Tether Gold (XAU₮) has been recognized as an Accepted Spot Commodity within ADGM, allowing firms in the international financial center to offer the token subject to their relevant regulatory permissions. Each full XAU₮ token represents one troy fine ounce of gold on a London Good Delivery bar, giving users and institutions a way to access gold with the speed and portability of blockchain technology. The recognition builds on the Financial Services Regulatory Authority's previous recognition of USD₮ as an Accepted Fiat Referenced Token and expands the range of Tether products that authorized firms in ADGM can support. It demonstrates how direct engagement between regulators and digital asset companies can help bring real-world assets on chain in a way that supports compliance, transparency, and market integrity. Demand for tokenized real-world assets continues to grow, with such assets now representing more than $31 billion in distributed asset value, up from roughly $6.6 billion a year earlier.
