Tether’s Gold-Backed Stablecoin, a company that issues stablecoins, introduced its gold-backed stablecoin Alloy (USD) on Monday, June 17. Alloy is a synthetic dollar overcollateralized by Tether Gold (XAUt). The launch of this product is part of Tether’s effort to increase its presence in the stablecoin sector, which is experiencing tremendous growth. Willy Woo, a well-known analyst, remarked that this is an outstanding commercial strategy that Tether has developed.
Willy Woo Reveals Tether’s Stablecoin Strategy
Tether’s unique decision to introduce a gold-collateralized stablecoin has been praised by Willy Woo, as previously mentioned. Woo referred to this method as “genius,” he emphasized that in contrast to USDT, which receives yields from Treasury bills, the new gold-backed stablecoin aUSDT will create returns from gold, with average gains of 8%. This contrasts the yields obtained from Treasury bills, which range from 0% to 5%.
Furthermore, Woo hypothesized that since Tether is already constructing a significant Bitcoin Treasury, the company would consider later establishing a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin USD. Woo recognized that such a move would not make sense in the present bear market because of the volatility of the price of Bitcoin. On the other hand, he believes it would be more feasible after Bitcoin became a widely accepted asset class among institutions and became substantially more stable.
Woo contrasted Tether’s strategy with the Terra/LUNA model, which was unsuccessful because it backed a stablecoin with a volatile asset. This was done while Woo was addressing concerns surrounding certain potential dangers. Because of its vast annual income of $5.5 billion, it is time to amass more gold. The analyst predicted that Tether would experience a decline comparable to that of other cryptocurrencies.
