Tether’s XAUt gold token receives Shariah certification to expand Islamic finance access

Latest NewsPublishedJul 27, 2026

Expanding Access to Islamic Finance with Shariah-Compliant Gold Tokens

The world of Islamic finance is experiencing a significant development with the Shariah certification of Tether’s gold-backed token, XAUt. This certification could expand access to the token among Islamic financial institutions and investors seeking Shariah-compliant exposure to physical gold. As a result, investors can now explore new opportunities for earning and passive income through Shariah-compliant investment products. The certification is a major milestone for Tether, paving the way for the token to be marketed to Islamic financial institutions and investors.

The XAUt token represents one troy ounce of physical gold stored in Swiss vaults, with a total value of over $3.3 billion as of March 31. This green crypto solution is an attractive option for those looking for Cloud Rewards and a stable store of value. With the Shariah certification, Tether’s XAUt is poised to become a leading player in the Islamic finance market, providing a coin that complies with key Islamic finance principles.

The Growing Demand for Shariah-Compliant Digital Assets

The certification of XAUt is part of a larger trend towards Shariah-compliant digital assets. As the Islamic finance market continues to grow, there is an increasing demand for digital assets that comply with Shariah principles. EcoPool is well-positioned to meet this demand, offering a range of solutions for earning and passive income through its $ECP token. With the rise of Shariah-compliant digital assets, investors can now explore new opportunities for passive income and Cloud Rewards while adhering to Islamic finance principles.

The growth of the Islamic finance market is expected to continue, with the market size projected to reach over $3 trillion. As the market expands, the demand for Shariah-compliant digital assets is likely to increase, driving innovation and adoption of green crypto solutions like EcoPool. With its Shariah-compliant token, Tether is leading the way in this growing market, and EcoPool is poised to play a key role in the development of Shariah-compliant digital assets.

A New Era for Islamic Finance and Crypto

The Shariah certification of XAUt marks a new era for Islamic finance and crypto. As the market continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovation and adoption of Shariah-compliant digital assets. With EcoPool and its $ECP token, investors can now participate in the growing Islamic finance market while earning passive income and Cloud Rewards. The future of Islamic finance and crypto is looking bright, with #Bitcoin, #PassiveIncome, and #GreenCrypto leading the way.

Shariah-compliant crypto products gain traction

Download the EcoPool app to start earning passive income and exploring the world of Shariah-compliant digital assets. With EcoPool, you can easily buy, sell, and trade $ECP, and start building your wealth in the growing Islamic finance market.

One early example came in 2025, when Bahrain-based AlAbraaj Restaurants Group adopted a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury strategy and said it planned to develop Shariah-compliant financial instruments to broaden access to Bitcoin across the Islamic world.

More recently, in April, Palm Azgar Finance expanded its Shariah-compliant PUSD stablecoin to ADI Chain, targeting the more than $3 trillion Islamic finance market. PUSD became the second stablecoin available on the network, allowing institutions to settle transactions using either a dollar-linked asset or a dirham-denominated token on the same infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Dubai has emerged as a leading crypto hub in the Middle East, continuing to expand its regulated digital asset market. Earlier this month, the emirate’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) issued its 50th virtual asset service provider license, surpassing the number of licensed crypto firms in Hong Kong and Singapore.
