#马年开工第一帖 🚀To say Gate TradFi's dark horse, XAU must be at the forefront. Compared to other assets, XAU has unique advantages, mainly reflected in the following points:

1. Strong inflation hedge Gold is known as a "hard currency" and has historically been a store of value to counter currency devaluation and inflation. Simply put, when prices rise, gold tends to rise as well, and in the long run, assets do not depreciate.🚀
2. Outstanding safe-haven properties Whenever financial markets are turbulent or geopolitical risks increase, funds tend to "hide" in gold. Therefore, gold is often called a "safe haven," providing a certain sense of security during crises.🚀
3. Good global liquidity Gold is recognized worldwide and is very easy to liquidate, with high liquidity. No matter where you are on Earth, there will always be someone willing to buy gold.
4. Low investment threshold and multiple channels Now, you can invest in gold through physical assets (gold bars, coins) or financial products (paper gold, gold ETFs, gold contracts), meeting the needs of different investors.
5. Asset allocation balancer Adding gold to an investment portfolio can sometimes effectively diversify risk and reduce overall volatility, making it a standard choice for many financial managers.
Of course, all investments carry risks. Properly manage your positions and avoid "all in."
