Ledn Adds Tether Gold as Collateral to Expand Borrowing Options

On June 18 Ledn integrated Tether Gold (XAUT) as loan collateral, enabling holders to borrow USDT or USAt against tokenized gold without monthly payments in most jurisdictions. The move follows Bybit’s June 16 launch of a dedicated USDT-settled XAUT options market supported by Orbit Markets liquidity. Together the developments increase utility for the $2.5 billion Tether Gold stack while Tether holds roughly $23 billion in physical bullion. Tokenized commodities now represent nearly 17% of the $43 billion tokenized-asset market. Rollout excludes Canada and the EU.
