Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has engaged in discussions regarding investments in gold mining, according to Financial Times<\/a>, citing its own sources.<\/p>\n

The company has explored investments across the entire precious metal supply chain, including mining, processing, trading, and royalties, with mining and investment groups.<\/p>\n

Tether’s interest has been met with surprise and skepticism in the traditionally conservative gold mining sector.<\/p>\n

\n

“They like gold. I don’t think they have a strategy,” one mining industry executive told the publication.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sources revealed that Tether also held talks with the investment firm Terranova Resources, but these did not result in a deal.<\/p>\n

\n

“This is the strangest firm I have ever dealt with,” remarked another representative from the commodities sector.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In June, a company affiliated with Tether, Tether Investments, acquired<\/a> a 31.9% stake in the gold mining company Elemental Altus Royalties.<\/p>\n

In July, Bloomberg reported<\/a> that Tether holds $8 billion worth of gold in its own vault in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

That same month, the issuer released<\/a> a report indicating that nearly 250,000 “gold” stablecoins (XAUT) were in circulation by the end of the second quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
