Tether 推出名為 Alloy (XAU₮) 的新數位資產，引起轟動

與與美元掛鉤的 USDT 不同，Alloy by Tether 以儲存在瑞士的實體黃金作為支撐。

Tether, the company behind the world's leading stablecoin USDT, is making a splash again with the launch of a new digital asset called Alloy by Tether (XAU₮).

全球領先的穩定幣 USDT 背後的公司 Tether 推出了一種名為 Alloy by Tether (XAU₮) 的新數位資產，再次引起轟動。

Unlike USDT, which is pegged to the US dollar, Alloy by Tether is backed by physical gold (.9995 fine) stored in Switzerland.

與與美元掛鉤的 USDT 不同，Alloy by Tether 以儲存在瑞士的實體黃金（0.9995 美元）為支撐。

According to an announcement on Monday, Tether will also create aUSD₮ tokens by depositing Tether Gold (XAU₮) as collateral.

根據週一的公告，Tether 還將透過存入 Tether Gold (XAU₮) 作為抵押品來創建 aUSD₮ 代幣。

aUSD₮ is a digital currency designed to track the value of 1 US dollar. This means that the value of aUSD₮ will fluctuate in line with the price of gold.

aUSD₮是一種數位貨幣，旨在追蹤1美元的價值。這意味著 aUSD₮ 的價值將隨黃金價格波動。

“While the stabilization mechanism is different compared to traditional options like USD₮, this innovative solution marks an exciting milestone, and we eagerly anticipate how it will interact with the rest of the market. Moreover, we plan to make this innovative technology available in our upcoming digital asset tokenization platform as well,” Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, said.

「雖然穩定機制與美元₮等傳統選擇權不同，但這項創新解決方案標誌著一個令人興奮的里程碑，我們熱切地期待它將如何與市場其他部分互動。此外，我們還計劃在我們即將推出的數位資產代幣化平台中使用這項創新技術。

Moon Gold NA, S.A. de C.V., and Moon Gold El Salvador, S.A. de C.V., both authorized by the CNAD in El Salvador, will handle the issuance and management of Alloy by Tether, catering to different customer segments and regulatory requirements, the announcement said.

公告稱，薩爾瓦多CNAD授權的Moon Gold NA, SA de CV和Moon Gold El Salvador, SA de CV將負責Tether Alloy的發行和管理，以滿足不同的客戶群和監管要求。

Both companies are fully owned subsidiaries of Moon Technologies El Salvador, S.A. de C.V., which is in turn a fully owned subsidiary of Tether.

兩家公司都是 Moon Technologies El Salvador, SA de CV 的全資子公司，而後者又是 Tether 的全資子公司。

Alloy by Tether will be available to customers in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Montserrat, Anguilla, Turks and Caicos Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and US Virgin Islands.

Alloy by Tether 將向薩爾瓦多、瓜地馬拉、宏都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、哥斯大黎加、巴拿馬、多明尼加共和國、牙買加、特立尼達和多巴哥、巴貝多、聖露西亞、聖文森和格林納丁斯、格瑞那達、安提瓜和巴布達、多明尼加的客戶提供服務、蒙特塞拉特、安圭拉、特克斯和凱科斯群島、開曼群島、英屬維京群島和美屬維京群島。

Stablecoins: A Booming Industry

穩定幣：蓬勃發展的產業

Stablecoins are digital tokens pegged to the value of a real-world asset, most commonly fiat currencies like the US dollar. They have become a crucial part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, facilitating transactions and offering a stable alternative to volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

穩定幣是與現實世界資產價值掛鉤的數位代幣，最常見的是美元等法定貨幣。它們已成為加密貨幣生態系統的重要組成部分，促進交易並為比特幣等不穩定的加密貨幣提供穩定的替代品。

The stablecoin market is massive, currently boasting over $160 billion in circulation. This represents a tiny fraction (around 0.8%) of all US dollars in circulation, but the growth trajectory is undeniable. Stablecoin transactions now handle more than $3 trillion in monthly volume, dwarfing even giants like Visa's $1.2 trillion monthly processing.

穩定幣市場規模龐大，目前流通量超過 1,600 億美元。這僅佔流通中美元的一小部分（約 0.8%），但成長軌跡是不可否認的。目前，穩定幣交易量每月處理量超過 3 兆美元，甚至令 Visa 等巨頭的每月處理量 1.2 兆美元相形見絀。

Tether's Gold-Backed Gamble

Tether 的黃金支持賭博

Tether's launch of XAU₮ signifies a potential new direction for stablecoins. By backing a digital asset with a traditional safe-haven asset like gold, Tether is offering investors exposure to gold's price stability within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Tether 推出 XAU₮ 標誌著穩定幣潛在的新方向。透過以黃金等傳統避險資產支持數位資產，Tether 為投資者提供了加密貨幣生態系統中黃金價格穩定性的機會。

Moreover, Tether's plan to create aUSD₮ tokens, which will be pegged to the price of gold, could introduce a new stablecoin variant that tracks the value of gold indirectly.

此外，Tether 計劃創建與黃金價格掛鉤的 aUSD₮ 代幣，可能會引入一種新的穩定幣變體，間接追蹤黃金的價值。
