Market stats
Frequently asked questions
What is Tether Gold?
Tether Gold (XAUT) is a stablecoin backed by physical gold. Each XAUT token represents one troy ounce of pure gold, securely stored in Swiss vaults. By backing the token with real gold, Tether Gold aims to provide price stability that is not solely dependent on market speculation, and is part of Tether’s expansion into the space of commodity-backed crypto assets. Tether, known for its fiat-backed stablecoin USDT, created the XAUT digital token to provide investors with a way to own gold without having to physically handle it. Instead of buying, transporting, and storing gold, users can easily hold or trade XAUT tokens via the blockchain.
How Tether Gold works
Tether issues an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network, with each token representing the equivalent of 1 troy ounce of physical gold stored in secure vaults in Switzerland. Each issued token is linked to a specific gold bar that meets the London Good Delivery standard, ensuring the physical asset’s actual existence and supporting its reliability. The Tether Gold network uses algorithms to efficiently manage the distribution of ownership of gold bars during buy and sell transactions, while minimizing the need to store any additional data. This model allows investors to easily purchase, transfer, and own quantities of gold through blockchain technology, and provides the option to redeem tokens for their equivalent in physical gold according to approved terms, making it one of the ways blockchain is applied to tokenize physical assets and convert them into digital assets.
