Bitget Wallet Integration Strengthens Tether Gold’s Position in Tokenized Bullion Market

New updates have been reported about Tether (PC:TETHE)

Tether is extending the reach and liquidity of its Tether Gold (XAU₮) product through a new integration with Bitget Wallet, a large self-custodial crypto app, at a time when tokenized gold demand is rising alongside record bullion prices above $4,000 per ounce. XAU₮, which already accounts for roughly half of the global tokenized gold market with a market cap of about $2.2 billion as of December 2025, will now be accessible to Bitget Wallet’s reported tens of millions of users, enabling onchain ownership and transfer of gold that meets London Good Delivery standards and is fully allocated, uniquely identifiable, and redeemable for physical bullion. This integration expands XAU₮’s distribution footprint into an ecosystem that also supports over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs, and related perpetual products, positioning Tether to capture incremental flows from investors seeking both traditional and crypto-native exposures within a single self-custodial interface.

Strategically, the move deepens Tether’s presence in the growing real‑world asset (RWA) segment, where tokenized commodities and securities are gaining traction as a bridge between traditional markets and blockchain infrastructure. Bitget Wallet is also supporting XAU₮ perpetual futures with up to 50× leverage, extending Tether Gold’s role beyond a spot store-of-value product into derivatives-based strategies that can drive higher trading volume and fee-generating activity around the asset. To stimulate initial adoption, Bitget Wallet and Tether are launching a limited‑time promotional campaign funded with $20,000 in USDT rewards for users who hold or trade XAU₮ during the period, which could accelerate user acquisition and onchain liquidity for Tether’s gold product. For Tether, the combination of macro uncertainty, renewed interest in gold, and expanded onchain access via a major wallet platform supports the strategic case for XAU₮ as a complementary pillar alongside its stablecoin offerings and reinforces its positioning as a key issuer at the intersection of RWAs and digital assets.
