Commodity exposure refers to the degree to which an investment portfolio or digital asset’s value is influenced by price fluctuations in raw materials. This can involve direct holdings of physical goods or derivatives that track their value. In digital asset markets, it often relates to tokens backed by physical commodities or projects whose success correlates with commodity prices. Understanding this connection is vital for assessing risk and return in a diversified portfolio.

Regulatory bodies are examining how these digital representations interact with traditional commodity markets. Future developments will likely involve more sophisticated tokenization methods and clearer guidelines for commodity-linked digital assets.
