USDT0 Launches XAUt0 to Modernize Gold Ownership Through Blockchain

USDT0, the unified liquidity network for Tether’s USDt stablecoin, has unveiled XAUt0—an omnichain evolution of Tether Gold (XAUt). This innovation brings physically backed gold ownership to major blockchains, combining inflation-resistant asset custody with DeFi composability.

Unlike traditional Gold ETFs or tokenized trackers, XAUt0 grants direct ownership rights and cross-chain liquidity. The original XAUt, launched in 2020, pioneered large-scale RWA tokenization by merging gold’s stability with blockchain transparency. The upgraded XAUt0 now enables seamless integration with lending protocols, FX arbitrage, and multi-chain liquidity pools.

Tether’s MOVE signals growing institutional demand for asset-backed tokens that retain traditional store-of-value characteristics while unlocking programmable finance capabilities. The product launch coincides with accelerating adoption of gold-pegged digital assets as hedges against macroeconomic uncertainty.
