There are signs that demand for tokenized copper may surge in 2026.

According to a report by Bijie Network: As gold and silver prices continue to reach new highs, capital is flowing into smaller-cap metals markets such as copper, and blockchain technology is expected to connect these assets with cryptocurrencies through tokenization. Toto Finance predicts a structural gap in copper supply and demand, with global copper demand expected to reach approximately 42 million tons by 2040, while supply will peak around 2030 and then decline sharply. Driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure and power grids, copper scarcity is intensifying, and prices may rise 2 to 5 times within the next 14 months. Early signals from the cryptocurrency market, such as the growth of Ondo's COPXON ETF token and Remora Markets' CPERr token, indicate increasing investor interest in tokenized copper and related physical assets, and this trend is expected to accelerate by 2026.
