- Gold has historically been trusted as money and is now entering the stablecoin race.
- Tether launched Alloy (aUSD₮), backed by Tether Gold (XAU₮) — a digital claim to physical gold.
- Keiser believes nations like Russia, China, and Iran won’t accept USD-backed tokens.
- These countries are more likely to use gold-backed stablecoins to bypass US financial control.
- Countries adversarial to the US may reject dollar-based systems and opt for gold reserves (Russia + China reportedly hold ~50,000 tonnes).
- This could disrupt US stablecoin strategy and dollar hegemony in global finance.
- XAU₮ has gained 15.7% YTD, outperforming much of the crypto market. Gabor Gurbacs says Tether Gold reflects what the US dollar was pre-1971 — backed by real assets.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Fed Governor Christopher Waller both support stablecoins to preserve USD dominance.
- The White House is prioritizing a regulatory framework for dollar-backed tokens via the Stable Act of 2025 and GENIUS bill.
