The new synthetic dollar is the first step in the rollout of a real-world asset tokenization platform, said Tether.
Tether is introducing a gold-backed stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. It is the first tethered asset, the issuer declared. The new coin is called Alloy (aUSDT) and is mintable on the new Alloy by Tether platform.
According to the company, Alloy will be overcollateralized by Tether Gold (XAUt) — a token that provides ownership of physical gold — but pegged to the U.S. dollar. By definition, the new token is a synthetic dollar, which is designed to mimic the value and functionality of the U.S. dollar without being directly backed by it.
Alloy explained in an X post that tethered assets are “digital assets that aim to track the reference price of another asset through different stabilisation mechanisms.” Further, it said:
The Open Network users will be able to use Oobit’s Tap & Pay technology to pay merchants in fiat while spending USDT.
Transactions with Tether’s USDT and XAUt on The Open Network (TON) will be streamlined thanks to the incorporation of the Oobit mobile payment app, giving merchants a more convenient user experience.
Tether (USDT) and Tether Gold (XAUt) launched on TON in April. XAUt is pegged to the price of one fine troy ounce of gold. More than $200 million in USDT has been issued on TON, and users can send USDT in Telegram messages. Telegram has over 900 million users worldwide. TON also issues its own native Toncoin (TON) on the TON network.
In addition to TON, USDT is issued on 14 other blockchains, including Tron and Ethereum. It also joined the Celo network in March.
