Tether Gold

Tether Gold is for people who want a crypto wrapper around a gold exposure, not a claim to the metal in their hand. By our assessment, its strongest point is that it gives the gold idea a digital, transferable form, which is useful if someone wants to move value without touching bars or coins. The trade-off is obvious: this is still a token, so the user has to trust the issuer and live with crypto plumbing, custody questions, and whatever rules govern redemption or backing. In practice it sits between bullion and a normal stablecoin, and that middle position is exactly why it is interesting and why it is awkward. It suits people already comfortable with tokenized assets, while anyone wanting plain physical gold will probably find the wrapper unnecessary.
