Tether’s tokenized gold product, Tether Gold (XAUT), has been integrated into the crypto lending platform Ledn and plans to launch XAUT-collateralized lending services later this year. Tether states that XAUT is backed 1:1 by physical gold stored in Swiss vaults, with each token corresponding to 1 troy ounce of gold; it currently represents approximately $23 billion in gold reserves. Ledn says that XAUT users deposit as collateral will continue to be held in custody on a 1:1 basis and will not be lent out or used to generate returns. (CoinDesk)

As Tether’s business lines expand further, it wants all of gold, US Treasuries, and Bitcoin—regulators’ eyes will likely be on it even more closely.

Ledn doesn't use it for yield farming, which is quite rare in DeFi in terms of integrity.

23 billion reserves sound scary, but gold ETFs have been around for many years. What new tricks does the crypto version have?
