Bybit has <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://x.com/i/status/2013219891667411067">announced</a> support for deposits and withdrawals of Tether Gold (XAUT) on the Mantle network, a move that deepens on-chain access to tokenized real-world assets and strengthens cross-chain functionality for crypto users. The update, confirmed in a company release on January 19, allows users to move gold-backed digital assets more efficiently between centralized exchange infrastructure and decentralized applications.
XAUT is a tokenized representation of physical gold issued by Tether, with each token backed 1:1 by one troy ounce of gold held in secure vaults. By enabling XAUT on Mantle, Bybit is positioning tokenized gold as a more accessible on-chain asset at a time when demand for stable, non-sovereign stores of value is rising across the crypto market.

Mantle’s Layer-2 network is built to support real-world assets at scale, offering lower fees and faster settlement compared to Ethereum mainnet. The addition of XAUT aligns with a broader industry push to bring traditional assets such as commodities and treasuries on-chain in a form that can interact seamlessly with DeFi protocols.
For crypto users, the integration enables holding, transferring, and deploying gold-backed assets on-chain without sacrificing capital efficiency. Tokenized gold can now be used more easily across Mantle-based applications, including vault strategies, lending markets, and structured products that rely on predictable settlement and liquidity.

Bybit’s support for XAUT on Mantle also enhances user flexibility by simplifying the movement of gold-backed tokens between centralized and decentralized environments. The exchange acts as an on- and off-ramp, while Mantle provides the on-chain infrastructure for broader crypto-native use cases.
