Aurelion Treasury Launches Nasdaq’s First-Ever Tether Gold Reserve

Digital gold meets traditional exchange in landmark crypto integration

The Institutional Bridge

Nasdaq just opened its vaults to tokenized gold—Aurelion Treasury's Tether Gold reserve marks the exchange's first foray into crypto-backed precious metals. No more paper promises; each token represents actual physical gold bars sitting in Swiss storage facilities.

Mainstream Meets Digital Asset

Traditional finance giants are finally waking up to what crypto natives knew years ago—tokenization unlocks liquidity while maintaining asset backing. The move signals growing institutional comfort with blockchain-based assets, even as regulators scramble to keep pace.

Gold 2.0: Programmable, Divisible, Tradeable

Forget clunky gold ETFs. Tether Gold tokens trade 24/7, can be divided into microscopic fractions, and move across borders faster than a wire transfer. It's everything gold always wanted to be—if only it had blockchain technology decades earlier.

Wall Street's latest 'innovation'? Catching up to what Satoshi started fifteen years ago—but hey, at least they're finally using the right technology.

In a separate interview with CNBC, Wilson said that once he left, the company leaned too heavily on algorithms to follow trends instead of relying on creative leadership. He argued that this approach left Lululemon unable to stand out in today’s tough market. As a result, Wilson suggested that big changes may be needed, such as teaming up with an activist investor to replace the current board or even taking the company private, which is something that retailers like Burlington Stores (BURL) and BJ’s Wholesale Club (BJ) did before returning to the public market stronger.

Unsurprisingly, Lululemon responded by saying that Wilson hasn’t been involved in a decade and continues to make misleading claims. Nevertheless, it doesn’t change the fact that Lululemon’s rival, Aritzia (ATZAF), has gained 71% this year and grown revenue faster with more affordable products. At the same time, competitors like NikeSkims (NKE), Alo, Vuori, and Athleta (GAP) are closing in.
