Transak + Tether Gold (XAU₮) = Buy gold without borders with just a phone, bank account, and internet!
Transak, the leading global stablecoin onboarding platform, has officially listed Tether Gold (XAU₮), a gold-backed stablecoin issued by Tether. This listing brings one of humanity’s most time-tested stores of value, gold, into the hands of everyday users through a tokenized, borderless, and blockchain-based experience.
With XAU₮, people around the world can own, transfer, and settle in gold without intermediaries, vaults, or borders. That’s something that could reshape how we think about savings, inflation hedging, and trustless value exchange.
Listing Tether Gold (XAU₮) on Transak is a breakthrough in financial accessibility. Users in inflation-hit or economically volatile regions can buy real gold with local payment methods like PIX or SEPA, straight from their wallets. It bridges centuries of value, gold, with modern infrastructure designed for global inclusion.
"At Transak, we’ve built the world’s most robust infrastructure for onboarding users into stablecoins, and adding Tether Gold is a natural evolution,” said Sami Start, Co-founder and CEO of Transak. “A gold-backed asset like XAU₮ expands the horizon. It offers people a path to preserve value in something time-tested, tangible, and globally trusted. We’re proud to make that accessible through Transak.”
XAU₮ is ‘Gold Without Borders’
Tether Gold is a blockchain-based stablecoin where each XAU₮ token is backed 1:1 by one troy ounce of physical gold stored in Swiss vaults. Unlike fiat currencies, which can be printed endlessly, or cryptocurrencies, which are often volatile, XAU₮ combines the durability and universality of gold with the liquidity and programmability of digital assets.
Today’s stablecoin landscape is dominated by assets pegged to fiat currencies like the US Dollar or Euro. These are convenient for remittances, peer-to-peer transfers, and digital commerce, but they remain fundamentally tied to the monetary policies of governments and central banks.
Gold-backed stablecoins like XAU₮ offer something more in line with Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision: a decentralized, scarce, and censorship-resistant asset that does not depend on the fiscal behavior of any single government. In an age of inflation, quantitative easing, and geopolitical uncertainty, such an alternative is necessary.
By pairing XAU₮’s scarcity and trust with Transak’s reach and simplicity, this listing quietly delivers the ability for anyone, anywhere, to save in gold digitally, securely, and instantly.
