XAUT Now Available on Speed Wallet: Buy, Send, and Swap Digital Gold

What exactly is XAUT?

XAUT is digital gold, issued by Tether (the same company behind USDT). Each token is backed 1:1 by one fine troy ounce of physical gold stored in secure vaults in Switzerland. The gold meets the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Good Delivery standard—which is basically the global benchmark for “yes, this is real, high-quality gold.”

Here’s what makes it different from just buying gold the traditional way: XAUT can be fractionated down to 0.000001 troy ounce, meaning you don’t need thousands of dollars to own gold. You can buy $20 worth if that’s what works for you.

And unlike gold ETFs or certificates, XAUT holders can actually redeem their tokens for physical gold. Most people never will, but the point is—you could. That’s real ownership.

Why this matters

Let’s be real: crypto moves fast. Prices swing. Sometimes you wake up and your portfolio looks very different than it did yesterday.

Gold doesn’t do that. It’s been a store of value for over 5,000 years. It acts as a hedge against inflation and economic instability, just like physical gold always has. When markets get chaotic, people turn to gold. They always have.

But here’s the problem with traditional gold: buying it is a hassle. You need to find a dealer, pay premiums, figure out storage, worry about security. If you want to sell or move it, you’re back to square one. It’s slow, expensive, and honestly exhausting.

Tether Gold was launched in January 2020 to solve exactly this problem—to bring back a form of the gold standard, but make it actually usable in the digital age.

What you can actually do with XAUT on Speed Wallet?

Buy any amount you want
No minimums. Start with $10 or $10,000. XAUT tokens are divisible into increments as small as 0.000001 fine troy ounce, which means you can own exactly as much or as little gold as makes sense for your portfolio.

Send it anywhere, instantly
Tether Gold tokens can be quickly sent between wallets without the hassle of moving physical gold bars. Want to send gold to family in another country? Takes seconds. Try doing that with actual gold bars.

Swap it for anything
Market looking shaky? Swap some Bitcoin for XAUT. Things stabilizing? Swap it back. Or move it into USDT, USDC, or whatever makes sense. It’s all right there in Speed Wallet.

Trade 24/7
Unlike traditional gold markets that operate during business hours, Tether Gold is available 24/7. The gold market closes. Crypto doesn’t. Now your gold doesn’t either.

Actually own real gold
Every XAUT token corresponds to a specific gold bar in a Swiss vault. Holders can look up the serial number, weight and purity linked to their on-chain address. Everything’s transparent. Everything’s verifiable.

Who this is for

This isn’t just for gold bugs or doomsday preppers.

This is for anyone who wants a more balanced portfolio without the headache of managing multiple platforms. For people who’ve been in crypto long enough to appreciate having an asset that doesn’t check the news every five minutes.

It’s for the person who wants to hedge against volatility without moving money out of crypto entirely. For someone who sees the value in diversification but wants it to be simple.

It’s for anyone who’s ever thought “I should probably own some gold” and then realized how annoying the whole process would be.

Now it’s not annoying. Now it’s just… there. Ready when you need it.

The details that matter

XAUT was launched in 2020 by TG Commodities Limited, a Tether company. It operates as both an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and a TRC-20 token on TRON, though you don’t need to worry about any of that—Speed handles it all.

There are no custody fees charged by the issuer. The gold just sits there, backing your tokens, costing you nothing to hold.

The transparency is real. Tether maintains public records of all the gold bars backing XAUT. You can verify that the supply of tokens matches the amount of gold in the vaults. It’s all auditable, all trackable.
