Group 1 - Tether is expanding into traditional safe-haven assets, specifically gold, by collaborating with Antalpha to raise at least $200 million for a publicly traded investment tool backed by physical gold [1] - The partnership between Tether and Antalpha is deepening, having previously collaborated on the Tether Gold (XAUt) project, which has a current market value of $1.5 billion [2] - Tether's XAUt market value has doubled this year, driven by a 46% increase in gold demand due to geopolitical uncertainties and inflation concerns [3] Group 2 - The collaboration aims to create a complete ecosystem around "digital gold," with Antalpha providing collateralized lending services and establishing physical vaults for gold bar exchanges [2] - The trend of "digital asset treasury" (DATs) is emerging, with over 80 such companies formed this year, as firms seek to emulate MicroStrategy's strategy of holding significant amounts of Bitcoin [3] - Despite the potential, the DAT model has faced challenges, with many companies experiencing significant stock price declines due to weakening institutional investor demand [3]
