Learn About Tether Gold
Tether Gold Isn't What You Think It Is
Tether Gold (XAUT) is the native gold-backed token issued by TG Commodities (Tether's gold subsidiary), with each token representing one troy ounce of physical London Good Delivery gold bullion stored in Swiss vaults, deployed as an ERC-20 and TRC-20 on Ethereum and TRON. XAUT market capitalization crossed $3.3 billion in Q1 2026 backed by 707,747 troy ounces, up 36% quarter-over-quarter from 520,089 ounces at the end of 2025. The token controls over half of the tokenized gold market with PAX Gold as its nearest competitor at $2.2 billion. XAUT trades around $4,670 per token, tracking spot gold rather than maintaining a dollar peg. Tether's total physical gold holdings including USDT reserves reached approximately $20 billion at quarter-end.
Mia HallandMay 11, 2026Same Genesis Block Opposite Philosophies ETHW vs ETH
EthereumPoW (ETHW) is the proof-of-work fork of Ethereum that emerged when the parent chain moved to proof-of-stake at The Merge in September 2022. ETHW trades near $0.33 in late April 2026 with a market cap around $34M to $35M, ranking #606 on Bybit and #640 on CoinGecko. The token sits roughly 99.8% below its $141.36 all-time high set right after the September 2022 fork. Network fundamentals favor Ethereum overwhelmingly: ETH holds about $48 billion in TVL with over 8,400 validators, while ETHW operates with just 12 nodes and TVL under $1 million. ETHW developer activity dropped 83% year-over-year, and the ETHW Core team shuttered operations leaving maintenance to volunteers. Bitfinex delisted ETHW July 16, 2025 and OKX removed all ETHW pairs December 29, 2025. Bitwise's ETHW ETF saw $18M inflows January 3, 2026 followed by $11.2M redemptions five days later. The thesis: ETHW exists as an archive fork, but the market chose Ethereum's roadmap.
