How to Buy XAUt (Tether Gold) on Ledn

Eligible Ledn clients can hold Tether Gold (XAUt) in a Transaction Account and trade supported Bitcoin or stablecoin balances for it. Ledn does not currently support buying XAUt directly with fiat, so users starting with conventional currency need to acquire a supported asset first.

This guide explains the current process, trading cost, custody and withdrawal considerations.

Open a Ledn account to check your eligibility. Product availability varies by jurisdiction.

XAUt is issued by TG Commodities, S.A. de C.V., not Ledn. It involves gold-price, issuer, custody, blockchain, liquidity and redemption risks. A trade may also have tax consequences.

What you need before you start

To trade for XAUt on Ledn, you need:

• a verified Ledn account;
• access to Ledn Trade in your jurisdiction;
• BTC, USDC, USDT or USAT in your Transaction Account;
• enough value to meet the current minimum trade size;
• multi-factor authentication configured for account actions.

Account verification involves identity and compliance checks. Requirements and processing time vary according to the applicant and jurisdiction.

How to buy XAUt on Ledn

1. Create and verify your account

Create a Ledn account and complete the identity-verification steps shown in the platform. Approval is not guaranteed, and Ledn may request additional information.

2. Fund your Transaction Account

Deposit BTC, USDC, USDT or USAT using the unique address and supported network shown in your Ledn account.

If you are starting with fiat currency, Ledn does not currently sell XAUt directly for fiat. You will generally need to acquire a supported digital asset elsewhere and deposit it. Check the asset, network and destination carefully; incompatible transfers may be unrecoverable.

3. Open Ledn Trade and select a pair

Choose an XAUt trading pair using your deposited asset. Ledn currently supports XAUt against BTC, USDC, USDT and USAT as part of ten integrated pairs.

4. Review the quote

Enter the amount you want to trade. Ledn provides a time-limited quote showing what you will spend and receive.

Ledn’s current trading page states that BTC and XAUt trades include a 0.5% all-in spread and no separate commission. Stablecoin-pair pricing differs. Trading costs and limits may change, so rely on the quote shown before confirmation.

5. Confirm the trade

Review the assets, amount and quote, then confirm using the required authentication method. Ledn states that the trade settles immediately in the Transaction Account after confirmation.

Crypto trades are generally irreversible. Check every detail before confirming.

Where is XAUt held on Ledn?

XAUt is held in a non-interest-bearing Ledn Transaction Account. Ledn says Transaction Account assets are primarily held in cold storage and are not lent out to generate interest.

Using Ledn adds platform and custody risk. The underlying physical gold is held through the arrangements established by the XAUt issuer, not by Ledn. Review both Ledn’s custody disclosures and Tether Gold’s issuer terms.

Can you withdraw XAUt from Ledn?

Eligible users can withdraw XAUt to a compatible address on the network supported by Ledn. Verify the receiving wallet and network before sending.

Ledn may apply network fees, minimums, security checks and withdrawal limits. The current help centre lists a standard minimum XAUt withdrawal of 0.002 XAUt, but the value shown inside the account is authoritative.

Withdrawing the token to a self-custody wallet gives the holder control of the relevant private keys. It does not place the underlying physical gold in the holder’s possession.

Can you redeem XAUt for physical gold?

Tether Gold provides a redemption process for verified eligible token holders, subject to its own terms, fees and minimums.

Physical redemption generally requires enough XAUt for a complete gold bar. Tether Gold advises that approximately 430 XAUt may be needed because LBMA bars vary in exact weight. Delivery is arranged to an address in Switzerland, or the issuer may attempt to sell the redeemed bars and send net US-dollar proceeds.

This is separate from withdrawing XAUt from Ledn. Contacting the issuer does not guarantee eligibility or execution. Review the current Tether Gold redemption FAQ before relying on this option.

What can you do with XAUt on Ledn?

Eligible clients can currently:

• hold XAUt in a Transaction Account;
• trade between XAUt and BTC, USDC, USDT or USAT;
• withdraw XAUt to a compatible address.

Ledn has announced XAUt-backed loans as a planned product for later in 2026. They are not currently available and remain subject to development, legal and jurisdictional considerations.

Does Ledn charge a fee to trade XAUt?

Can I buy XAUt on Ledn using dollars, pounds or euros?
