Commodities trading, evolved
summary
VNX issues one-token-per-gram gold backed by LBMA 1 kg bars held in Liechtenstein and Zurich and mints tokens only on customer request, proving a custody-to-token flow that actually works. Tokenized markets are building metals.io liquidity pools, lending/borrowing and perpetuals that create on-chain price discovery and arbitrage. Uranium and carbon projects show the SPV-to-token model gets traction but adoption takes years; the surprising bottleneck is institutional onboarding, not technology, and market makers determine real fit.
