What is Tether Gold?

XAUT was launched in 2020 by a company in the Tether group, the same one behind the USDT stablecoin. Each token corresponds to ownership of one fine troy ounce of gold, about 31.1 grams, on identified bars.

Its price tracks the international gold price, not the dollar.

How Tether Gold works

The issuer holds gold bars in a vault in Switzerland and issues the same amount of tokens. Its website lets holders look up which bar each balance is tied to.

Redemption in physical gold is done directly with the issuer, with a high minimum quantity and delivery in Switzerland. For most holders, the exit is selling the token in the market.

What XAUT is used for

  • Exposure to the gold price with 24-hour trading and small fractions.
  • Diversifying crypto portfolios.
  • Collateral on some lending platforms.

Risks and points of attention

  • Issuer and custodian risk: the holder depends on the company for storage and redemption of the gold.
  • Restricted physical redemption, which makes secondary market liquidity essential.
  • The price can drift from the gold price when liquidity is thin.
  • The issuer can freeze tokens at specific addresses.
