On-Chain Metrics for Tokenized Gold, Silver, and Platinum
Summary
This dashboard description covers tokenized gold, silver, and platinum on Ethereum, alongside stablecoins. It outlines how to track token issuance, circulating supply, market capitalization, transfers, distinct senders and receivers, velocity, and holders. The listed commodity tokens include PAXG, DGX, VNXAU, TXAG, TXAU, and TXPT. The stated data series begin in 2018, though the text does not provide observations or results from those series.
Issuance is defined as daily mints minus burns, while circulating supply is the cumulative issuance. Market capitalization multiplies supply by token price, using centralized spot closes where available and decentralized exchange prices converted from WETH otherwise. Transfers may include mint and burn activity; holders are addresses with a positive balance. Traders and researchers might use supply changes as clues about liquidity, sentiment, adoption, or risk appetite, but these are interpretations rather than validated trading signals. The description gives no signal thresholds, strategy tests, or account of data quality limitations.
Key ideas
- Daily issuance tracks token mints and burns, and circulating supply accumulates issuance.
- Market capitalization combines circulating supply with a price from centralized or decentralized markets.
- Transfer counts and values can include token mints and burns.
- The dashboard also describes sender, receiver, velocity, and positive-balance holder metrics.
- Supply changes may inform market interpretation, but the document does not validate them as trading signals.
