XAUt and PAXG slide 6% amid gold’s tumble

Tokenized gold tokens XAUt and PAXG prices fell more than 6% each over the past 24 hours as the price of gold slumped to its biggest intraday dip.

Summary
  • Tether Gold and PAX Gold fell 6% each as tokenized gold tokens slumped alongside Gold.
  • Spot gold fell to $4,122 an ounce, with the precious metal falling to its biggest intraday drop since 2013.
  • Bitcoin saw slight gains amid the gold slump, rising to above $112,000.

As Bitcoin price edged up to above $112,000 amid a slight uptick for cryptocurrencies, the top two tokenized gold tokens by market cap bucked the trend. Tether Gold (XAUt) and PAX Gold (PAXG) both slipped by more than 6% to change hands around $4,120 at the time of writing.

Why are XAUt and PAXG down today?

Crypto market’s broader uptick came as stocks surged amid a flurry of positive earnings reports on Wall Street. The upside across equities cascaded into cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, gold suffered its biggest single-day drop in more than 10 years. 

The tanking also saw gold record its steepest intraday fall since 2013.

As gold dropped 6% to under $4,120 an ounce, tokens backed by holdings of the precious metal dumped. 

XAUt and PAXG prices mirrored the declines in the top safe haven asset, with an upbeat sentiment for risk-on assets seeing analysts forecast a potential capital rotation from gold to Bitcoin (BTC).

But while Bitcoin holders eye more gains, economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff has other ideas. He agrees the decline is “quite a shakeout,” but says it only offers another chance for BTC holders to dump the digital asset and “buy the real thing.”

Tether Gold and PAX Gold prices hit highs of $4,391 and $4,430 respectively on October 17, 2024, gains that aligned with gold’s parabolic surge. However, as the rally that catapulted gold to a new all-time hits a halt, the Tether and Paxos issued tokens are also paring gains.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
