What is Tether Gold

Tether Gold (XAUT, styled XAU₮) is a gold-backed token from the Tether group, launched in January 2020. Each token represents ownership of one troy ounce of fine gold on a specific London Good Delivery bar. Since 2025 it has been issued and redeemed by TG Commodities, S.A. de C.V., a Tether-owned company registered in El Salvador as a stablecoin issuer, which took over from TG Commodities Limited in the British Virgin Islands.

The gold sits in a Swiss vault with a custodian that is related to Tether but outside its group. Tokens are minted only after a bar is deposited, and a lookup page shows the serial number, weight and purity of the bars linked to each address. Each quarter the issuer publishes a gold reserve report with an opinion from an independent accounting firm; the first such report for XAUT came out in 2025. XAUT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, divisible to six decimal places, and in 2026 Tether added the “scudo”, equal to 0.001 XAUT, for small amounts. A separate version, XAUt0, brings it to other networks such as TON via LayerZero.

People use XAUT to hold gold in a crypto wallet and move it between wallets and exchanges at any hour. Only verified clients can buy from the issuer directly, with a high minimum (50 XAUT as of 2025), and metal is redeemed only as whole bars delivered within Switzerland, or sold on the holder’s behalf. The closest alternative is PAX Gold (PAXG) from Paxos, whose gold sits in Brink’s vaults in London and whose issuer is supervised by New York’s financial regulator (NYDFS).

What it’s used for

holding gold in a crypto wallet without a safe deposit box
moving and trading gold on exchanges around the clock
redeeming for physical bars in Switzerland (verified clients)

Risks

issuer and custodian risk: the gold is held by a Swiss company related to Tether, and the reserve is confirmed by quarterly reports rather than continuous independent checks
Tether can freeze XAUT at an address, for example at the request of law enforcement: the smart contract has functions to block an address and destroy blocked tokens
getting the metal is hard: redemption is in whole bars only, with verification, fees and delivery limited to Switzerland, so a small holder can in practice only sell the token on the market, and the XAUT price moves with the price of gold

Contract addresses

Check the contract address before you buy or send: fake tokens copy the name and ticker, but their address is different.

Can I exchange XAUT for real gold?

Yes, but only in whole bars: the issuer generally asks for at least 430 XAUT and verification with TG Commodities, delivers only to an address in Switzerland and charges a redemption fee. Instead of delivery, you can ask the issuer to sell the bar on the Swiss market and pay out the proceeds.

What is the difference between XAUT and PAXG?

How do I check a XAUT address for AML risk?

Open @AMLmexmBot, pick the network (Ethereum (ERC-20)) and send a wallet address or a transaction hash. The bot shows the risk score in percent and where the funds came from. Your first check is free.
