“People understand gold. They trust it because it has held value for millennia,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, in a statement. “With XAUT, we are not changing what gold is; we are making it usable in a modern financial system. You still have direct exposure to physical gold, but now it can move instantly, settle globally, and integrate seamlessly with digital markets.
“Listing on BNB Chain expands that access to hundreds of millions of users,” he added, “bringing gold into a system where it can actually be used, not just held.”
The price of gold peaked above $5,500 in late January and was still above the $5,000 level earlier this month, but has since ticked down to a recent price of $4,442, falling nearly 15% in the last month. Users on prediction market Myriad—which is operated by Decrypt's parent company, Dastan—remain bullish on the asset, giving a 64% chance that it will next rise to $4,900 rather than fall to $3,700.
Tether is the firm behind USDT, the leading dollar-pegged stablecoin with an $184 billion market cap and recent daily trading volume above $64 billion. Earlier this week, the company said that it has secured a “Big Four” accounting firm for the first time to perform a full independent audit on USDT reserves, but has yet to identify the firm in question.

稳定币巨头Tether将其领先的黄金支持代币扩展到BNB链
Tether 周四宣布已在 BNB 链上推出其黄金支持代币 XAUT，扩大了对这一主导的代币化黄金产品的访问，因为近期贵金属价格飙升至新高。
该上市将 BNB 链的生态系统与 XAUT 连接起来，后者是市场上最大的黄金支持代币，市值接近 25 亿美元。截至本文撰写时，市场总值约为 53 亿美元，来自 CoinGecko 的数据显示。Paxos 的 PAX Gold 市值也不遑多让，约为 23 亿美元。
最初在以太坊上推出的每个 XAUT 代币代表一盎司在瑞士金库中存放的实物黄金，作为伦敦交付标准金条，由独立鉴证确认1:1支持。根据 Tether 最新的鉴证报告，截至2025年底，该公司持有超过 52 万盎司的黄金。
领先的加密货币交易所 Binance（推出了 BNB 代币和 BNB 链网络）已开启 XAUT 与 USDT、比特币、FDUSD、USDC 和 TRY 等交易对的现货交易。
