March 26, 2026 – Tether, the largest company in the digital asset ecosystem, today announced that Tether Gold (XAU₮) is now available on: $BNB Chain brings industry-dominant tokenized gold products to the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Timing reflects market conditions. Gold rose 64% in 2025, posting its biggest annual gain in 40 years and hitting more than 50 all-time highs, as global sentiment turned toward safe-haven assets amid geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty.
Most people are unable to act on gold trading. Buying physical gold means dealing with custodians, premiums, and settlement delays. XAU₮ removes that friction. Each token represents 1 troy ounce of physical gold held in a Swiss vault as a London Good Delivery Bar and is 1:1 backed by an independent certificate.
This scale makes XAU₮ the clear leader in its category. As the gold-backed stablecoin market grows from approximately $1.3 billion to more than $4 billion in 2025, Tether Gold has captured approximately 60% of the total supply, a position built on strict backing standards, on-chain verifiability, and regulated issuance under El Salvador’s Digital Asset Issuance Law.
Listed $BNB Chain marks a major milestone in bridging the gap that has existed since the emergence of tokenized gold as an asset class, between institutional-level gold ownership and the level at which most digital asset investors actually trade. $BNB Chain users can now directly access physical gold in the same interface they use for all other digital assets, without the friction of intermediaries, custodial logistics, and traditional commodity markets.
XAU₮ continues to expand. Tether has integrated XAU₮ on @BNBCHAIN with the @USDt0_to network, unlocking integrated liquidity across more than a dozen chains through a dedicated infrastructure layer that increases the efficiency of tokenized gold issuance, transfer, and settlement across digital asset markets. This architecture enables seamless interoperability between platforms and participants, increasing liquidity and accessibility while maintaining the simplicity of direct gold exposure for end users.
“People understand gold. They trust gold because it has been valuable for thousands of years,” he said. Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “With XAU₮, we are not changing the nature of gold, but making it available to modern financial systems. You can touch physical gold directly, but now it can be moved instantly, settled around the world, and seamlessly integrated with digital markets. $BNB The chain will expand that access to hundreds of millions of users and bring gold into a system where it can actually be used, not just held. ”
“XAU₮” $BNB Chain expands what is already the second largest RWA ecosystem with TVL. This gives users a trusted gold-backed asset that can be used across DeFi without friction, reinforcing the direction we have been heading. ” said Nina Rong, Executive Director of Growth $BNB chain.
XAU₮ is issued by TG Commodities, SA de CV, a stablecoin issuer and digital asset service provider registered under El Salvador’s Digital Asset Issuance Law. Complete reserve details, certification reports, and vault transparency can be found at gold.tether.to.
