Tether Holdings, the issuer of the market’s largest stablecoin, USDT, has 
revealed that it maintains a vault in Switzerland to safeguard an impressive 
$8 billion stockpile of gold. According to Bloomberg, the firm&#8217;s significant 
reserve of nearly 80 tons positions Tether as one of the largest gold holders 
globally, surpassed only by central banks and sovereign nations with the 
company based in El Salvador expressing intentions to expand its gold reserves 
further. Tether Reveals 5% Of Reserves In Precious Metals In a recent 
interview, Tether&#8217;s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized the security of their 
vault, claiming it to be among the most secure facilities worldwide. While he 
confirmed the vault’s location in Switzerland, he opted not to disclose its 
exact whereabouts, citing security concerns. Related Reading: PEPE Traders 
Spot Breakout Echo—Explosive Surge Back On The Table? Tether is best known for 
its stablecoin, USDT, which aims to maintain a one-to-one value with the US 
dollar. According to CoinMarketCap data, USDT dominates the stablecoin market 
with a capitalization of $158 billion. Circle’s USDC follows closely behind 
with a capitalization of $61 billion. However, both companies are expected to 
see a major surge in this metric as the recently approved US Senate stablecoin 
bill, the GENIUS Act, aims to provide issuers with a new regulatory framework 
that could further boost adoption and usage of the assets by traditional 
financial companies. The company also generates revenue by exchanging dollars 
for USDT tokens and investing the collateral in various assets, including US 
Treasuries. According to Tether&#8217;s latest financial report, precious metals now 
account for nearly 5% of the company’s reserves. Benefits Of The Gold-Backed 
XAUT Token In addition to USDT, Tether has introduced a gold-backed token 
known as XAUT, with each token representing one ounce of gold. Token holders 
have the option to redeem their XAUT for physical gold, which can be collected 
directly from the Swiss vault. Related Reading: Ethereum Sees $6 Billion In 
Tokenized Funds As Big Players Jump In Ardoino articulated a growing belief in 
gold as a safer asset compared to national currencies, particularly in light 
of rising concerns over the increasing debt levels in the United States. He 
noted that as these concerns grow, investors may seek alternatives, such as 
gold. The firm’s CEO further highlighted that every central bank within the 
BRICS nations is actively purchasing gold, which he believes has contributed 
to the rising price of the precious metal. Per the report, the decision to 
establish Tether&#8217;s own vault rather than relying on traditional precious 
metals vault operators was primarily influenced by cost considerations. As of 
press time, Circle’s newly launched stock, CRCL, has closed the trading day at 
$204, approximately a 31% gap between current valuations and their record 
price of $298. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
