Tether has rolled out Scudo, a fresh unit of account tied to its gold-backed XAUT token. The mechanism works by representing 1/1000 of a troy ounce, offering a more granular pricing structure as institutional players pile into commodity-linked digital assets. The timing aligns with gold prices pushing past the $4,500 mark, signaling sustained appetite from major market participants seeking stability and real-world asset exposure through tokenized solutions.
