Tether, a prominent stablecoin issuer, has launched a significant initiative by partnering with Antalpha to create a $200 million Digital Asset Treasury Company (DATCO). This move aims to increase institutional access to tokenized gold through Tether Gold (XAUt) and caters to the growing demand in the $16 trillion Real World Assets (RWA) market projected for 2030. The initiative represents a major shift for Tether, moving beyond pure stablecoin solutions to embrace asset-backed offerings amid economic uncertainty. This strategic partnership with Antalpha is designed to enhance institutional access to tokenized gold, enabling greater liquidity and participation in this burgeoning market.
