Tether Gold launches on Maxbit, giving Thai investors blockchain-backed gold.
- Maxbit becomes Thailand’s first exchange offering 24/7 digital gold access.
- Tether’s XAU₮ listing meets rising demand for stable, safe assets.
In a significant development for the global digital asset industry, Tether’s gold-backed digital token, Tether Gold (XAU₮), has been listed on Maxbit, a Thailand-based digital asset exchange. Although Tether has already established its dominance in the market of stablecoins. This listing is a significant measure towards extending the scope of the tokenized and asset-backed products in South East Asia.
XAU₮ Offers Thai Investors 24/7 Access to Gold via Blockchain
Importantly, Maxbit has become the first exchange in Thailand that issues XAU₮. Further, this makes it convenient for the local investors to obtain access to gold in digital form. Every token is backed by a troy ounce of physical gold, providing the users with a stable, real option of investing. Contrary to conventional gold, XAU₮ is open for 24/7 business and works on blockchain, providing enhanced transparency, safety, and speed.
What also complements this move is Thailand’s enthusiasm to embrace digital innovation. With the evolution of the financial markets in the region, there is now a growing demand for assets resistant to inflation. XAU₮ offers a great opportunity for investors to have portfolio diversification at the same time while retaining digital flexibility.
The listing on Maxbit is said to be a major highlight by Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. He stated that Tether Gold enables the preservation of value while enjoying the efficiency offered by blockchain. The crypto space is growing further, and more investors are seeking robust and asset-based solutions, and XAU₮ is well-placed to offer these solutions.
To back up this optimism, Tether’s Q1 2025 attestation report shows that the market capitalization of XAU₮ is currently $770 million. It has full collateralization in 7.7 tons of gold, which is more than 246,000 ounces. This support makes XAU₮ one of the most credible and secure digital gold assets that is available in the market today.
Tether Gold Listing Marks Strategic Leap for Thailand Digital Finance
Recently, Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the regulated trading of Tether’s USD₮ stablecoin, as well as digital transactions in the country. This decision has made Thailand a regional leader in blockchain laws. Consequently, the financial world is also getting more appealing to businesses such as Tether to grow and increase their products.
Additionally, the government of Thailand has also been vocal about blockchain facilitating tourism as well as financial inclusion. Plans are being developed to support crypto transactions for tourists, particularly in remote areas where banking is limited. As a result, digital assets are evolving beyond just investment tools. Consequently, they are becoming integrated into everyday life.
At the same time, Pokkhet Ratchakitprakarn, CEO of Maxbit, said that the platform is thrilled to provide new instruments for investments. In addition, it provides them with real-world credentials. He revealed that XAU₮ would be interesting for those individuals who are seeking low-risk, high-stability investments.
Finally, the listing of Tether Gold on Maxbit stands for the strategic growth of both Tether and Thailand. It enhances the Tether’s international financial inclusivity provision and introduces Thai investors to trusted blockchain-enabled gold. It is the direction in which the world of digital and traditional finance is headed. Such steps mean that the future of money is already forming up with Thailand leading the way.
