Stablecoin Protocol USDT0 Aims to Bring Tokenized Gold Closer to DeFi

Another day, another stablecoin—but this one’s got a shiny twist. USDT0’s protocol isn’t just pegging to fiat; it’s dragging gold—yes, the ancient inflation hedge—into DeFi’s algorithmic jungle. Because nothing says ’trustless’ like digitizing a metal we’ve hoarded since the Pharaohs.


From Vaults to Validators

The pitch? Tokenize physical gold reserves, slap them on-chain, and let yield farmers go nuts. No more vaults, no more auditors—just smart contracts and the cold, hard logic of code. (And maybe a few old-school bankers sweating over their now-obsolete safety deposit keys.)


The Cynic’s Corner

Sure, gold’s ’stable’—until a whale dumps enough to tank the peg. But hey, at least when this one wobbles, you can blame the apes instead of the Fed. Progress?
