Tether invested $150 million in Gold.com
to expand access to digital and physical gold.
This step highlights Tether's pursuit of safer digital assets backed by gold.
Tether, the developer of USDT, the largest stablecoin in the world, invested $150 million in Gold.com to acquire gold. This investment gives Tether a 12% ownership stake in Gold.com. Through this investment, Tether aims to provide tokenized gold that can be traded via blockchain technology, making it safer amid global economic instability.
What does this partnership mean?
Under this partnership, Tether will integrate its gold-backed digital currency XAUT into the Gold.com platform, allowing users to purchase real gold using USDT currency. The USAT token, which is Tether's new U.S.-regulated stablecoin, can also be used. Following the announcement of this partnership, Gold.com shares rose by 6%.
Tokenized gold is real gold that has been converted into a digital currency. Each XAUT token is backed 1:1 by real gold, which is securely stored in Swiss vaults, allowing users to trade or transfer it digitally without having to handle it as physical bullion. The tokenized gold market has seen rapid growth from $1.3 billion to over $5.5 billion. Tether's XAUT currently controls over 60% of this market.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated that gold is a long-term hedge, noting that it has preserved value for hundreds of years and performs well during financial crises. According to Ardoino, Tether aims to protect both its users and reserves, thus gold helps balance risks in an unstable global economy.
In addition to this deal, Tether has also invested in Anchorage Digital, a U.S.-licensed digital currency bank. This bank supports the USAT token, indicating Tether's expansion into regulated U.S. markets, integrating digital dollars with gold and regulatory frameworks$HNT $ETC
