Tether Gold has been recognized as a Spot Commodity Product accepted in Abu Dhabi’s global market, enabling regulated companies to offer the tokenized gold asset with the appropriate permissions. This represents an important milestone for the real-world assets ecosystem. Each XAU₮ token represents one troy ounce of physically delivered London-standard gold, held in certified vaults.

The tokenization of traditional assets, such as gold, sovereign debt and real estate. is gaining institutional traction because it allows, immediate 24/7 transfer and on-chain settlement compared to the restricted hours of the traditional metals market, with greater liquidity and fractionalization of the underlying asset.
