Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone noted in a report that gold prices have pulled back to a support level around $4,000 per ounce, while silver is nearing $50 per ounce. However, their performance relative to U.S. Treasuries may have hit an extreme not seen in roughly 40 years, and the trend of precious metals versus U.S. Treasuries may have peaked. McGlone explained that interest rate hikes by most central banks, as well as the correction and volatility in the U.S. stock market, could drive a shift in the relative performance of precious metals to U.S. Treasuries. By contrast, U.S. Treasuries and Treasury bills with yields near 5% may regain appeal.

According to official announcements, Bitget, its tokenized US stock protocol Reality, and NASDAQ-listed gold reserve company Aurelion (NASDAQ: AURE) have announced a strategic partnership, with plans to launch the tokenized stock rAURE, where Bitget will act as the primary trading platform for the asset post-launch. rAURE will be issued by Reality and is pegged 1:1 to the underlying US stock asset AURE held in custody. Aurelion is a public company whose main reserve asset is tokenized gold XAU? (Tether Gold). This collaboration will introduce tokenized assets of the NASDAQ-listed gold reserve company into the Web3 trading market, driving the integration of listed company stocks, asset tokenization, and the gold sector. After rAURE’s launch, users will be able to trade it on Bitget 24/5, and combine it with other tokenized stocks and digital assets to expand cross-asset trading scenarios, enhancing asset allocation flexibility and capital utilization efficiency.

Blast reached the deadline for its regular withdrawal interface today, yet approximately $40.41 million in assets remain in its official cross-chain bridge on Ethereum mainnet. The amount is down roughly 36% from around $63.5 million recorded on October 2. On October 2, Blast announced the phased shutdown of its Layer 2 network, citing operating costs exceeding revenue and a lack of a credible path to economic sustainability. The project previously noted that users could still withdraw assets after October 26, but would need to interact directly with the bridge contract on Ethereum instead of relying on the regular website interface. At press time, Blast’s official website still displayed the withdrawal entry and a notice of the network’s phased shutdown. The platform has released contract-level withdrawal guides for ETH, USDB, and BLAST. The withdrawal process involves initiating a withdrawal on the Blast network, waiting for the transaction’s state record to be submitted to Ethereum, submitting a withdrawal proof via the OptimismPortal contract, completing a one-day challenge period, and executing the final confirmation transaction.

Ripple announced that Aviva Investors, the asset management arm of UK insurance group Aviva, has launched a tokenized share class of the Aviva Investors Sterling (GBP) Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. This fund is Aviva Investors’ largest, with around ￡22 billion in assets under management (AUM). The launch marks the second existing fund to be tokenized by the firm, following the rollout of tokenized shares for its U.S. dollar liquidity fund in July 2026. To date, total investment in the two tokenized share classes exceeds $116 million (￡86 million), with Aviva itself having invested $66 million (￡50 million) in the new share class. The fund is an Irish-registered UCITS money market fund that adopts a "digital twin" model: it maintains an off-chain fund structure while mapping its holdings onto the blockchain. Its underlying assets are custodied by BNY Mellon, with support from digital asset custodian Komainu and tokenization platform Licuido, and is open to qualified investors holding digital wallets.
