Tether Gold (XAUt0) is now available on Arbitrum, bringing the stability and trust of physical gold to one of the most high-performance Layer 2 ecosystems in the world.

Arbitrum has become a core destination for the digital economy thanks to its low fees, lightning-fast finality, and full EVM compatibility. By integrating XAUt0, Arbitrum gains access to a new class of real-world assets that deepens its DeFi stack and unlocks new opportunities for the network’s massive user base.

Arbitrum remains the leading EVM L2 across most major metrics, with the highest TVL, transaction activity, and user adoption among Ethereum scaling solutions. As a result, Arbitrum’s thriving DeFi and tokenized RWA sectors have attracted everyone from casual traders to institutional users.

On top of that, Arbitrum also plays a critical role in USDT0’s broader interoperability strategy. As a key launch partner for USDT0, Arbitrum serves as a canonical routing hub in the Legacy Mesh.

By enabling two-way liquidity between traditional USDT and USDT0, Arbitrum allows users to seamlessly move value between chains that do not yet support the omnichain OFT standard and those that do. This gives users and developers access to unified stablecoin liquidity while preserving backward compatibility for legacy ecosystems.

XAUt0 is the omnichain version of Tether Gold, offering all the benefits of the original gold-backed stablecoin with native, composable support across any chain that supports LayerZero OFT. With this deployment, users can now hold and move physically backed gold on Arbitrum with the same speed and efficiency as any digital asset.

This unlocks new design space for DeFi builders on Arbitrum. From gold-collateralized loans to hybrid vaults that combine XAUt0 and USDT0, developers can now offer products that merge the stability of hard assets with the liquidity of stablecoins. And for everyday users, XAUt0 represents an attractive hedge against inflation and a new way to grow and preserve value long-term.

Arbitrum has always been more than just a fast, low‑cost Layer 2. It has become a foundation for cross‑chain value spanning stablecoins, tokenized equity, and now gold. In short, XAUt0 adds a new kind of anchored value to Arbitrum’s vast and growing financial foundation.

Within this ecosystem, XAUt0 and USDT0 represent complementary assets that can anchor real-world value onchain. USDT0 brings unified dollar liquidity across chains, while XAUt0 introduces a non-inflationary store of value that is fully backed by gold reserves and natively composable on Arbitrum. Together, these omnichain assets expand the scope of what's possible onchain.
