Opinion: DeFi could unlock the earnings potential of real-world assets such as gold

RAAC founder Kevin Rusher said that although gold has long been regarded as a safe-haven asset, its traditional investment methods lack profitability. Through the DeFi protocol, real-world assets (RWA) such as gold can be tokenized and participate in lending, pledging and other income strategies to improve their capital efficiency. For example, gold miners can issue tokens tied to their reserves, which can be converted into stablecoins and participate in the income activities of the DeFi ecosystem. Kevin Rusher believes that blockchain technology also empowers gold investors with 24/7 trading, real-time price discovery and fast settlement, enhancing the liquidity and flexibility of assets. DeFi is expected to combine the stability of gold with the profitability of digital finance, and build a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
