Tether's purchase of 7.7 tons of gold: What does it mean for XAUT?

Tether has expanded its physical gold reserves by purchasing over 7.7 tons of new gold, supporting the backing of its digital product linked to gold, XAU₮. This announcement comes as part of the company's first regulatory certificate issued for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the growing global demand for stable assets that are protected from inflation.

Why did Tether buy gold?

As geopolitical tensions escalate and concerns about new tariffs rise amidst ongoing global financial uncertainty, Tether seeks through this investment to enhance the reliability of the XAU₮ currency as a secure digital solution for investors seeking safe havens.

Each XAU₮ token is fully backed by one troy ounce of gold certified by the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG) for precious metals (LBMA), securely stored in Switzerland, confirming Tether's commitment to compliance, transparency, and operational integrity.

The rise of XAU₮ as a leading digital gold investment

The market capitalization of the XAU₮ currency reached approximately $770 million by the end of the first quarter of 2025, with the price of each token standing at $3,123.57. This strong performance reflects the growing interest in digital assets backed by real commodities.

Unlike many other gold tokens that may face regulatory or operational risks, XAU₮ features reliable backing and a solid legal framework. It has also received official regulatory recognition in El Salvador, enhancing its status among individual and institutional investors.

Additionally, XAU₮ reached its all-time high of $3,423 on April 21, 2025, achieving a 9.6% increase since the end of the first quarter. This confirms its role as a modern means that combines traditional wealth preservation with financial innovation based on blockchain technologies.
