About Tether Gold
XAUT is a token issued by Tether where one unit corresponds to one troy ounce of gold held in a Swiss vault. It therefore tracks the gold price, not the dollar as USDT does — a way to hold gold on a blockchain and move it within minutes without physical shipping.
Each token has specific traceable gold behind it: Tether publishes bar numbers matching its holdings. At sufficient volume, physical redemption can be requested, which distinguishes gold tokens from purely synthetic backing.
There are two risks and both differ from crypto's. The price moves with the gold market, not with crypto, and the backing rests on trust in a single issuer and its custodian — Tether stands behind XAUT the same way it does behind USDT, with its own balance sheet and attestations, not a cryptographic proof.
