Tether finances $1.5B to Gold.com, expanding beyond stablecoins into gold trading.

Tether has provided about $1.5 billion in financing to Gold.com, a major US precious-metals dealer, allowing Gold.com to lease precious metals without immediate full payment. This arrangement helps Gold.com trade and operate with the metals before settling its debt. The move marks Tether's expansion from simply holding gold and issuing stablecoins to actively financing gold trading and distribution, creating a new income source but increasing its exposure to the precious metals market. Gold.com's strong earnings and Tether's role as its biggest financier highlight this growing financial relationship.
