Tether Gold

2 stories
Tether Gold is classified here as a commodity-backed stable-value token, not as a general payment company or exchange. The structure combines allocated physical gold with fine troy ounce representation; XAUT token symbol is the associated symbol or product identifier. Operational differences arise through Swiss vault custody, specific gold bar ownership, and physical redemption conditions, helping distinguish this asset from other stable-value designs.

Relevant reporting includes reserve composition, attestations, minting rules, redemption access, issuer controls, integrations, and confirmed disruptions involving Tether Gold. A protocol, exchange account, or collateral asset should be tagged separately unless the central issue is the design or operation of Tether Gold.
