$XAUT and a platform built around it do not share the same lifecycle.
Tether's June 17 notice set September 17, 2026 as the date after which users who had not returned aUSD₮ would no longer recover their XAU₮ through Alloy. The notice concerns Alloy and aUSD₮, while explicitly retaining XAU₮ among Tether's core priorities.
That distinction matters: a collateral-backed product winding down is not the same announcement as its underlying asset shutting down. Nor does a dated notice prove the interface's current operational state.
My takeaway: evaluate the asset, the application and the exit mechanism separately. For unresolved Alloy cases, the issuer's official support channel—not a social-media workaround—is the relevant source of clarification. #AlloyWindDown
