News Brief
Tether Gold has launched Scudo, a new on‑chain denomination where 1 Scudo = 1/1000 of XAU₮, making tokenized gold more divisible, accessible, and easier to use for everyday transactions.
Summary
Tether Gold has launched Scudo, a new on‑chain denomination where 1 Scudo = 1/1000 of XAU₮, making tokenized gold more divisible, accessible, and easier to use for everyday transactions.
What Is Scudo?
- Unit: Scudo
- Peg: 1 Scudo = 0.001 XAU₮
- Underlying asset: Fully backed Tether Gold (XAU₮), which represents physical gold
- Purpose: Improve usability and precision for smaller transactions
Scudo functions as a sub‑unit of XAU₮, similar to how satoshis relate to Bitcoin.
Why This Matters
- Better divisibility: Enables micro‑transactions and precise pricing in gold
- Improved UX: Easier mental accounting than dealing with long decimals
- Broader adoption: Lowers the barrier for users and apps integrating gold‑backed tokens
- On‑chain settlement: Combines gold’s stability with blockchain efficiency
Broader Implications
- Reinforces gold’s role as a digital, programmable asset
- Makes tokenized commodities more competitive with stablecoins for payments and savings
- Signals growing maturity in real‑world asset (RWA) tokenization
Bottom Line
By introducing Scudo, Tether Gold is making on‑chain gold more practical and transactional, not just a store of value. Smaller units unlock new use cases—and move tokenized gold closer to everyday financial activity.

The Federal Reserve kept the federal funds target range at 3.50%–3.75%, but several participants supported a 25-basis-point increase and many indicated that additional policy tightening could become appropriate if inflation failed to move lower
