Falcon Finance integrates Tether Gold (XAUt) to Unlock Gold-Backed DeFi Yield
|BVI, British Virgin Islands, October 27th, 2025, Chainwire
Falcon Finance, the first universal collateralization infrastructure powering onchain liquidity and yield, has integrated Tether Gold (XAUt), the largest and most liquid gold-backed token, as collateral for minting USDf. The collaboration introduces the world’s most time-tested asset into Falcon’s diversified collateral ecosystem, enabling users to gain exposure to gold’s store-of-value properties while earning sustainable, DeFi-native yield.
The introduction of XAUt marks a milestone for real-world assets (RWAs), bringing one of the world’s oldest and most trusted stores of value into Falcon’s onchain collateral ecosystem. It highlights the growing convergence of traditional finance and DeFi through tokenized assets, giving users access to yield-generating liquidity backed by tangible value.
With gold’s global market capitalization estimated at around $27 trillion and more than $3 billion already tokenized onchain, Falcon’s integration of XAUt will unlock new ways in which the precious metal can be utilized. The move extends the utility of tokenized gold while enhancing portfolio diversification and enabling users to use the world’s most precious store of value as stablecoin collateral.
Andrei Grachev, Founding Partner at Falcon Finance, said: “Integrating Tether Gold as collateral represents a key step in our roadmap to expand USDf’s adoption and bridge the gap between traditional assets and onchain liquidity. Gold has always been a cornerstone of global finance, and bringing it onchain through XAUt aligns with our mission to create universal, yield-generating infrastructure for all forms of value.”
By transforming physical gold into a tokenized equivalent, Tether Gold has engineered a real-world asset that enables 24/7 trading, deep liquidity, and fractional ownership combined with secure custodianship. This enables investors to hold and trade verifiable gold in digital format and to use it as a yield-bearing asset.
Falcon Finance’s synthetic dollar, USDf, has grown to over $2.1 billion in supply, backed by more than $2.3 billion in reserves as of the latest attestation cycle. The integration of XAUt will further increase TVL while empowering more users to access sustainable yield through sUSDf. In the process, it will transform gold into productive collateral, advancing Falcon’s mission to build the infrastructure for universal asset collateralization.
