Tether Launches USDT0 and XAUT0 Gold Token on Solana

TLDR

• Tether’s omnichain versions USDT0 and XAUT0 are now live on Solana via Legacy Mesh, an interoperability network built on LayerZero
• USDT0 connects to over $175 billion in Tether liquidity across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Tron, and TON
• Current circulating supply shows 7.5 billion USDT0 tokens and 7,355 XAUT0 tokens, small compared to standard USDT’s 180 billion supply
• The system has processed over $25 billion in bridge volume across more than 320,000 transactions since launch
• Solana now has direct access to Tether’s stablecoin and tokenized gold without wrapped tokens or traditional bridges

Tether has expanded its presence on Solana through the launch of two omnichain tokens. USDT0 and XAUT0 are now available on the network via Legacy Mesh, an interoperability framework built using LayerZero technology.

The tokens are managed by Everdawn Labs and designed to move across blockchains while maintaining full backing. USDT0 represents an omnichain version of Tether’s dollar-backed stablecoin, while XAUT0 brings tokenized gold to the network.

USDT0 connects Solana to a broader liquidity network that includes Ethereum, Tron, TON, Polygon, Arbitrum, and OP Superchain. Lorenzo R., co-founder of USDT0, stated the system now accesses more than $175 billion worth of Tether liquidity across chains.

The current circulating supply stands at about 7.5 billion USDT0 tokens. XAUT0 has roughly 7,355 tokens in circulation. These numbers are small compared to standard USDT, which exceeds 180 billion tokens, and original XAUT with around 375,572 tokens.

Legacy Mesh operates as a stablecoin-native interoperability framework. The system links native USDT liquidity pools across networks without relying on wrapped tokens or third-party bridges. Every transfer through Legacy Mesh is backed by real assets.

Cross-Chain Infrastructure Details

The platform charges a 0.03 percent fee per transaction, paid in USDT. Since its launch, USDT0 has moved through nine different chain pathways. The system has processed more than 320,000 transactions with over $25 billion in total bridge volume.

Tamar Menteshashvili, Head of Stablecoins at the Solana Foundation, said the integration supports growth in decentralized finance, payments, and institutional-grade financial products. Practical applications could include treasury management, remittances, and collateralized lending.

Solana is the second-largest smart contract platform after Ethereum with a market capitalization of about $112.6 billion. The network has attracted attention from traditional finance for stablecoin transactions.

XAUT0 brings programmable gold features to Solana. This allows the tokenized asset to be used in lending, hedging, or as treasury collateral across decentralized protocols.

Solana’s Real-World Asset Position

Solana currently hosts about $694 million in tokenized real-world assets. This represents a small fraction of the overall RWA market. Ethereum remains the largest network for RWAs, hosting nearly $12 billion in value.

Recent protocols such as Splyce and Chintai have launched products on Solana. These allow retail investors to access tokenized securities directly on the network.

Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, stated Solana is positioned to attract Wall Street. The network could become a preferred platform for banks conducting stablecoin transactions.

The deployment gives developers native access to USDT0 and XAUT0 without fragile bridge infrastructure. Applications could include cross-border remittance tools or treasury systems using real-world value.

USDT0 and XAUT0 are not issued directly by Tether. Instead, they are part of a third-party omnichain liquidity network designed to unify existing native USDT liquidity across multiple blockchains.
