Antalpha deepens cooperation with Tether: jointly building the XAU₮ digital gold ecosystem based on RWA Hub

Singapore, September 29, 2025 ------ Digital asset financial platform Antalpha (Nasdaq stock code: ANTA) today announced that it will deepen its cooperation with Tether, the world's largest digital asset company, leveraging Antalpha's newly launched platform RWA Hub to jointly build a global ecosystem for Tether Gold (XAU₮). This collaboration will introduce digital gold-related financial solutions and services aimed at institutions, highlighting the increasingly strategic value of gold in the digital asset economy.

Tether Gold (XAU₮), issued by TG Commodities, S.A. de C.V., enables the digital circulation of physical gold. Each XAU₮ token is pegged 1:1 to one troy ounce of gold that meets the London Good Delivery standard, supporting global trading and transfers on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network. Each backed gold bar comes with a unique serial number, weight, and purity certification, allowing holders to easily exchange on-chain tokens or redeem them for physical gold directly at offline vaults.

Antalpha's Chief Financial Officer Paul Liang stated, "We are very honored to partner with Tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, to expand a trusted digital gold ecosystem. When people walk into a jewelry store and can exchange Tether Gold for gold bars, digital assets will become more 'tangible' for many. We hope to launch such innovative services through Antalpha RWA Hub, continuously enhancing the liquidity and product matrix of Tether Gold."

Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino commented, "Gold has always been a globally recognized store of value, and XAU₮ brings gold's irreplaceable attributes into the digital asset space. Our collaboration with Antalpha will expand the application scenarios of XAU₮ and build a more comprehensive market infrastructure. This means that institutions and individuals can more seamlessly incorporate digital gold into their asset portfolios—whether as a hedge, a source of liquidity, a medium of exchange, or a long-term store of value."

It is reported that Antalpha began laying out XAU₮ related business earlier this year and recently launched a dedicated infrastructure service platform focused on RWA—Antalpha RWA Hub. This platform collaborates with existing networks to support custody and subscription services for XAU₮ and innovatively introduces digital gold-backed loan services, allowing clients to obtain financing by pledging XAU₮, significantly enhancing the liquidity and capital efficiency of gold assets.

To improve the global exchange system for digital gold, Antalpha RWA Hub is planning to establish physical vaults in major financial centers worldwide in collaboration with local partners, aiming to allow users to flexibly convert XAU₮ into "physical gold bars" anytime and anywhere.
