Tether uses profits from his Stablecoin empire to branch, so that billions are channeled to companies that range from crypto platforms to golden royalty companies and farms.

Tether, the company behind the USDT (USDT) Stablecoin, started investing in the golden sector. According to a September 5 ft reportThe group investigates opportunities with mining, refining and royalty companies, because he wants to go beyond its core activities. The potential deals would mark a shift from simply retaining precious metal to taking shares in gold producers.
Tether already hits around $ 8 billion in gold in a safe safe in Zurich. As part of its broader strategy to bridge Crypto and Real-World assets, the company launched Tether Gold (Xaut) in January 2020 and offered tokens with 1: 1 with physical gold.
Xaut has collected a market capitalization of more than $ 876 million, supported by 7.7 tons of precious metal to support more than 259,000 tokens in circulation.

Chief Executive Paolo Ardoino has called a natural counterpart for Bitcoin and part of Tether’s strategy to connect crypto with real assets. An investment flow to mining and royalty groups could deepen that connection and could offer new financing flows to an industry that is often confronted with high financing costs.
For the gold market, the entrance to a large crypto player such as Tether can point a new question and add weight to continuous efforts to digitize the ownership of precious metal. At the same time, the conversations emphasize how tether uses profit from its stablecoin operations to broaden its reach to traditional raw materials.
