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 stated that XAUT is backed 1:1 by physical gold stored in Swiss vaults, with each token corresponding to 1 troy ounce of gold, currently representing approximately $23 billion in gold reserves. Ledn stated that the XAUT used by users as collateral will continue to be custodied on a 1:1 basis and will not be lent out or used to generate returns. (CoinDesk)

Tether Gold has entered Ledn—gold on-chain rehypothecation again. This route is getting wider the more it’s followed.

The XAUT collateral is not to be touched—this clause is quite critical, as it at least lets users know their gold hasn't been used for anything else.

$23 billion in gold reserves, Swiss vaults 1:1, sounds stable, but Tether's transparency controversy isn't over yet.

Gold + DeFi lending, traditional safe-haven assets play new tricks, wait for launch to see how interest rates are set.
