Tether Gold (XAU₮), the world’s tokenized gold product, reportedly continues to demonstrate strength amid a rush toward real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and surging gold prices. At the end of the third quarter this year, XAU₮’s market cap topped 1.44 Billion, increasing in the past week to close to the 2.1 Billion mark. As of 30 September, the Management of TG Commodities S.A. de C.V., a registered Stablecoin Issuer and Digital Asset Service Provider under El Salvador’s Digital Asset Issuance Law, has affirmed that:
- Total Physical Gold Reserves: 375,572.297 fine troy ounces
- Total XAU₮ Tokens in Circulation: 375,572.247 XAU₮
- Gold Backing: 1:1 (Each XAU₮ token is backed by at least one fine troy ounce of physical gold)
- Gold Price (30 September 2025): US$3,858.96 per ounce
- Total Market Value: US$1,449,318,278
- Tokens Sold: 235,820.936000
- Tokens Available for Sale: 139,751.311000
The gold reserves are now reportedly being held in Switzerland, and in “full compliance with London Good Delivery standards.”
Gold has surged to new highs this year, enabled by sticky inflation, geopolitical fragmentation, and demand from reserve banks and institutional investors.
Amid this trend, Tether Gold’s reserves topped 11.6 tons in Q3 2025, representing around $1.5 billion in tokenized value, making it “one of the most trusted and transparent forms of digital gold ownership.”
As investors seek refuge from fiat depreciation and policy instability, Tether Gold continues to stand out as a “fully backed” digital asset that bridges traditional value with the “flexibility of blockchain.”
October has seen momentum in the RWA sector, with asset managers, sovereign entities, and fintechs adopting blockchain-powered models for asset issuance and custody. Tether Gold remains at the center of this development, providing a product that pairs the world’s oldest store of value with the accessibility required by modern markets.
By ensuring 1:1 physical backing, regulatory compliance, and open on-chain verification, Tether Gold continues to “define what responsible tokenization looks like in an increasingly fragmented financial landscape.”
As economies struggle to deal with monetary uncertainty and a resurgence in hard-asset accumulation, XAU₮ aims to serve as a hedge and a foundation for a digital economy. The token enables users to hold and transfer real gold ownership, without needing any intermediaries or compromise.
