USDT0 and XAUt0 Launch on Polygon to Unify Liquidity for DeFi and RWAs

Polygon, one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in modern finance, has integrated USDT0 and XAUt0, marking a significant upgrade for its liquidity infrastructure. USDT0, the unified liquidity network for Tether (USDT), and XAUt0, the omnichain evolution of Tether Gold, now enable seamless cross-chain transactions without reliance on bridges or wrapped tokens.

The adoption of USDT0 has been meteoric, with over $10.5 billion in bridge volume and 210,000+ cross-chain transfers in under a year. This positions it as the most active OFT in the LayerZero ecosystem. Meanwhile, XAUt0 introduces native gold-backed collateral to Polygon, empowering developers to incorporate institutional-grade asset strategies into DeFi, hedging, and asset management applications.

Polygon's integration of these assets solidifies its role as a hub for real-world asset innovation, catering to both retail and institutional demand for composable value.
