Tether Gold (XAU₮) is a digital token representing ownership of one troy fine ounce of physical gold, specifically linked to designated gold bars. It operates as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain and a TRC20 token on the TRON blockchain, allowing transfers to any on-chain address from a Tether wallet.

The physical gold is stored in a vault located in Switzerland, with a focus on security and anti-threat measures. Tether Gold differentiates itself by not charging custody fees, providing users with direct control over their gold holdings.

Risk Report

Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.

Bridge safety score 72 out of 100. This score suggests a moderate level of security for Tether Gold's bridge infrastructure. The market capitalization of approximately $2.79 billion contributes positively to this score, reflecting a solid standing in terms of liquidity. However, the score is somewhat impacted by one recorded incident in the past, indicating there may have been some vulnerabilities in the bridge.

With a final score of 71.53 and a BBB rating, Tether Gold shows a reasonable level of trustworthiness in the wrapped asset class. The medium confidence level indicates that while the project's fundamentals are fairly strong, there are aspects that potential investors should investigate further to feel fully comfortable.

Tether Gold maintains verified social media accounts on both Facebook and Twitter, although the follower data for these accounts is currently unavailable. This presence offers some assurance of community engagement, even if specific audience metrics can't be detailed at this time.

Investing in any cryptocurrency carries inherent risks, including market volatility and potential regulatory scrutiny. Tether Gold, while demonstrating a respectable safety score, should be approached with caution, as wrapped assets can come with unique vulnerabilities and market dynamics that investors need to understand fully before committing funds.
