Gold Reserves for Tether Gold Rise 9.5% Amidst Gold’s Worst Quarter in 13 Years

The value of gold may have fallen 14.1% in the second quarter, its worst quarterly performance since 2013, but this did not deter investors from buying into Tether Gold (XAUt). In fact, the physical gold reserves backing XAUt increased by 9.5% during this period, reflecting growing demand for tokenized gold exposure. This rise in reserves is a testament to the growing interest in earning through gold investments. The passive income potential of tokenized gold is an attractive option for those looking to diversify their portfolios.

The increase in gold reserves is also a sign of the expanding Cloud Rewards ecosystem, where investors can earn rewards through various digital assets, including gold. With the rise of Green Crypto and sustainable investing, tokenized gold is becoming an increasingly popular choice. As Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, noted, holders of Tether Gold are using periods of market weakness to increase their ownership of physical gold through a product that is fully backed, transparent, portable, and accessible on-chain.

Tether Gold Performance and Shariah Certification

In the first quarter, the physical gold reserves backing XAUt increased by 36% to 707,747 fine troy ounces, valued at $3.3 billion. This growth is a significant indicator of the potential for earning through tokenized gold. Additionally, XAUt received Shariah certification from Amanah Advisors in July, which could expand access to the token among Islamic financial institutions. As a result, Tether Gold has become the largest distributed tokenized commodity product, with a total value of $2.4 billion.
