About Tether Gold
What is Tether Gold?
Tether Gold (XAUt) is a digital token where each unit represents one troy ounce of physical gold, held in allocated storage in Swiss vaults. It's issued by TG Commodities Limited, a Tether affiliate. Each XAUt token corresponds to a specific gold bar with a publicly verifiable serial number, weight, and purity.
Like PAX Gold, XAUt makes gold ownership practical in the digital age: hold it in a wallet, transfer it instantly, trade it without worrying about storage, insurance, or shipping. XAUt is available on Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20), giving flexibility based on fees and the wallets you use.
The main distinction between XAUt and PAXG is the custodian and jurisdiction: PAXG stores gold in Brink's London under Paxos custodianship; XAUt stores gold in Swiss vaults, often valued for regulatory stability and privacy. Both are credible products: the choice often comes down to which exchanges and wallets you already use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between XAUt and PAXG?
Custodian and jurisdiction. PAXG → Brink's London (Paxos custody). XAUt → Swiss vaults (Tether-affiliate custody). Both fully backed by allocated gold. Pick based on which you can transact in most easily.
Can I verify which gold bar I own?
Yes. Tether publishes a lookup tool where XAUt holders can query the specific gold bars assigned to their address. Each bar has a unique serial, weight, and purity.
Why Swiss vaults?
Switzerland has a long history of precious-metal storage and strong regulatory stability around physical-asset custody. Many institutional gold holders use Swiss vaults for the same reason.
Is XAUt available on Solana?
Not directly. XAUt is currently issued on Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20). For Solana-based gold exposure, you'd want a wrapped version or a different gold token entirely.
