Tether Gold Surges to Become Biggest Token of Amid Volatile Markets

The gold-backed stablecoin surpasses Pax GOLD in market cap 

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, March 4, 2020, 9:00 AM UTC  – Tether Gold (XAU₮), a digital asset providing exposure to physical gold (XAU), has had a huge uptake in demand to become the biggest gold-backed token amid turbulent global financial markets.

XAU₮, which now has a market capitalization of more than $21 million, has surpassed its nearest rival PAX Gold, providing investors with the easiest way to own and trade the highest-quality physical gold within a growing digital asset ecosystem.

“Tether Gold has had a really great start,” said Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Tether. “But I believe that this is nothing in comparison to the potential of this new asset, especially in the context of increased investor interest in risk diversification and capital safety against political uncertainty. Tether Gold offers diversification in terms of risk and volatility and I expect it to reach a market capitalization of at least $100 million.”

Earlier this week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged more than 1,200 points, or 5 percent, on hopes that central banks will take action to shelter the global economy from the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, the spot price of gold has increased about 24 percent over the past year to $1,603 an ounce, amid increasing investor interest in owning the asset.
