Tether’s Gold Accumulation Drives Bullish Momentum in Precious Metals Market
Tether has emerged as a dominant force in the Gold market, with holdings reaching 116 metric tons by Q3 2025—a position that rivals some national central banks. Jefferies analysts identify these purchases as a primary catalyst for gold's 60% annual appreciation.
The stablecoin issuer's physical bullion strategy extends beyond reserves. Its XAUt token, backed by 12 tons of gold, represents a $1.5 billion bridge between digital assets and commodity markets. Another 100 tons are slated for acquisition in 2025.
Vertical integration continues through $300 million in strategic investments across gold royalty firms. This multi-pronged approach demonstrates how crypto-native entities are reshaping traditional commodity markets through blockchain innovation.
