đš Like sats for Bitcoinâ: Tether creates tiny gold unit as onchain demand grows! đđź
đĄ Tether has officially launched âScudo,â a new gold-based unit of account, aimed at making fractional and onchain gold ownership more accessible as global demand for gold hits record levels.
đ Key Details:
đž1 Scudo = 1/1,000 troy ounce of gold
đžFully backed by 1/1,000 of an XAUT token
đžXAUT is supported by 1,300+ physical gold bars
đžCurrent XAUT market cap ~ $2.3 billion
đŠ Why this launch matters today:
Central banks and institutional investors are accumulating gold aggressively
Retail access to gold has been limited due to storage, custody, and minimum size barriers
Scudo enables micro-sized gold exposure without physical handling
⥠Whatâs new beyond XAUT (missing point added):
Scudo improves pricing precision and liquidity for small transactions
Enables DeFi, payments, and smart-contract use cases backed by gold
Reduces friction for cross-border settlements using gold as a neutral asset
Supports the shift of gold from a passive store of value to an active digital asset
đ Strategic impact:
đžStrengthens Tetherâs position beyond stablecoins
đžBridges traditional commodities with blockchain finance
đžAligns with the growing trend of real-asset digitization
đ Noticed line:
Scudo is not just fractional gold â itâs a step toward making gold programmable, transactable, and usable in modern digital economies đđš
