitation as telling. “If the incentive price were really US$80, they’d be building,” he said. “They’re not. That tells you the real incentive price is higher.”
A subtle but powerful market shift
Rule also argued that many investors are still missing the most important development in uranium — a quiet structural shift away from spot pricing toward long-term contracting.
While uranium equities continue to trade off a thinly traded spot market — which accounts for roughly a quarter of annual transaction volume in a good year — utilities are increasingly locking in multi-year supply agreements.
“Unlike almost any other commodity, uranium producers can pre-sell material under contracts that specify price and terms,” Rule said. “That changes everything.” Those contracts, he explained, can serve as collateral, lowering financing risk and enabling projects that would have been unbankable five years ago.
The impact is already visible. Utilities have been steadily re-entering the term market since 2022, with Cameco reporting an expanding contract book and higher realized prices year over year.
Meanwhile, physical uranium investment vehicles, particularly the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX:U.U,OTCQX:SRUUF), have removed tens of millions of pounds from circulation, tightening availability even further.
That tightening is occurring alongside geopolitical fragmentation.
Sanctions and self-imposed trade barriers have effectively split the uranium market, with Russian and some Central Asian material flowing east, while western utilities scramble to secure non-Russian supply.
As Bey put it, “That uranium isn’t coming back west.”
Supply, risk and the Athabasca advantage
The question, then, is where new uranium supply will come from. Canada’s Athabasca Basin, home to the world’s highest-grade uranium deposits, remains central to that answer.
Several advanced projects, including Denison Mines’ (TSX:DML,NYSEAMERICAN:DNN) Wheeler River operation and NexGen Energy’s (TSX:NXE,NYSE:NXE) Rook I asset, are both approaching key permitting milestones, potentially clearing the way for construction later this decade.
After decades without a new uranium mine approval in Canada, momentum appears to be shifting.
Bey said regulators are becoming more familiar with uranium-specific permitting, while First Nations partners are increasingly vocal in their support for project development.
Exploration also remains critical, though not without challenges. Bey noted a shrinking pipeline of trained uranium geologists, with graduating class sizes sharply lower than a decade ago. “Teams matter more than ever,” he said. “A good discovery today will get bought — and at a multiple that will surprise people.”
Rule was blunter. Of roughly 125 uranium juniors globally, he expects only 10 to 15 to generate meaningful returns.
“The rest go to their intrinsic value, which is zero,” he said.
Success, he added, comes down to people, geology and jurisdiction — in that order.
Jurisdictional risk itself sparked debate. Rule argued that political risk is often misunderstood, noting that supply disruptions in places like Niger tend to reroute material rather than remove it from the global market.
Tiggre, while broadly agreeing, said investors are justified in demanding a discount for higher-risk regions. “If I need a military escort, that’s not a positive check mark,” he said.
Volatility is the price of admission
Despite their bullish long-term outlooks, all three panelists emphasized that volatility is unavoidable.
Narrative-driven selloffs, whether tied to artificial intelligence (AI) hype, data center demand or broader risk-off sentiment, can whipsaw uranium equities even when fundamentals remain intact.
“That’s when opportunity shows up,” Tiggre said, pointing to sharp pullbacks in 2024 that preceded new highs later in the year. “Fundamentals and narratives aren’t the same thing.”
Rule offered a starker reminder. “If you aren’t willing to accept a small probability of catastrophic loss, don’t be here,” he said, referencing the ever-present tail risk of a major nuclear accident.
For investors willing to accept that risk, the panel’s message was clear: uranium’s bull run appears to be maturing, but is far from over. The easy money may be gone — but, as Rule put it, “the sure money may still lie ahead.”
AI, energy security and the case for uranium’s next leg higher
If the first half of the uranium bull market was driven by supply discipline and long-overdue utilities contracting, the next phase may be shaped by something far larger: electricity itself.
That was the gist of comments from Uranium Energy (NYSEAMERICAN:UEC) CEO Amir Adnani at VRIC.
He framed nuclear power, and by extension uranium, as a central pillar of the emerging AI economy, not merely a decarbonization tool. What stands out, Adnani argued, is not just the scale of demand that’s coming into view, but also the political and corporate alignment forming around it.
At this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, global leaders, including US President Donald Trump, publicly identified grid fragility and electricity shortages as national security risks in the AI era.
For Adnani, the shift in tone was telling. “When leaders stop talking only about inflation and start talking about power and electricity, that’s a sign of the times we’re in,” he said.
Crucially, nuclear energy has become one of the few areas of bipartisan consensus in the US.
While Democrats often emphasize decarbonization, Republicans increasingly frame nuclear as a strategic asset tied to energy independence and security. “This isn’t a four-year story,” Adnani emphasized to the audience. “We’re talking about multi-decade growth underpinned by bipartisan political support.”
The urgency, however, collides with reality.
AI-driven electricity demand is accelerating far faster than new generation can be built. Adnani cited a Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) estimate calling for roughly 150 gigawatts of additional power capacity globally over the next three years from data centers alone — equivalent to powering more than 150 cities the size of Philadelphia.
“One gigawatt is a city of 2 million people,” he said. “And we’re talking about adding more than 100 of those.”
That buildout could require as much as US$3 trillion in investment. Governments, Adnani noted, cannot shoulder that burden alone. Instead, balance sheets from tech giants such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) are increasingly being deployed to secure reliable, long-term power — a dynamic that favors baseload generation over intermittent sources.
“This isn’t just political signaling,” he said. “This is the private sector committing real capital, as fast as possible, to infrastructure that works 24/7.”
For uranium, the implications are direct. Global pledges now call for nuclear capacity to triple by 2050, while the US has set its sights on quadrupling domestic capacity. That ambition implies a parallel expansion in uranium supply, something the market is currently ill-equipped to deliver.
At the same time, the supply picture is already strained.
The US consumes roughly 50 million pounds of uranium annually, but produces less than 4 million pounds, leaving it more than 90 percent dependent on imports, much of them from geopolitically sensitive regions.
In Adnani’s view, reshoring critical mineral supply chains — uranium included — has become a strategic imperative.
“This bifurcated world is a total game changer,” he said. “The US wants control over its supply chains, and uranium is now squarely in that category.”
Room for growth intact
Adnani also pushed back against the idea that uranium prices have already peaked.
The spot price spiked above US$100 in late January and has since stabilized near US$96, a level that remains well below the 2007 high of US$140, even as the market is structurally tighter than it was nearly two decades ago.
Adjusted against gold’s performance since that peak, Adnani argued, uranium remains historically cheap.
“On a gold equivalent basis, uranium would be closer to US$1,000,” he said. “That’s the headroom.”
Positioning for that upside, he explained, requires scale, patience and balance sheet strength, qualities Uranium Energy has spent two decades assembling.
The company built its asset base during the downturn, acquiring more than US$1 billion in projects when uranium traded near US$20. Today, it operates as the largest US-focused uranium producer, with ambitions to become vertically integrated from mining through conversion — a capability that does not currently exist domestically.
Uranium Energy’s unhedged strategy underscores its conviction. “We don’t put ceilings on our upside,” Adnani said. “We want maximum exposure to what we believe will be an unprecedented bull market.”
Overall his message echoed that of others at VRIC: commodities — and energy in particular — are entering a new cycle.
“This is another industrial revolution,” he said. “And it’s an energy-hungry one. We’re still in the early innings.”

It’s been a wild week of ups and downs for precious metals prices.
Gold, silver and platinum have already recorded new all-time highs in 2026. But this week, the rally reversed course — only briefly, but in a big way, as is the case with such highly volatile markets.
Let’s take a look at what got the precious metals moving over the past week.
Gold price
After hitting a record high of close to US$5,600 per ounce, gold closed out January by embarking on one of the biggest price slides it’s seen in decades. By early morning trading on Monday (February 2), the yellow metal had dropped as low as US$4,400 for a significant loss of more than 21 percent.
However, gold regained much of that lost ground by Tuesday’s (February 3) close, trading back above US$4,935. By Wednesday (February 4) morning, gold was once again back above the key psychological US$5,000 mark, although it couldn’t maintain that level for long and slipped back down into the US$4,900 range.
Gold price chart, January 28, 2025, to February 4, 2026.
The primary drivers for gold this past week are:
Silver price
The silver price has tracked gold on these macro trends. The white metal fell from the all-time high of more than US$120 per ounce that it reached on January 29 to a low of about US$71 on Monday.
Silver price chart, January 28, 2025, to February 4, 2026.
Although silver lost 35 percent from its peak in such a short time, the precious metal has rebounded to an intraday high of US$92.32 as its fundamentals remain strong.
Platinum price
Platinum tracked its precious metal sisters down from a January 29 high of US$2,816 per ounce to as low as US$1,882. By Tuesday, the metal was back above US$2,200 and has traded mostly around that price mark for Wednesday.
Platinum price chart, January 28, 2025, to February 4, 2026.
Platinum is one of the top-performing metals over the past year, reaching 12 year highs in recent weeks. Demand is being driven by the metal’s essential role in the emerging hydrogen economy. Its also still seeing robust demand from the auto sector despite the emergence of electric vehicles and uneasy consumer confidence in the economy.
On the supply side, global platinum reserves remain critically low, especially as the world’s biggest producer, South Africa, continues to be plagued by power shortages and operational disruptions.
Palladium price
Palladium has been the black sheep of the precious metals family for the past few years, remaining well below its March 2022 all-time record of US$3,440.76 per ounce.
On January 29, palladium got in on the party and rallied to an intraday high of US$2,172.50.
Then on Monday it came along for the slide, falling as low as US$1,529. After a slight rebound on Tuesday, the precious metal has traded around US$1,700 to US$1,800.
Palladium price chart, January 28, 2025, to February 4, 2026.
The palladium price is being held down by a slump in demand for electric vehicles and a looming oversupply situation. Analysts at Heraeus and Metals Focus predict the palladium market may move into a surplus in 2026 as secondary supply from recycling increases by 10 percent.

For at least two decades, former Amazon executive Dave Clark ended his work week the same way: a standing Friday date night with his wife, Leigh Anne.
Over dinner, the Clarks would talk through the “peak and pit” of their weeks. The ritual often revolved around Amazon, where Clark played a central role in building the logistics infrastructure that helped launch the e-commerce era.
During those years, Leigh Anne was a sounding board for her husband. In the process, she had a front-row seat to Amazon’s growth from what she called “a baby to a behemoth.”
By the time Clark left Amazon in 2022, he was CEO of the Worldwide Consumer division and one of billionaire founder Jeff Bezos’ top lieutenants.
But these days, Fridays for the Clarks look very different.
Their dinner date has morphed into afternoon cocktails — a bourbon with Diet Coke for her and a Manhattan for him. And the conversation isn’t focused on Amazon anymore. It’s about Auger, the supply-chain startup they run together.
In their first joint interview from Auger’s Seattle office, the Clarks described how their marriage and complementary skill sets are shaping the company.
“We’ve been together for so long that we kind of just read each other’s minds,” Leigh Anne said. Working together, she said, “felt like a natural fit.”
