Ledn, a crypto lending platform known for Bitcoin-backed loans, has introduced Tether Gold (XAU₮) as a new collateral option for loans in USDT or USA₮ stablecoins. This allows holders of tokenized gold, which is backed one-to-one by physical gold, to access liquidity without selling their gold tokens. The move diversifies Ledn's collateral beyond Bitcoin, offering a less volatile asset and enabling borrowers to maintain gold exposure while obtaining dollar liquidity. This feature launched on June 18, 2026, in over 100 countries, excluding Canada and the EU due to regulatory complexities. The addition reflects a strategic partnership with Tether and taps into the growing tokenized commodity market within real-world assets.
