Bitrue Forecasts 114% RWA Surge as Metals.io Enables Fee-Free Tokenized Gold Access

Bitrue Research Institute projects a 114% rise in RWA trading volume by end-Q2 2026, driven by retail demand for tokenized gold and yield assets, while Metals.io launches a web app offering 24/7 fractional access to gold and uranium with no minimums or fees. This builds on Bitget's Q1 report of 6,000 users, where gold trading soared to 40% of platform volume from near-zero, crypto's share dropped to 60-80%, and 35% hold metals amid 51% AI adoption. XAUT and PAXG dominated tokenized commodities growth at 89.1%, with combined caps near $3.67 billion at ~$4,684 parity, signaling a retail diversification boom into RWAs.
