#GOLD #XAUT

⚠️ Problem: Illusion of ownership (98% of the market)

Most investors buy gold through ETFs or bank accounts. This is convenient, but it carries hidden risks:

• Unallocated assets (IOU): You own a piece of paper that says “I owe you gold.” You don’t know your bar number or where it is.

• Logistical collapse: In the event of a global financial crisis, thousands of investors will simultaneously demand physical delivery. Moving billions of dollars of metal in one day is physically impossible.

• Price gap: In a moment of panic, the price of real bars can skyrocket, while the price of “paper” gold will fall due to the impossibility of settlements.

💡 Solution: On-chain gold (Tokenization)

Schmidtke suggests switching to tokenized gold, such as XAUT (Tether Gold):

• Direct connection: Each token is inextricably linked to a specific gold bar in a Swiss vault. It’s your digital “title deed.”

• Instant Transfer: You can transfer ownership of gold anywhere in the world in seconds via the blockchain.

• Transparency: Unlike stocks, ownership can be verified and tracked in real time.

📊 Aurelion’s Strategy

Schmidtke is betting on a future where how you own an asset is as important as the asset itself:

• Already holds 33,318 XAUT tokens (approximately $153 million).

• View gold as a long-term asset, not a tool for quick arbitrage.

• Plan to raise new capital to expand the gold treasury.
