Strategically Allocated Gold RWA (XAU₮)
Antalpha plans to allocate up to ₮40 million equivalent of Tether Gold (XAU₮) at market price in phases from now until June 30, 2026. The company regards this round of allocation as a long-term strategy to hedge macroeconomic fluctuations, and also hopes to further enrich the collateral structure of the platform by introducing assets with stable value anchoring, so as to provide stable financing channels for institutional customers in an uncertain market environment.

In the future, XAU₮ will become the cornerstone collateral asset in Antalpha's lending structure, enabling the Prime platform to expand its financing business while improving its robustness and resilience to risks.
XAU₮'s product integration program
,Antalpha, plans to purchase XAU₮ and pledge it as a digital asset to support the funding and ongoing operations of the company's lending business. In line with this strategy, Antalpha's risk control and product teams are working together to upgrade a number of features of the Antalpha Prime platform, focusing on the optimization of multi-party secure computing (MPC) capabilities and account management functions.
In addition, Antalpha also plans to launch near-real-time market information of XAU₮ and its corresponding physical gold holdings on its official website, providing near-real-time XAU₮ market data, further enhancing asset transparency and enhancing customer trust.
