Overview
A wave of reporting and social amplification is converging on Tether’s growing physical-gold holdings—where it is stored, how fast it is accumulating, and how the company frames gold’s role alongside its products. In parallel, tokenized-gold offerings are expanding as headlines track new highs in the gold price.
