Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says that over the past six months, roughly ninety-four tonnes worth of XAUT — Tether’s gold-backed token — were transferred on-chain with total fees of just about 0.0016%.
That’s the headline.
Now let’s unpack it properly.
XAUT represents tokenized gold, meaning each token is backed by physical bullion. Moving that much value traditionally would involve custodians, paperwork, banking rails, and significant settlement friction. On-chain, it moves instantly with negligible transaction cost.
That’s the efficiency argument.
But efficiency alone doesn’t equal disruption.
The real significance isn’t the fee percentage — it’s what it demonstrates: tokenized commodities can settle at digital speed while remaining backed by physical reserves. That’s a structural shift in how value can transfer globally.
Still, two things matter more than fee optics:
Custodial transparency of the underlying gold
Redemption mechanisms and regulatory clarity
Fast transfers are impressive. Trust structure is essential.
If tokenized gold consistently proves secure, liquid, and redeemable, it becomes more than a novelty — it becomes programmable collateral for global finance.
Physical gold. Digital rails.
That’s the convergence narrative.
Now the question is whether adoption scales — or remains a niche efficiency play.

Pada tingkat saat ini sekitar $67K, kerugian agregat yang belum direalisasi Bitcoin mendekati sembilan belas persen dari total kapitalisasi pasar, menurut Glassnode — struktur rasa sakit yang mirip dengan apa yang dialami pasar selama fase stres tengah siklus tahun 2022.
Itu bukan penurunan kecil.
Kerugian yang belum direalisasi mengukur seberapa banyak dari pasokan yang beredar berada di bawah dasar biaya. Ketika persentase itu meningkat tajam, itu mencerminkan pemegang yang terjebak — tekanan yang terakumulasi di bawah permukaan.
Tapi inilah bagian yang paling diabaikan oleh sebagian besar trader:
