What is XAU₮?

Tether Gold (XAU₮) is a digital token backed by physical gold. It is issued by Tether, the largest digital asset issuer. Each XAU₮ token is backed 1:1 by one troy ounce of physical gold, stored in Switzerland. 

In April, Tether released its Q1 2025 XAU₮ Attestation Report, revealing that “the token maintains its position as the highest market-cap, most secure, and compliant tokenized gold product in the market.” As of April 28, 2025, XAU₮’s market capitalization is $770 million, with over 7.7 tons of physical gold backing the token in circulation.
