New Unit Launch: Tether introduced a new accounting unit called Scudo on Tuesday, designed to lower barriers for fractional gold ownership through blockchain technology, with each Scudo representing one-thousandth of a troy ounce of physical gold to meet rising institutional demand.
Market Capitalization: Scudo is backed by over 1,300 gold bars with a market capitalization exceeding $2.3 billion, aiming to simplify smaller on-chain transactions and enhance gold's transactability on digital infrastructure rather than serving solely as a long-term store of value.
Surge in Gold Prices: Gold prices surged approximately 65% in 2025, reaching a historic high of $4,550 per troy ounce, driven by de-dollarization efforts, aggressive central bank purchases, and persistent inflation concerns, highlighting strong investor demand for traditional safe-haven assets.
Market Response: Despite Bitcoin's weaker performance in the same year, Tether's new product Scudo reflects a rising interest in tokenized gold, with the sector's market capitalization approaching its late-2025 peak, indicating an increasing demand for on-chain exposure to safe assets.
