June 9 – Today marks the launch of the first enterprise-level consumer application product built on XAUE: the XAUE Gold Gift Card. Built on Tether Gold (XAU?) and its yield-bearing layer, XAUE (XAU-Earn), the product overcomes key drawbacks of physical gold—such as inconvenient storage and high transaction costs—while offering two standout perks: interest earnings and the ability to redeem for physical gold. Per details, holders of XAUE earn an estimated annualized return of 1.5% to 3% during the holding period before converting to physical gold. The redemption service for XAU? and XAUE-backed physical gold is scheduled to launch in July 2026.

It aims to drive the adoption of tokenized gold into real-world business and daily life. Starting today, visit the official website to explo
