Новая единица золотого токена запущена, рыночная капитализация XAUT превысила 2,3 миллиарда долларов

【BlockBeats】Tether recently launched a new unit of account for its gold token XAUT called Scudo. The design is quite interesting: 1 Scudo represents 1/1000 troy ounce of gold, which converts to approximately $4.48 at current gold prices.

The benefits are obvious. Previously, the minimum unit of gold tokens was relatively large, making it costly for retail users to participate. With the introduction of Scudo, the entry barrier has significantly lowered, allowing more people to gain gold exposure affordably. Data shows that XAUT’s market cap has reached $2.3 billion, indicating that tokenized gold is indeed attracting capital.

More importantly, gold assets are now deeply integrated with stablecoins and crypto trading. Some platforms now support direct trading of US stock futures with USDT and spot trading of Hong Kong stocks, while also integrating gold and other precious metals trading. This allows users to manage crypto assets, gold, and global stock markets simultaneously within one account — combining both trading and hedging strategies with much greater flexibility.

This trend is worth noting. Gold has always been a safe-haven asset in traditional finance. Now that it’s encoded as a token, it’s being integrated into the crypto and derivatives ecosystem, forming an entirely new multi-asset allocation framework.
