<p>The initiative aims to create a publicly listed vehicle that gives investors exposure to tokenized gold through traditional financial markets. Cohen &amp; Co. is acting as the lead advisor on the deal.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-tether-gold-works">How Tether Gold Works?</h2>
<p>Launched in 2020 by a Tether subsidiary, Tether Gold (XAU₮) represents one troy fine ounce of gold stored in London Good Delivery bars. Every token is one-to-one backed, with serial numbers, weights, and proof of purity, and is redeemable for physical gold.</p>
<p>On the Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20), the token can also be traded or transferred anywhere in the world, closing the gap between traditional bullion and digital assets.</p>
<p>As part of the extended partnership, Antalpha will provide XAU₮-backed lending and full-stack infrastructure services from its RWA Hub, a real-world asset platform. The company also aims to establish physical vaults in key global financial centers, allowing token owners to redeem XAU₮ for physical gold bars.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="why-this-matters">Why This Matters?</h2>
<p>Global demand for gold has surged amid geopolitical uncertainty and persistent inflation. Its price has continued hitting a new all-time high throughout the week, marking $3,886 as of October 4, according to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">goldprice.org</a> data. Following this, Tether Gold’s market capitalization has doubled over the past year to about $1.5 billion, based on <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether-gold" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinGecko</a>.</p>
<p>In the official <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/9/29/3157526/0/en/Antalpha-Expands-Collaboration-with-Tether-to-Broaden-Access-to-Tether-Gold-XAU-via-RWA-Hub.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">press release</a> from Antalpha, CFO Paul Liang added that the partnership aims to make digital gold more accessible and integrated with real-world assets. He noted, “Through the Antalpha RWA Hub, we hope to deliver new capabilities and services like this that will increase the liquidity and product offerings of Tether Gold.”</p>
<p>“Gold has always held a unique role as a store of value, and XAU₮ brings that resilience into the digital asset space,” Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said. “Working with Antalpha allows us to expand the reach of XAU₮ and build stronger market infrastructure around it.”</p>
<p>The move is part of a broader trend of tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), where physical commodities, securities, or cash flows are represented as blockchain-based tokens. Tether is also seeking to <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2025/09/24/tether-plans-capital-raise-at-500b-valuation-ceo-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">raise up to $20 billion</a> for its stablecoin business.</p>
