隨著市場(chǎng)波動(dòng)的加劇,面對(duì)迫在眉睫的滯脹風(fēng)險(xiǎn),與黃金掛鉤的加密貨幣成為日益受到交易者歡迎的替代選擇。
CoinDesk引用跟蹤加密貨幣的研究機(jī)構(gòu)Arcane Research發(fā)布的報(bào)告稱,本周,兩大與黃金掛鉤的加密貨幣PAX Gold和Tether Gold的市場(chǎng)價(jià)值超過(guò)10億美元,較去年同期上漲了60%。3月8日,這兩種加密貨幣的價(jià)格均創(chuàng)下歷史新高,在股市反彈后有所回落。
3月8日,PAX Gold的價(jià)格達(dá)到2071美元,為過(guò)去三個(gè)月的最高點(diǎn)。Tether Gold的價(jià)格漲至一年中最高的2076美元。
3月9日,標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾500(S&P 500)、道指(Dow)和納斯達(dá)克(Nasdaq)等股票指數(shù)上漲,而與黃金掛鉤的加密貨幣價(jià)格下跌。PAX下跌2%,跌至1993美元,Tether Gold下跌約3%至1992美元,與實(shí)物黃金的價(jià)格走勢(shì)相同。
自今年1月1日以來(lái),這兩種加密貨幣的價(jià)格上漲了超過(guò)8%。
PAX Gold和Tether Gold等與黃金掛鉤的加密貨幣作為一種數(shù)字代幣,其所有權(quán)均記錄在區(qū)塊鏈中,與以太幣(Ether)和比特幣(Bitcoin)等熱門加密貨幣類似。每一枚PAX和Tether代幣代表1金衡制盎司黃金。由于這些代幣與實(shí)物資產(chǎn)掛鉤,因此不太容易像其他加密貨幣一樣,出現(xiàn)巨大的價(jià)格波動(dòng)。
通過(guò)與黃金掛鉤的加密貨幣購(gòu)買黃金,被宣傳成是一種容易變現(xiàn)的投資方式,可以投資與金價(jià)掛鉤的資產(chǎn),但不需要向經(jīng)銷商購(gòu)買實(shí)物金條。這更像是購(gòu)買與金價(jià)掛鉤的交易所交易基金(ETF),只是兩者的不同之處在于,投資者購(gòu)買與黃金掛鉤的代幣不僅能夠變現(xiàn),還可以贖回實(shí)物黃金。

Cryptocurrencies backed by gold are an increasingly popular alternative for traders seeking to escape increasing market instability and the looming threat of stagflation.
The two top gold-backed cryptocurrencies, PAX Gold and Tether Gold, together surpassed $1 billion in market capitalization this week—a 60% increase from the same period last year, CoinDesk reported, citing a report from Arcane Research, which tracks cryptocurrencies. Both cryptocurrencies reached highs on March 8 before retreating after stocks rebounded.
On March 8, PAX Gold reached $2,071, its highest price in the last three months. Tether Gold jumped to $2,076, its highest point in a year.
On March 9 stock indexes including the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq gained, as gold-backed crypto tokens fell in price. PAX tumbled 2% to $1,993 while Tether Gold fell about 3% to $1,992, both in line with the price of physical gold.
Since Jan. 1 both tokens are up more than 8%.
Gold-backed cryptocurrencies like PAX Gold and Tether Gold are digital tokens whose ownership is recorded on the blockchain, similar to popular crypto tokens like Ether and Bitcoin. Each PAX and Tether token represents one troy fine ounce of gold. Because the tokens are tied to a physical asset, they are supposedly less prone to large price fluctuations that can affect other cryptocurrencies.
Buying gold through gold-backed cryptocurrencies is publicized as a liquid way to invest in an asset that tracks gold prices without having to buy a physical gold bar from a dealer. It’s more like buying an exchange-traded fund, or ETF, that replicates the price of gold, except with gold-backed tokens, investors can redeem them for physical gold rather than just cash, as is the case with ETFs.
When Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, the price of both PAX and Tether jumped, according to CoinMarketCap. PAX increased 7% to $2,043 in the first 12 hours of the war while Tether jumped 3% to $1,978.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has destabilized markets, sending the prices of commodities like oil skyrocketing. As stock prices whipsaw, some traders have increased their holdings of alternative assets like gold to hedge their bets. Some have worried that the U.S. may once again be headed for stagflation, an economic phenomenon defined by increased inflation and stagnant economic growth.
The last time the U.S. experienced stagflation was in the 1970s.
