Digital asset banking platform SEBA is offering a stablecoin that serves as a token for digital ownership of gold.
- The token will be backed by physical gold, “ready for anytime, on-demand delivery,” SEBA announced Wednesday.
- The Zug, Switzerland-based firm said the token differs from other gold derivative investment products, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or over-the-counter (OTC) contracts, because investors can redeem the physical metal at any time.
- The token can also be used as a compliant stablecoin in trading or act as a store of value, SEBA said.
- Stablecoins and other digital assets backed by physical redeemable gold are not new, however, with New York-based exchange Paxos introducing one in September 2019. According to CoinGecko, has a daily trading volume of just under $11.7 million.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
