<p>For centuries, gold has been a store of value and never a <strong>daily means of payment</strong>. Tether has just changed this equation. In partnership with Fasset, a digital banking platform active in Asia and Africa, the stablecoin giant launches a functional Visa card. The latter is accepted everywhere in the world where Visa is accepted.</p>

</div>
<p>But that’s not the most surprising part! Each transaction made with the card generates <strong>up to 6% cashback in XAU₮</strong>, Tether’s gold token, directly into the user’s wallet.</p>
<p>The mechanism is simple:</p>
<ul>
 <li>The user pays in fiat currency.</li>
 <li>The system converts XAU₮ into <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-markets/tether-usdt-en/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDT</a>, then into fiat in real time.</li>
 <li>The gold cashback is credited instantly.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>new Visa card</strong> even includes an automatic rounding feature. More explicitly, the leftover virtual currency after each purchase is automatically invested in XAU₮. This allows passive accumulation of gold without effort.</p>

<p>To launch the ecosystem, Tether commits up to 1 million dollars in XAU₮. The goal: to fund the rewards program. For crypto experts, this is a strong signal: the company is not testing, it is betting.</p>
<p>According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino in the <a href="https://tether.io/news/tether-collaborates-with-fasset-to-launch-the-first-gold-backed-card-unlocking-real-world-utility-for-digital-gold/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">statement</a>, the goal is to connect <strong>tokenized gold</strong> to global payment systems to make it truly usable, without friction or borders. Note that the total capitalization of tokenized digital gold today exceeds 5.3 billion dollars. And XAU₮ alone represents more than 2.6 billion.</p>

<p>For its part, Fasset reports 32 billion dollars in annualized volumes, of which 95% are in real assets. The company aims to make Tether Gold the <strong>most held digital gold token</strong> in emerging markets. In regions where monetary volatility is high, access to a safe-haven asset like gold via a simple payment card represents an unprecedented opportunity for millions of users.</p>
<p>In any case, this launch marks much more than a commercial partnership. It signals a transition: <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/tokenized-gold-soars-amid-dollar-collapse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tokenized gold</a> enters the real economy, accessible daily, for everyone.</p>
