Tether officially published his first certificate for Tether Gold (XAU ₮) for the first quarter of 2025. The report intervened after the product was regulated in Salvador and covered other developments of the stablecoin on gold.
According to the report published on April 28, 2025, Tether Gold (XAU ₮) retains its position of gold product for the highest market capitalization on the market.

The current market capitalization is $ 770.0 million and the high price of all time was $ 3,423 in April 21, 2025, up 9.6% compared to the end of the first quarter.
XAU ₮ has become popular due to economic uncertainty
According to the report, Tether Gold’s growth during the first quarter can be attributed to the climbing of global economic uncertainty, increased geopolitical tensions and increasing demand for inflation -resistant reserves.

The certificate gives more importance to the quantity of inventory reflected in the report than the price, which remains subject to volatility.
He also pointed out that another reason for the Gold rally in the past two years is the persistent accumulation of the Central Bank, in particular BRICS nations, which sought to reduce their dependence on the US dollar.
