Why Does Tether Hold Gold?

[cryptoenthusiast]

Tether holds over 116 tons of physical gold, making it one of the largest holders outside central banks. Gold acts as a stable, tangible reserve to back its USDT and XAUt tokens. By diversifying beyond cash and Treasuries, Tether reduces risk and enhances investor confidence, especially during market volatility.
