# Tokenized Commodities
The tokenized commodities market has grown steadily, now reaching a market capitalization of [$1.27B](https://app.rwa.xyz/commodities) as of April 2025. The vertical boasts over 8,200 monthly active addresses and 65,970 unique holders.
The dominant assets are tokenized precious metals—particularly gold—represented by tokens such as [PAXG](https://www.coinbase.com/price/pax-gold) ($412.7M) and [XAUT](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether-gold) ($393.4M). Additionally, initiatives to tokenize uranium ([U308](https://u3o8.co/)), wine ([dVIN](https://www.clubdvin.com/howitworks)), and spirits ([Cask](https://www.caskcapital.io/)) have all seen measured levels of success in this early stage of commodity tokenization.
The tokenized commodity vertical is currently dominated by [Paxos Gold](https://www.paxos.com/pax-gold) and [Tether Gold](https://gold.tether.to/), with over 95% combined market share. Ethereum remains the primary issuance network, hosting over $1.3B in commodity value.
#### Supply Chain and Custody Verification
While tokenized energy resources and agricultural products remain primarily underdeveloped, pioneers like [Agridex](https://agridex.com/) are working in this field. However, in 2025, the groundwork for on-chain natural resource markets will be actively laid. Oracle infrastructure will be critical in verifying energy delivery, metering data, and provenance for commodities like oil, natural gas, and grain shipments.
A defining challenge for commodity tokenization is supply chain and custody verification. Tokens representing physical goods must correspond to real-world assets stored in specific vaults, warehouses, or logistics hubs – wherever they find themselves within their supply chain. Oracles enable tamper-proof asset movement tracking, custody chain, and audit records.
Quality and quantity attestation—including purity for metals or grade for grains—must be relayed on-chain from trusted verification agents, ensuring each token maintains equivalence with its underlying commodity.
#### Oracle Data Requirements for Commodity Markets
Robust oracle systems must deliver three categories of data to support commodity markets:
1. Price feeds sourced from spot exchanges and OTC data providers
2. Physical delivery verification, confirming shipment receipts, vaulting updates, or custodial transfers
3. Storage validation, including location, capacity, and insurance status of the asset.
In collaboration with RWA World, programmable oracles like SEDA can ingest data from logistics APIs, vault audits, and IoT sensors, supporting tokens to continuously correlate with the physical commodity.
#### Future Innovation Opportunities
Future innovation opportunities include tokenizing energy certificates (e.g., crude barrels or LNG units), integrating carbon intensity metadata, and oracle-supported derivatives like tokenized commodity forwards.
Decentralized commodity markets (built on oracle-verified physical assets) can reshape global trade by compressing settlement time, eliminating intermediaries, and enabling fractional access to previously inaccessible markets.
#### RWA Data Feeds Solution
RWADataFeeds.com provides share pricing data for over 100 of commodities and metals, both spot and futures price. The data is sourced, and aggregated from over 5 off-chain public equity pricing data providers.
Share pricing data is updated in the intervals between 1 min and 15 mins, depending on the asset itself.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://rwadatafeeds.gitbook.io/feeds/rwa-price-feed-categories/tokenized-commodities.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
