In the world of digital assets, "tokenized real-world assets" (RWA) have become one of the most prominent investment and technology trends in recent years. As a leading representative of the "digital gold" category, XAUT combines humanity’s traditional store of value, gold, with modern blockchain infrastructure. At its core, XAUT uses the divisibility, transparency, and global transferability of blockchain technology to map physical gold onto open digital tokens, making gold ownership more accessible to a broader base of investors and the DeFi ecosystem.

As the crypto market matures, tokens backed by real world assets have moved into the spotlight. XAUT, short for Tether Gold, is a gold backed blockchain asset issued by an entity under Tether. Each token is backed by physical gold, giving digital asset holders direct exposure to the "value of gold" itself.

This article analyzes how non-monetary data, such as Ordinals, has exploited vulnerabilities in Bitcoin Core to persistently congest the blockchain, undermining node accessibility and decentralization.

In response to the "AI-induced global economic collapse by 2028" hypothesis put forward by Citrini Research, David Mattin offers a radically different interpretive framework: AI is not only destroying the income side but is dismantling the cost side even faster. As intelligence and energy become abundantly available, traditional metrics such as GDP and unemployment rates are losing their relevance. This article introduces "intellectual output per unit of energy" as a new yardstick for rethinking deflationary prosperity and the post-human economic transformation in the age of AI.
