Tether has launched XAUt0, a gold-backed omnichain stablecoin, on the TON blockchain to enhance DeFi utility and adoption potential.
XAUt0, built on LayerZero's OFT standard, allows seamless transfers across multiple blockchains without intermediaries, each token representing one troy ounce of physical gold stored in Swiss vaults.
The XAUt0 deployment on TON signifies a milestone in integrating real-world assets into DeFi, attracting users seeking stable, gold-backed digital assets to increase liquidity and utility in the network.
While the immediate price impact on Toncoin was muted post XAUt0 announcement, long-term outlook remains bullish with predictions of reaching $10–$11 by late 2025, driven by ecosystem growth, adoption, and Tether integration.
