What is Tether Gold XAU₮ and XAU₮0

Tether Gold is issued by TG Commodities Limited and represents direct ownership of physical gold on-chain.

• Each token is backed by 1 troy ounce of LBMA Good Delivery gold

• Gold is fully allocated and stored in Swiss vaults

• Each token corresponds to specific gold bars with verifiable serial numbers, weight, and purity

XAU₮0 is the omnichain representation of Tether Gold, allowing the same gold-backed asset to be held and transferred across multiple blockchain networks without changing custody or reserve structure.

Why Tether Gold is different

Unlike synthetic gold products, XAU₮ represents allocated physical gold. Holders can independently verify the underlying bar data at any time.

Fractional access

XAU₮ supports small denominations, enabling flexible position sizing without the need to purchase full bars.

Continuous liquidity

Gold exposure is available 24/7, without market-hour limitations common in traditional gold markets.

No storage or logistics overhead

There are no vault contracts, insurance arrangements, or physical handling responsibilities for token holders.

Optional redemption

Eligible holders can redeem XAU₮ for physical gold within Switzerland or receive cash proceeds from a gold sale.

Global portability

XAU₮ transfers like any blockchain asset, enabling fast, borderless movement while maintaining exposure to physical gold.

Supported blockchains

Tether Gold is available across several blockchain ecosystems, offering flexibility in fees, speed, and infrastructure.

1. Ethereum (ERC-20)

2. The Open Network (TON)

3. Solana (SOL)

4. Avalanche (AVAX-C)

5. Polygon (POL)

6. Arbitrum (ARB1)

7. Ink ecosystem networks (INK)

This multi-chain availability allows users to align gold exposure with their preferred blockchain environment.
