🟡 Tether and Ledn Turn Tokenized Gold Into Collateral: XAUT Gets Real Lending Utility Tether and Ledn are expanding the utility of Tether Gold (XAUT): holders of tokenized gold will be able to borrow against their XAUT without selling the underlying asset. According to CoinDesk, Crypto Briefing and Ledn, XAUT support is already live on the platform, while gold-backed loans are expected later in 2026. The idea is straightforward: if an investor holds gold as a long-term store of value, they no longer need to sell the position to access liquidity. Instead, XAUT can be used as collateral for stablecoin loans. This brings a familiar TradFi model — borrowing against gold — into crypto lending and the RWA sector. But the risks remain: collateralized loans carry liquidation risk, LTV and rate details are not fully public yet, and Ledn counterparty risk still matters. XAUT is becoming more than a “gold token” — it is gaining an active financial function.
