This represents substantial growth from around 126,000 wallets a year ago, marking a 3.6-fold increase. Most of this expansion occurred in the last several weeks, highlighting accelerating interest in tokenized assets.</p>
<h2 id="holder-count-surges-in-recent-months">Holder count surges in recent months</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">From early August to now, approximately 200,000 new wallets joined the tokenized commodities sector. By contrast, only about 126,000 wallets were added in the preceding ten months. ParaFi, a digital asset investment firm, estimated that holders of PAXG and XAUT grew by 65% throughout 2025, while the broader sector expanded by 79% in just the past nine weeks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Instrument holders are tracked by wallet addresses rather than individual identities, so one user may control multiple wallets. Despite this, the rapid growth remains evident in the sector’s overall trajectory.</p>

<h2 id="oil-silver-and-copper-see-rising-interest">Oil, silver, and copper see rising interest</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">While gold-backed tokens still account for about 90% of wallet holders in the sector, tokens tracking oil, silver, copper, and rare earths have attracted a combined 42,000 holders since summer.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Looking at wallet numbers, Ethereum accounts for about 41% of all holders with 183,776 wallets. BNB Chain supports 94,289 holders, Plume and Solana each have just over 62,000, and Robinhood counts 40,713 wallets. Ethereum wallets tend to hold larger, long-term positions, while BNB Chain, Solana, and Robinhood wallets typically house smaller, retail-focused holdings. Arbitrum is an exception among the smaller networks, maintaining a high market cap with relatively few holders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Long-standing, substantial gold holdings remain concentrated on Ethereum. Meanwhile, new users are increasingly adopting cheaper blockchains and brokerage-style tokens with smaller balances, resulting in wallet growth outpacing the movement of significant capital off Ethereum.</p>

 <p>In recent weeks, growth in tokenized ETFs and stocks pushed their share of overall wallet holders from 8% to 23% sector-wide. Gold-backed tokens still dominate, but products tracking oil, silver, and copper are rapidly gaining adoption.</p>
