Tether Gold (XAUT) is a digital token where each unit is backed by one troy ounce of physical gold stored in a Swiss vault. It runs on the Ethereum and TRON blockchains, so you get the stability of gold combined with the convenience of a crypto asset. Think of it as a way to hold gold that you can send anywhere in minutes, like any other token.
Frequently asked questions
What is Tether Gold and how is it different from regular gold or Bitcoin?
XAUT is a tokenized version of physical gold — each token represents ownership of one troy ounce of a gold bar held in a vault in Switzerland. Unlike Bitcoin, which has no physical backing, XAUT's value is tied directly to real gold. And unlike buying gold coins or bars, you don't deal with storage, insurance, or delivery logistics.
How does Tether Gold work technically?
XAUT is issued as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and a TRC-20 token on TRON. The tokens are created by TG Commodities Limited, and the underlying gold is stored with a custodian in Switzerland. You can verify your ownership by looking up the assigned gold bar serial number on the company's website.
How is XAUT issued and is the gold really there?
New tokens are only issued when corresponding physical gold is purchased and deposited into the vault, and tokens are destroyed when gold is redeemed. The gold is held in allocated storage, meaning specific bars belong to token holders rather than the company itself. Holders can also request physical delivery of their gold, subject to minimum amounts and fees.
Where can you store and use Tether Gold?
Since XAUT is a standard token, you can keep it in any wallet that supports ERC-20 or TRC-20 assets, including hardware wallets. It trades on major cryptocurrency exchanges and can be transferred peer-to-peer like any crypto. Some platforms also let you swap it for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies.
