In the premiere episode of Real Yield Vision, Matrixdock joins Kinza Finance to unpack the transformative potential of tokenized gold. From shifting macroeconomic landscapes to cutting-edge on-chain trading strategies with XAUm, this conversation highlights how DeFi is broadening access to unified investment-grade gold and unlocking new dimensions of capital efficiency.
The Conversation
Hosted by Iain Belcher, Director of Communication and Business Development at Kinza Finance, and joined by Cici Lu, Head of Research at Matrixdock, the inaugural episode of Real Yield Vision explores how tokenization breathes new life into gold by kicking off with a focus on real gold yield strategies.
Strategies for DeFi Users with XAUm + Kinza
The conversation didn’t stop at gold’s macro appeal. Cici and Iain explored how DeFi users can actively integrate XAUm into their strategies using Kinza’s platform, including:
Kinza Loop Functionality: A powerful tool allowing users to leverage their XAUm positions by using XAUm as collateral to borrow stablecoins, which can then be used to acquire more XAUm. This loop functionality provides a capital-efficient way to build physical gold exposure.
Tactical Positioning: For traders who see opportunities in gold-Bitcoin dynamics, Cici discussed how users can lend BTC to borrow XAUm, opening relative value plays beyond directional gold moves.
DeFi Meets TradFi: XAUm’s ability to bridge the best of both worlds—combining real-world gold ownership with the programmability and efficiency of DeFi protocols.
Macro Themes and the Future of Gold
As gold prices surged to $3,500 and Bitcoin also climbed, the episode contextualized these trends within a backdrop of geopolitical tensions, fiat instability, and rising demand for hard assets. Cici highlighted how Matrixdock’s design—complete with on-chain transparency, LBMA gold backing, and physical redemption options—offers both tangibility and accessibility for Web3 and TradFi investors alike.
