🏆 Tether Gold ($XAUT) Hits $2.7 Billion Tokenized Supply — Digital Gold Demand Surges
Tether Gold ($XAUT), the tokenized gold asset issued by Tether, has surpassed $2.7 billion in supply on Ethereum, according to data from Token Terminal — marking a massive milestone for one of the world’s leading Real-World Asset (RWA) tokens.
💰 What is Tether Gold ($XAUT)?
Each 1 XAUT = 1 fine troy ounce of physical gold securely stored in Swiss vaults. Holders own actual allocated gold, not a synthetic representation — and can verify their holdings directly through Tether’s custody records.
By tokenizing physical gold, Tether enables investors to trade, transfer, and hold gold 24/7 on-chain — without storage fees, intermediaries, or the friction of traditional finance.
⚙️ Why This Milestone Matters
RWA Boom in DeFi: Growing demand for tokenized, tangible assets like gold is reshaping DeFi, offering stability in volatile markets.
Ethereum’s Dominance: Most of the $2.7B supply lives on Ethereum — confirming it remains the top hub for institutional-grade tokenization.
Tether’s Expansion: Beyond USDT, Tether is showing strength in the tokenized commodities market, expanding into a broader digital asset ecosystem.
Digital Gold Standard: XAUT represents a modern bridge between legacy safe-haven assets and blockchain-based liquidity.
⚖️ How XAUT Stacks Up
Token Backing Highlight
Tether Gold ($XAUT) 1 oz per token Largest, most liquid tokenized gold.
PAX Gold ($PAXG ) 1 oz per token Fully regulated, US-based issuer.
PMGT 1 oz per token Guaranteed by the Perth Mint, Australia.
📊 With over $2.7B in circulation, Tether Gold now dominates the digital gold landscape — solidifying its position as a leading store-of-value RWA in crypto markets.
As investors seek security amid global uncertainty, the rise of tokenized gold like $XAUT may mark a lasting shift — from paper claims to programmable ownership.
