Tether's tokenized gold (XAUT) worth $94.6 million is actively used on DeFi platforms, with Aave capturing 74.2% of these deposits, mainly through its V3 and V4 markets. This marks a shift as gold moves from static vault storage to dynamic collateral for loans, allowing users to borrow stablecoins while retaining gold price exposure. Despite this growth, XAUT lending represents only 1.5% of the total tokenized gold market, while Tether recently minted $495 million more XAUT, raising questions about future demand and usage. The market is currently concentrated around Aave, and increased utilization could drive further growth.
