XAUT
Accept Tether Gold (XAUt) payments on your website
Add Tether Gold, a token backed by physical gold, and receive XAUt directly to a wallet you control — non-custodial, gold-denominated, with no chargebacks.
Why accept Tether Gold?
Tether Gold (XAUt) is a token where each unit represents one troy ounce of physical gold. For merchants and customers who want value tied to gold rather than a national currency or a volatile crypto, it is a way to price and settle in something with a long history as a store of value — while still moving at the speed of a blockchain.
Because Crypto IPG is non-custodial, every XAUt payment settles straight to your own wallet. There is no processor holding your gold-backed tokens — once the transfer confirms on-chain, they are yours.
