Bitcoin. Gold. The Stablecoins the world runs on. Built on eight years of trust.

Real wealth is built on hard assets. Bitcoin is the most powerful version of that idea our generation has produced. 

Gold, a $20 trillion asset class, has been the answer for millennia. Tether Gold (XAU₮) is revolutionizing this by tokenizing gold—making ownership more divisible, mobile, and verifiably scarce. But for many, the 'digital plumbing' to use alongside bitcoin—as a seamless tool for liquidity and lending—has remained fragmented.

Today, that changes.

The standard that built Ledn is now applied to gold. Backed by an eight-year perfect track record of protecting client assets since 2018, we are uniting these premier stores of value, bitcoin and gold (XAU₮), with the stablecoins the world runs on, including expanded support for USD₮ and USA₮.

We are providing the working capital and digital dollar tools you need to manage your wealth without ever having to sell it.

Now live on Ledn: 

• Hold for the long-term:  Bitcoin and XAU₮ in your Ledn Transaction Accounts.
• Total Portfolio Control: Trade across more integrated pairs, including BTC, USD₮, USA₮ and XAU₮
• Flexible Loan Rails: Receive and repay loans in USD₮ or USA₮

And, later this year, you will be able to borrow against XAU₮ the same way you do against bitcoin.

Introducing XAU₮

XAU₮ brings physical gold into the same digital form factor as bitcoin. Each token represents one fine Troy ounce of physical gold held in Swiss vaults. It is divisible, transferable in seconds, and custodied with the rigor our clients expect. These assets are verifiably scarce, non-sovereign, and built to protect long-term purchasing power.

“As digital assets become an increasingly important part of the global economy, demand is growing for solutions that combine long-term ownership with financial flexibility. The addition of XAU₮, USD₮, and USA₮ expands those opportunities and reflects the growing role of digital assets in modern financial markets," said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.

Available to Ledn Clients Today

Borrow with flexibility

Loans can now be disbursed and repaid in USD₮ and USA₮. We have added full support for these assets as functional rails for your wealth management, removing the friction of third-party swaps. Same loan product. Same custody model. More choice in how you move digital dollars in and out.

Trade across more pairs

‍Swap instantly between bitcoin, XAU₮, USD₮, and USA₮ with transparent, best-in-class spreads. One platform. Total control over your portfolio.

Hold for the long term

‍Bitcoin and XAU₮ are both available in your Ledn Transaction Account. Every asset is protected by the operational discipline that has secured over $10B in client value across every market cycle since 2018.

Same uncompromising safety

‍Your Transaction Account and loan collateral assets are never lent out for interest, never used to generate yield, and never put at risk to fund the business.

Coming Soon to Ledn

Later this year, XAU₮-backed loans will go live. You will be able to unlock liquidity from your Tether Gold the same way you already do from your bitcoin.

Tether Gold-backed loans will follow the same operating model as our bitcoin-backed loans, including loan collateral never being lent out for interest and following the same custody standards as we apply today to bitcoin.

New assets. Same discipline.

By expanding our mission to include Tether Gold and new stablecoin rails, we are giving you more control over how you manage and build your wealth on Ledn. This is the same disciplined direction we’ve always taken, now applied to Tether Gold, USD₮ and USA₮ to better serve your financial goals.

• Investment Grade Standards: The discipline that earned a BBB- investment-grade rating from S&P Global on our ABS drives the same principles that we use to safeguard all client assets, including XAU₮, USD₮, and USA₮.
• Proven Risk Management: The risk-management framework that delivered a perfect track record of protecting client assets through every market cycle since 2018, including the failures of 2022, is the same framework governing every new product on the platform.
• Strict Selectivity: Our focus remains unwavering. We only add assets that meet our rigorous standards for utility, scarcity, and risk management. XAU₮, USD₮, and USA₮ cleared that bar; most assets won’t.

The same mission.

Ledn was built to help clients access financial services on Bitcoin; a self-sovereign, global, digital asset. Stablecoins put U.S. dollars on those same rails. And now, through XAU₮, gold is there too.

The world’s oldest hard asset, on the world’s newest financial structure. One platform. Same discipline.

Global Availability

We are rolling these new features out starting today. As product availability varies by region, the best way to see exactly what is accessible to you is to look at our product availability page or log in and check your Ledn account.

While these products are launching across most jurisdictions where Ledn operates, please note that they are currently unavailable in Canada and the EU. Additionally, clients in Australia will have availability for loan support using USD₮, but trading is not supported at this time. 

We are working hard behind the scenes to bring these new products to as many places as possible. Stay tuned!
