A Golden Leap: USDT0 & XAUt0 Now Live on Polygon!

on

 


In a dynamic move shaking up the blockchain space, two groundbreaking omnichain stablecoins—USDT0 and XAUt0—have expanded onto the Polygon network, injecting new life and liquidity into DeFi, payments, and real-world asset ecosystems.

What’s Happening?

  • USDT0 and XAUt0, both built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, are now deployed on the Polygon blockchain, enabling seamless cross-chain transfers without bridges or wrapping.

  • This marks Polygon’s integration with two powerful omnichain tools:

    • For XAUt0, Polygon is the third chain after TON and HyperEVM.

    • For USDT0, Polygon becomes the 11th supported chain—a testament to Tether’s push for interoperability.

So, What Exactly Are USDT0 and XAUt0?

  • USDT0 is a cross-chain version of Tether’s USDt, letting users access USD-pegged tokens across multiple networks while anchored to the core Tether system.

  • XAUt0 is the gold-backed counterpart—an omnichain evolution of Tether Gold (XAUt)—backed 1:1 by tangible gold and allowing asset movement across chains with ease.

Why Polygon? What’s the Strategy?

  • Massive reach: Polygon boasts over $1 billion in USDT liquidity and more than 6 million wallets, making it a major hub for stablecoin utility.

  • Infrastructure ready for scalability: Features like AggLayer and the Bhilai hard fork have positioned Polygon as ideal for omnichain liquidity—especially asset-backed ones.

  • Streamlined migration: Existing USDT on Polygon (PoS USDT) will simply convert into USDT0—no address changes. Polygon becomes part of the expansive USDT0 network.

  • DeFi and RWA boosted: With gold liquidity now native on Polygon, developers gain fresh tools for asset-backed lending, hedging, and more.

What This Means for You

  • Greater interoperability, faster transfers, and fewer technical hurdles—without the fuss of bridges or wrappers.

  • Gold gets digital and liquid: XAUt0 now brings the stability of physical gold directly into DeFi and payments on Polygon.

  • DeFi and Real-World Assets (RWA) stand to benefit from composable, secure, and unified liquidity rails.

  • Mainstream adoption: With Polygon's massive ecosystem, usage of these tokens may well enter the mainstream.

In Summary

Tether’s omnichain tokens USDT0 and XAUt0 have officially landed on Polygon—expanding its interoperability reach and infusing fresh gold-backed liquidity into one of the largest DeFi and enterprise networks. This launch not only simplifies cross-chain stablecoin use but also bridges traditional value (like gold) with the future of programmable finance.
