Tether’s XAUT Shows Blockchain Efficiency
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, revealed that in the past six months, 94 tonnes of tokenized gold (XAUT) were transferred instantly on-chain, with a total transaction cost of just 0.0016%.
This highlights the key advantage of tokenized real-world assets:
Fast settlement compared to physical gold transport
Minimal fees versus logistics and security costs
Institutional-grade blockchain efficiency
While this doesn’t affect gold prices directly, it shows how blockchain can streamline large-scale asset movement and reduce operational costs for institutions.
Takeaway: Tokenized assets are maturing enabling secure, cheap, and instant transfers at scale.
