New Year, New Atmosphere. The cryptocurrency market hotspots of 2026 are emerging one after another, but recently I have set my sights on a track that combines "traditional heritage" and "on-chain frontier"—tokenized precious metals.

With the macroeconomic environment being uncertain, gold and silver once again demonstrate their core value as safe-haven assets. But how to "enter early" rather than buy at the high? How to enjoy the convenience of blockchain while having the confidence backed by physical assets? Today, through Gate Alpha's Metal Zone, I want to share my practical experience and operation tutorial, hoping to inspire everyone.

Why choose Gate Alpha to trade gold/silver?

Before getting involved with Gate Alpha, traditional precious metal investments either involved cumbersome physical delivery or had time delays and trading restrictions through ETFs. But all of this has been completely changed in Gate Alpha's xStocks zone.

It supports mainstream tokenized gold such as XAUT (Tether Gold), PAXG (Pax Gold), and XAUM, and even has silver benchmarks. This means that my account holds digital assets supported 1:1 by gold bars certified by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), which are both secure and flexible.
