In February 2026, narratives around tokenized gold and Real-World Assets (RWAs) continued to gain traction. Amid macro uncertainty, gold’s role as a store of value and safe-haven asset once again drew market attention.
Physical gold remains stable but comes with barriers such as custody costs and limited liquidity. To address this, imToken partnered with Tether to launch the Gold Grand Giveaway Campaign. Through imToken Web, users can explore a smoother and more secure way to access tokenized gold in Web3.
This month also brings deeper discussions on Ethereum’s technical roadmap, AI agents, and security, helping users better understand evolving infrastructure and asset-security trends.
