Tether Gold (XAUt) officially lands on BNB Chain, accelerating the arrival of the golden age on the chain According to TechFlow, on March 30th, Tether's tokenized gold product Tether Gold (XAUt) officially launched BNB Chain on March 26th, introducing physical gold assets directly into the on chain ecosystem. Each token of XAUt corresponds to one troy ounce of physical gold, backed 1:1 by high-quality London delivery gold bars stored in the Swiss vault. The total reserve is approximately 1800 gold bars, weighing over 22100 kilograms, and proof of reserve is publicly available. The significance of this launch is that users do not need to go through the traditional custody, storage, premium, and cumbersome settlement processes required for gold investment. They can directly obtain physical gold exposure in the BNB Chain ecosystem and seamlessly integrate with trading, DeFi, and other on chain activities without transferring funds off chain. For developers, XAUt provides an asset with low relevance to the cryptocurrency market, which helps build more balanced product designs. In addition, Tether achieves liquidity interoperability of XAUt among more than 12 blockchains through the USDt0 cross chain network, further improving the efficiency of issuance, transfer, and settlement. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that this move aims to integrate gold into the modern digital financial system, giving it the ability for instant settlement and global circulation. This integration further consolidates BNB Chain's leading advantage in the real world asset (RWA) race. At present, the asset size of BNB Chain RWA distribution is about 3.2 billion US dollars, ranking as the second largest RWA public chain in the world, with over 41000 holders and a net inflow of about 845 million US dollars in the past 30 days. These data reflect the actual usage situation - assets are being held, traded, and deeply integrated into the entire ecosystem, rather than being idle after issuance. The addition of XAUt marks a new stage in RWA's transition from "issuance and storage" to truly usable and composable on chain assets.
