Gold slipped to $4,580. Silver dropped under $69. Both are pulling back the same morning Kevin Warsh gives his first Jackson Hole speech as Fed Chair. Does Warsh defend Fed independence, which lifts yields and pressures metals, or does he leave room for Bessent's bond buybacks to keep driving the trade.

JUST IN: July PCE inflation prints 3.7% YoY, hotter than the 3.6% forecast. Gold pulls back to $4,615 from a three month high of $4,697. Silver holds $68.62, still up 17% this month. https://t.co/PCq83LIDCM

The stronger ETH performs, the more expensive it becomes to leave it idle.
Holding preserves your exposure.
Making it productive adds to the amount of $ETH you own.
At 1.90% native ETH yield, 10 ETH becomes 10.19 ETH over one year. If $ETH reaches $6,000, that additional 0.19 ETH represents $1,140 in extra value, on top of the same market upside.
Plus 0.80% in STRATO reward points.

A new economy needs new benchmarks.
As gold moves onchain and Ethereum becomes financial infrastructure, measuring everything against the dollar starts to tell only part of the story.
Gold represents centuries of monetary scarcity.
$ETH represents the scarce, productive asset securing Ethereum.
STRATO is bringing these two economies onto the same financial rails.
Today: 1 $ETH = 0.523 oz of gold.
Welcome to the onchain hard asset economy.

JUST IN: The U.S. Treasury sanctioned more of Iran’s gold trade, digital assets, tech, aviation, and shipping as the war nears 6 months.
Gold hit a 3-month high this same week. When governments start sanctioning gold itself, that’s the hard asset thesis playing out in real time.

Holding ETH and earning from $ETH are no longer two separate strategies.
Price appreciation remains the core exposure.
But when the same position can also generate onchain income, leaving it completely idle comes with an opportunity cost.
The STRATO ETH Yield Vault adds an income layer without requiring holders to sell their $ETH exposure:
→ Up to 2.70% APY
→ STRATO Reward Points
→ Non-custodial and fully onchain
Same asset. More productive position.

Gold sitting in a vault used to just sit there.
Now it earns.
New yield vaults for $GOLDST and $SILVST mean your metal holdings generate yield while staying fully backed 1:1 by physical gold and silver in New York. The $ETH vault has been upgraded alongside them.
That's part of a wider set of changes shipped over the past few weeks:
— Bridge once. Deposits can now execute a follow-on action in the same flow. Auto-Save routes bridged funds straight into the $USDST savings vault and they start earning on arrival. Auto-Forge converts the deposit into gold or silver the moment it lands. No second transaction.
— Concentrated liquidity. New pools with far better capital efficiency for LPs. Positions are NFTs now, visible in your portfolio and activity feed with live value and accrued fees. Every position shows your own APY, not a pool average.
— Instant $USDST redemption. Single step, no delay. Direct minting into the savings vault is supported too.
— A rebuilt Explore tab. Live market data, recent activity and market cap for every token on STRATO, with one-click buying built in.

Holding stable assets protects you from market volatility.
But leaving them idle creates a different cost: lost yield and declining purchasing power.
In every financial system, liquidity has economic value. Capital becomes productive when it can be deployed, and the provider of that capital earns a return.
The USDSTSavingsVault brings that principle onchain.
Deposit $USDST to:
→ Earn yield directly in $USDST
→ Accumulate STRATO Reward Points
→ Maintain dollar-denominated exposure
→ Put capital to work without trading or taking risks
Your $USDST can sit in your wallet, or participate in the STRATO economy:

Sunday recap👇
A constructive week across the markets we care about.
$ETH strengthened materially through the week, while gold and silver both moved higher. Different assets, different drivers, but an interesting combination.
The macro backdrop remains supportive for scarce assets.
Markets continue to weigh the path of rates, the dollar, sovereign debt and geopolitical risk. At the same time, capital continues moving further onchain and the infrastructure around tokenized assets keeps maturing.
For us, that intersection is the important part.
Ethereum provides increasingly deep financial rails. Gold and silver provide assets with established monetary demand outside of crypto. Stablecoins provide the settlement layer between the two.
STRATO is being built where those markets meet.
And we added another market to that stack this week.
STRATO Odds went live on mainnet.
Precious-metals expectations can now be priced directly by market participants, with positions settled onchain in $USDST.
Take positions in oir current markets: gold, silver, ETH, BTC.
That means the STRATO economy now isn’t only about owning tokenized hard assets.
It’s increasingly about what you can do with them: save, borrow, provide liquidity, earn yield, and now price future outcomes.
Conclusion:
A good week for ETH, a good week for hard assets in general.

$30T in gold. A fraction onchain. Do the math.

Precious metals don’t have an adoption problem.
They have an infrastructure problem.
Gold is already held by central banks, institutions, funds, corporations and hundreds of millions of individuals globally.
The opportunity is not convincing the world that gold has value.
It’s giving that value modern financial rails:
24/7 settlement.
Global accessibility.
Verifiable ownership.
Programmable collateral.
Capital-efficient markets.
Onchain liquidity.
Tokenization turns precious metals from assets that are primarily held into assets that can move, settle and interact with financial markets natively.
The next generation of gold infrastructure will be measured by more than assets tokenized.
It will be measured by what those assets can actually do.
STRATO is building the benchmark for that economy.

Have you tried STRATO's new v3 pools yet?
v3 pools let you concentrate capital where the asset trades. This is far more efficient than v2 pools. Less liquidity can now do more for you. Link below: https://t.co/1p6nusceev

Earn up to 8.60% APY in the USDSTSavingsVault, and collect STRATO reward points on top.

Hi , here's a recap of what's been happening over the past couple weeks.
1. XAUT (Tether Gold) is now live on STRATO
Holding $XAUT? Put it to work. Swap XAUT for GOLDST on Uniswap, bridge it into STRATO, and borrow stables against it — then deposit into the USDST savings vault to stack yield on top.
2. New BOOE/USDST pool, in partnership with The Book of Ethereum
BOOE holders can now provide liquidity, swap, and earn fees instead of just holding. This is our first community-token pool and it's live now.
3. v3 concentrated liquidity pools are live
Liquidity can now be concentrated right around the price USDST and GOLDST actually trade at, instead of spread across every possible price like v2. Better capital efficiency, better rates for LPs.
4. Community AMA: All About Liquidity Pools
We went live to walk through how the new v3 pools work and answer questions. Catch the replay here: https://x.com/strato_net/status/2085368399094288566

Markets move before certainty arrives.
A headline breaks. Yields shift. Currencies react. Gold moves. Silver responds.
STRATO Odds is building a prediction market focused on metals—and the forces that move them.
The vision goes beyond choosing YES or NO. We turn different expectations into live, transparent probabilities, creating a real-time measure of market conviction for traders, analysts, and anyone following hard assets.
Instead of covering every possible topic, STRATO Odds is built specifically around gold, silver, and the macroeconomic and geopolitical events shaping their future.
Trade what happens next. Watch the odds evolve as new information hits the market. At the deadline, STRATO’s on-chain oracle determines the result.
The prediction market for metals is taking shape, and the first testnet version is live.

Blockchain tech makes it easier to move money. We see it working already with fiat.
But the hardest money to move is gold, even though it's the best money out there.
As it comes on-chain, watch out. We are still so early. https://t.co/pfZecudfzg
