Updated: Jan 01 2026- Listing Rumor: BlockBeats reported that Bithumb plans to list Tether Gold (XAUT) trading pair with the KRW on January 1, 2026, although no official confirmation has been received, which could potentially influence market dynamics.
- Market Liquidity: According to CoinMarketCap, Tether Gold is currently priced at $4,335.03 with a market cap of $1.77 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $148.26 million, reflecting a 27.45% decline, indicating market uncertainty despite interest in the asset.
- Regulatory Environment: The Coincu Research team emphasizes that regulatory clarity in South Korea is essential for listings like XAUT/KRW, and while the potential listing could shift market dynamics, it remains speculative without transparency from involved parties.
- Lack of Confirmation: No comments have been made by Bithumb or Tether executives regarding this rumor, and the absence of reactions from key industry figures and regulators keeps this news in the speculative realm, urging market participants to exercise caution.
