Tether выпустила новую единицу учета для Tether Gold (XAU₮) — «Scudo»

ChainCatcher News: According to an official blog post, stablecoin issuer Tether announced the launch of Scudo, a new accounting unit for tokenized gold product Tether Gold (XAU₮), designed to make gold an accessible payment method for everyone.

Tether defines one Scudo as one-thousandth of a troy ounce of gold (or one-thousandth of XAU₮), enabling Tether Gold to achieve clearer price marking, more convenient transfers, and more intuitive gold value utilization. Users no longer need to send or price assets in complex decimal fractions of XAU₮, but can instead trade in whole Scudo units or fractional Scudo units. This not only makes gold more practical as a store of value, but also makes it more convenient as a medium of exchange.

Tether Gold remains fully backed by physical gold stored in secure vaults, with ownership verifiable on-chain through Tether’s asset tracking tools. Scudo does not alter the structure or backing basis of XAU₮, but rather provides a simpler way to measure and trade gold value, especially against the backdrop of continuously rising prices.
