US EditionGold's New Paradigm: ETF and Crypto-Backed Token Buying Surge as Central Bank Demand Cools
- The gold market shifted in early 2025 as central bank buying slowed while ETF and gold-backed cryptocurrency demand rose sharply.
- This change followed a decline in central bank purchases to 244 tonnes, offset by growing interest in digital tokens and ETFs.
- Gold-Backed cryptocurrencies reached a three-year high with over $80 million minted last month, and the sector's market cap rose 6% to $1.43 billion.
- The World Gold Council reported total gold demand at 1,206 tonnes in Q1, a 1% increase year-over-year, while gold's average quarterly price hit a record $2,860 per ounce.
- These trends suggest investors increasingly prefer accessible, flexible gold investments, highlighting evolving demand away from traditional buyers toward digital and ETF products.
