Tether issues $495M in gold-backed XAUT tokens, boosting tokenized gold assets to $5.27B.

Tether recently minted $494.57 million worth of its gold-backed XAUT tokens, increasing the supply of tokenized gold assets significantly. XAUT tokens are backed one-to-one by physical gold stored in Swiss vaults, ensuring their value is tied directly to real gold. This issuance surpasses the $437 million minted in August 2025 and contributes to the growth of tokenized gold assets from $2.5 billion in September 2025 to $5.27 billion in early 2026. XAUT represents about half of the tokenized gold market and is approved for compliant use in El Salvador, expanding the presence of gold on blockchain platforms.

Tether's USDT token trades at Rp17.956 on Pluang as of Sep 29, 2026 19:32 WIB. The market cap stands at Rp3.296,35 trillion with a 1-day change of -0.07%. Pluang users show a buying interest with 58% buy orders and hold USDT for an average of 89 days.
