From Vaults to Blockchain: Rethinking Gold Ownership
-

Gold has historically been viewed as a reliable hedge against uncertainty, but owning it directly often comes with challenges like storage, custody, and high minimum purchase sizes. Tokenized gold helped remove many of those obstacles by tying digital assets to physical bars held in secure vaults, opening the door to easier global access.
With the introduction of Scudo, that concept goes a step further by enabling smaller, more practical transactions backed by physical gold. Tether says this approach reflects a shift toward treating gold as an actively usable financial asset, rather than something that simply sits idle as long-term insurance.
