By the end of September, Tether’s<\/a> reserves reached 116 tonnes of gold. This amount is comparable to the reserves of South Korea, Hungary, or Greece, according to Fortune<\/a>, citing analysts from investment bank Jefferies.<\/p>\n

Experts have identified the issuer of USDT stablecoins<\/a> as the largest holder of precious metals outside the public sector.<\/p>\n

Analysts noted that the company’s aggressive purchases may have directly influenced the recent rise in the market value of gold. In the last quarter, Tether accounted for nearly 2% of global demand, equivalent to 12% of the total purchases by all central banks.<\/p>\n

According to Jefferies, the issuer plans to acquire about 100 more tonnes of physical gold by 2025. The financial outlook supports this plan: the firm’s projected profit this year is approaching $15 billion.<\/p>\n

Experts believe the company is betting on the widespread adoption of tokenized gold. Since early August, Tether has added over 275,000 ounces of metal, worth about $1.1 billion, to back its gold stablecoin XAUT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike ETFs<\/a> or physical ownership, tokenized gold offers 24\/7 trading and no storage fees. Jefferies believes Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino views this asset as a “natural bitcoin” and a means of diversifying reserves amid U.S. dollar risks.<\/p>\n

Earlier in 2025, Tether International’s net profit exceeded $10 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
