ZK Comment and Price Analysis July 21, 2025
ZK Current OutlookLooking at the ZK chart, we can clearly see that the short-term falling-wedge formation has been broken above well. The target of this pattern is the area of $0.074–$0.078, which intersects the long-term downtrend line and the horizontal resistance level at the same time. In other words, the price is both rising to complete the formation target and drawing close to the multiple-resistance area.For the time being, the coin is trading around the level of $0.062, and the price zone between the levels of $0.065 and $0.078 is forming a resistance corridor. The price action is likely to surge to this level due to the wedge formation, yet it is too early to expect a strong breakout before the price closes particularly above the level of $0.078, since the price got rejected from this level many times previously and it is a strong sell area which is also the upper border of the falling channel.We should be following the price holding above the level of $0.055 in the coming days because it is the previous resistance area and it can act as a retest level for the coin. Upward momentum could be predicted if the price bounces from here; otherwise, the levels of $0.051 and $0.046 should be followed as support.A middle-term rise scenario can be triggered if we see the price close above the level of $0.078 and the downtrend gets broken clearly. According to this positive scenario, the price could target the levels $0.13 and $0.19 respectively. Summary:Short-term falling wedge formation broke upwardsThis pattern’s target area is $0.074–$0.078This area also intersects with the long-term downtrend and the horizontal resistanceIt is crucial that the price holds above $0.055 for the rise to continueResistance levels up: $0.065 → $0.074 → $0.078 → $0.091Support levels below: $0.055 → $0.051 → $0.046Mid-term targets are $0.13 and $0.19 in case of a trend breakoutThese analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions. However, traders are responsible for their own actions and risk management. Moreover, it is highly recommended to use stop loss (SL) during trades.

SUI Comment and Price Analysis July 20, 2025
SUI Technical AnalysisLooking at the SUI chart on a daily timeframe, we see that the price is trading within a wide-angle ascending channel. Currently, SUI is very close to the mid-border of this rising channel, suggesting a short-term accumulation.It is clear on the chart that the price jumped sharply after the breakout of the falling trend in the short term. In other words, accumulation around the level of $2.70 resulted in an upward breakout, after which the price surged to the level of $4.30. We must add that this level worked as a strong resistance in the past. If the price can break above this strong resistance level, then it is highly possible that we should see a climb to the price range of $4.98–$5.11. However, we should bear in mind that the price must hold above $3.60 for such a rise, as this level is a previous resistance and a key level on the daily chart. We should be following the support levels of $3.22 and then $2.95 in case of a pullback. On the other hand, SUI could accumulate for a short period if it continues trading between $3.60 and $4.30. The breakout of this range is to determine the new trend for SUI. SUI Wide Angle Rising Channel Structure Summary:SUI is trading close to the mid-border of the wide ascending channel.Short-term downtrend has been broken and the level of $2.69 stands as a strong support.The level of $4.30 works as a strong resistance.The range between $4.98 and $5.11 could be targeted if the price can hold above $3.60.$3.32 → $2.95 → $2.69 → $2.36 are support levels to follow in case of a pullback.The range between the levels of $3.60 and $4.30 can be considered as an accumulation zone.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions. However, traders are responsible for their own actions and risk management. Moreover, it is highly recommended to use stop loss (SL) during trades.

INJ Comment and Price Analysis July 19, 2025
INJ Technical AnalysisThe Injective ecosystem has been drawing great attention these days. The reason for this is Canary Capital’s ‘Staked INJ ETF’ application filed yesterday to the SEC. This fund aims to reward investors through staking while also targeting to grow their returns based on price action. What’s more, this ETF application is the first staked INJ ETF filed in the US. Subsequent to this huge news, INJ jumped to a major resistance level. Now it is time to analyze the chart. Current Levels of INJ Looking at the chart on a weekly timeframe, we see that the price of INJ has surged to the level of $13.90. This price action suggests that the buy pressure from the level of $10.49 is gaining strength and the price is approaching the resistance zone again. The intersection of both the horizontal resistance and the bearish resistance at $15.64 will be vital for price direction ahead.INJ is currently trading below MA50 and MA200 on the weekly timeframe, yet the breakout of these moving average levels upwards can be considered positive for the continuation of the price. If the price can break above the level of $15.64 with great momentum, the targets will be the price zone of $18–$21 to follow. Still, keep in mind that profit realizations are possible at this level.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions. However, traders are responsible for their own actions and risk management. Moreover, it is highly recommended to use stop loss (SL) during trades.

TON Comment and Price Analysis July 18, 2025
TON Technical OutlookLooking at the chart on a daily timeframe, we can see that TON maintains its ascending channel pattern over a long period now. Just as we analyzed earlier, the lower channel support stood strong during this period. The price, getting support from this trendline, bounced upwards during the sharp pullback we saw at the end of June.The price, with this strong support, held permanently above the level of $2.76. This area is important as it is both the lower border of the trend and the horizontal support. On the daily timeframe, the price has approached the level of $3.31, which has been tested four times in the past and each time it has served as a strong sell area. If broken above, the price technically turns positive. Upward Channel Structure If the price continues to trade within the channel, the first resistance to follow in the short term is the level of $3.50. If this level is exceeded, then the following levels should be followed:$4.13 (major horizontal resistance)$4.87 – $5.16 (middle-term target zone)And the upper border of the channel: $6.00+In case of a possible pullback, the support levels to follow are as follows:First support: $3.00 – $2.76 rangeBelow this range, $2.18 is a critical level to watch.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions. However, traders are responsible for their own actions and risk management. Moreover, it is highly recommended to use stop loss (SL) during trades.

TIA Comment and Price Analysis July 18, 2025
TIA Technical AnalysisLooking at the TIA chart on the daily timeframe, we see that the price is heading towards the downtrend step by step. The price of the coin has climbed over to the level of $1.88 as analyzed earlier and it is trading above this level currently. Remember that this level was both the horizontal resistance and the psychological threshold. The price holding above it is crucial in terms of a positive scenario.The price range $2.11–$2.36 stands out as a key decision zone for the price, intersecting with both the horizontal resistance and the upper border of the downtrend. Should this level break out, the price might gain momentum and start rising towards the level of $2.45–$2.78, which is highly possible.On the other hand, if the price gets stuck at this level, the support levels to follow are $1.88, $1.72, and $1.60 in case of a pullback scenario. Moreover, if the price drops below the level of $1.60, then the general positive outlook will spoil. To summarize:The level of $1.88 broke above; the price holding above it is positive.First strong resistance: $2.11–$2.36If this zone is exceeded, the targets are as follows:→ $2.45→ $2.78In case of a pullback, the support levels are as follows:→ $1.88→ $1.72→ $1.60In short, the fate of the pattern will be determined through the test to the upper border of the downtrend. An upward breakout could trigger a new continued upward movement in the short and middle term.

Five Companies Purchase BTC, ETH, CYBER, NMR and DOGE
The growing interest of institutional players in the cryptocurrency world is evident in notable new investments. Recent announcements from three different companies provide insights into the importance of cryptocurrencies in the market. New York Stock Exchange-listed Enlightify (ENFY), artificial intelligence-focused hedge fund Numerai, and crypto mining infrastructure-renowned Bit Origin (BTOG) are all making headlines with their strategic moves in the crypto market.Enlightify Eyes CYBER TokenActivating in line with its digital transformation goals, Enlightify announced that it will purchase $20 million in CYBER tokens from the open market over the next 12 months. This investment makes the company the first publicly traded company to directly invest in CYBER.CYBER has recently been attracting the attention of institutional investors, particularly for its Web3-based digital identity solutions. The project, which stands out with its community growth and technological infrastructure, has already caught the attention of traditional players like Enlightify. The company's CEO emphasized that this move is part of their long-term growth goals and their confidence in CYBER's innovative solutions. Numerai Strengthens Its Ecosystem with NMR BuybackNumerai, an AI and crowdsourcing-based hedge fund, announced the launch of a $1 million buyback program for its native token, Numeraire (NMR). The fund, which has increased its assets under management from $173 million to $441 million in the past year, is investing in its ecosystem to support this growth. Numerai's "Stake-Weighted Meta Model" strategy, which combines models trained with users' staked NMR tokens, is reinforcing the platform's success. The limited token supply and the anticipated decline in staking rewards make this buyback a significant move.Bit Origin Enters the Investment Stage with a DOGE TreasuryAnother notable move came from Bit Origin. The company announced that it has secured up to $500 million to establish an institutional treasury focused on Dogecoin (DOGE). $400 million of this funding will be raised from equity sales and $100 million from convertible debt securities.According to CEO Jinghai Jiang, this initiative demonstrates that the company is not limited to mining infrastructure alone, but is exploring the value and potential of Dogecoin itself. DOGE's high transaction speed, global community, and the payment infrastructure developed under the influence of Elon Musk support Bit Origin's strategic direction.The company also highlights Dogecoin's future potential on the X platform. DOGE's role in Musk's global super app vision appears to have been a determining factor in Bit Origin's investment decision.Bitcoin and Ethereum investments also attracted attentionAnother firm that strategically increased its Bitcoin investments was Canada-based Planet Ventures. With its latest purchase, financed from existing cash reserves, the company purchased 3,016,391,23 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 25,829,354,69 BTC. This purchase was reportedly made for $500,000 Canadian dollars, reflecting the company's belief in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. Planet, which offers transparency to investors through its publicly traded shares, has reached an asset concentration of approximately 12.53 satoshis, based on its over 206 million shares. This represents an impressive 670% increase compared to the June 26th purchase.Meanwhile, Nasdaq-listed Bit Digital has taken institutional interest in Ethereum to the next level. Following its recent $67.3 million capital raise, the company acquired approximately 19,683 ETH, bringing its total Ethereum holdings to 120,306. According to CEO Sam Tabar, Ethereum is not just a digital asset; it is also a new cornerstone of the global financial infrastructure. Bit Digital places ETH at the center of its long-term strategy, investing its assets through staking to both contribute to network security and generate returns.

XRP Hits New High After Seven Years: What's Behind the Rise?
The cryptocurrency markets are entering a historic period. XRP has surpassed its previous peak of $3.40 after seven years, reaching a new all-time high (ATH) of $3.65. This historic breakout is seen not only in terms of price, but also as a result of strong momentum combined with the overcoming of regulatory uncertainty, institutional adoption, and real-world use cases.The End of Seven-Year ResistanceXRP has struggled to break above its $3.40 peak, reached in January 2018, for many years. The ongoing litigation between the SEC and Ripple, the spread of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) within the community, and regulatory gaps have consistently dampened the coin's rise. However, this landscape has radically changed in the last few weeks. 5-day XRP chart XRP regained momentum after the US House of Representatives passed three critical bills related to the cryptocurrency market. The GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, in particular, are historic steps toward providing the industry with long-awaited regulatory clarity. The GENIUS Act clarifies which crypto assets are considered securities, while the CLARITY Act excludes digital commodities like XRP from the security definition. This development has strengthened investor confidence by reducing the likelihood of repeat incidents like the Ripple-SEC lawsuit.Institutional Winds BlowXRP's surge isn't solely driven by individual investor FOMO. On-chain data shows that whale wallets holding more than 100 million XRP have accumulated an additional 2.2 billion tokens since the beginning of July. Furthermore, Grayscale's inclusion of XRP in its large-cap crypto fund indicates growing institutional interest in the coin.Analysts believe these levels are just the beginning. Financial institutions like Standard Chartered and Bitget predict that XRP could reach the $5 to $7 range by the end of the year. These expectations are based not only on price speculation but also on Ripple's growing ecosystem and increased regulatory clarity. Expansion in the Ripple ecosystemXRP's price rally is driven by Ripple's technical innovations and strategic partnerships with the real sector. The recent launch of the RLUSD stablecoin has increased the diversity of financial products within Ripple's ecosystem. Launched in partnership with BNY Mellon, this stablecoin quickly reached a market capitalization of over $500 million.Furthermore, Ripple's real estate tokenization project with the Dubai Land Department demonstrates how the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain can be integrated into real-world applications. This EVM chain currently hosts over 1,300 smart contracts and 160 tokens.

ETC Comments and Price Analysis July 18, 2025
ETC Technical AnalysisEthereum Classic is trading within a narrowing triangle pattern on the daily timeframe. The upper border of this triangle formation has been tested three times so far, yet the price can’t break above it successfully, which suggests that this zone stands as a strong resistance. Therefore, it is possible that the price will retreat to the lower border of this pattern around $17.00 if it can’t break above this mentioned strong resistance area. In case of a pullback, we have the first support level of $16.65. Above this support, the technical outlook seems promising for the future. We should be following the strong lower support level of $15.79 in case of a deeper correction.According to the rise scenario, the first major target area could be $25.79–$27.07 if the price can break above the triangle pattern’s upper border. What’s more, this region saw strong sell pressure in the past, so we may see some profit realization here. However, if this level gets also broken upwards, the level of $31 seems possible. Triangle Formation Summary:Third test within the triangle formation.The price may drop to around $17.00 unless there comes a breakout.Above the level of $16.65, technical outlook is positive.In case of an upward breakout,→ First target: $25.79 – $27.07→ Middle-term target: $31.00Lower support levels:→ $16.65→ $15.79These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions.

DOGE Comments and Price Analysis July 17, 2025
Dogecoin Technical Analysis: Institutional Interest and Technical LeapBit Origin, which is listed on NASDAQ, drew attention of DOGE investors when it launched a $500M Dogecoin treasury strategy earlier today. The company has signaled a major investment in DOGE with $400 million in shareholder capital and $100M in convertible debt. Now, let’s take a look at why this company has decided to invest in DOGE, where we stand technically, and what could happen next after this investment plan. Cup Handle Formation Looking at DOGE chart on the daily timeframe, we see that the price has been moving upwards after the support it got from the strong zone of $0.145–$0.160. When we analyze the cup-handle pattern on the chart, we can say that the uptrend is just beginning. We see a horizontal consolidation around the level of $0.21 recently, but the price must break above the price zone $0.26–$0.27 to complete the formation mentioned above.In the event that this pattern is complete, DOGE can technically surge to the level of $0.50–$0.52. This scenario also gets support from the idea that the price is trading above MA200 and middle-term downtrend.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions.

CETUS Comments and Price Analysis July 17, 2025
CETUS/USDT Technical AnalysisCETUS is drawing near to test the downtrend within which it has been trading for a long time. Here, the price zone of $0.108 - $0.118 especially stands as a key support in the short term. If the price can hold above this key level and upward momentum continues, we can expect the price to climb towards the trendline. Falling Trend Structure Currently, CETUS is trading at around $0.123 and the next horizontal resistance area is $0.144 – $0.155. This price zone is of great importance as it has seen strong sell in the past and it intersects with the trend line. In other words, it is highly possible that the price will determine the next direction here at this level. If the price breaks above this level, $0.194, $0.241, $0.333, and finally $0.493 should be followed as next targets ahead.However, if the price retreats, the first major support area to follow is $0.118 - $0.108. The price has the potential to pull back to the level of $0.0858 first and then to the level of $0.0777 if it starts trading below $0.118 - $0.108. These levels, in case of a pullback, also overlap with the lower trendlines.Summary:If holds above $0.108 – $0.118, the overall pattern is positive.The price could climb towards the upper trendline.$0.144 – $0.155 is strong resistance and if broken:→ $0.1940→ $0.2419→ $0.3335→ $0.4936 should be followed.Support levels in case of a pullback are→ $0.1180→ $0.1080→ $0.0858→ $0.0777Upper trend breakout will determine the price direction.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions.

What is Tether Gold (XAUT)?
In the traditional financial world, gold has been considered a safe haven for centuries. When inflation rises, markets fluctuate, or economic uncertainty intensifies, gold is often one of the first assets investors turn to. However, investing in physical gold also presents some practical challenges: storage, insurance, transportation, and liquidity issues make it difficult for this precious metal to fully serve investors in the digital age. This is where Tether Gold (XAUT) comes in.Tether Gold (XAUT) is a digital asset pegged one-to-one to physical gold. This means that each XAUT token represents one troy ounce (approximately 31.1 grams) of pure gold meeting London Good Delivery standards. These gold coins are stored in high-security vaults in Switzerland, and investors can redeem these digital tokens for actual gold bullion if they wish. This combines both the security of physical gold and the flexibility of digital assets in one structure. Tether Gold is essentially a form of gold traded on the blockchain. This largely eliminates the logistical and operational challenges encountered in traditional gold buying and selling processes. Users can buy XAUT online, store it in their wallets, and transfer it anywhere in the world in minutes, without having to go to banks or physical gold stores.Moreover, because Tether XAUT can be traded on the Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20) networks, it offers broad compatibility within the crypto ecosystem and simplifies transfers. This allows investors to conveniently store XAUT tokens in their digital wallets and quickly buy and sell on various platforms when needed.Let's explore the details of Tether Gold, which bridges the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrency, and answer questions like "What is Tether Gold?" and "What is XAUT coin?"The Definition and Origin of Tether GoldUSDT, one of the first projects that comes to mind when one thinks of "stablecoin," "stablecoin," or "stablecoin" in the cryptocurrency market, has been managed by Tether Limited for years. Known for its financial stability and dollar-pegged nature, this digital asset was developed with Tether's robust technical infrastructure and market experience. This same team set out to offer investors a cryptoasset pegged not only to the dollar but to a real and tangible commodity: gold. As a result of this vision, Tether Gold (XAUT) was launched in 2020.Tether Gold is managed through TG Commodities Limited, a subsidiary of Tether Limited established specifically for gold transactions. Each XAUT token is pegged one-to-one to one troy ounce (approximately 31.1 grams) of high-purity, quality gold bullion recognized by the LBMA (London Precious Metals Market Association). This means that when you hold 1 XAUT in your digital wallet, you actually own 1 troy ounce of gold, physically stored in a secure Swiss vault.These gold coins are tokenized on the blockchain, meaning your ownership is documented completely digitally, transparently, traceably, and securely. Furthermore, thanks to this system, which is directly related to physical gold, your digital asset is not just a number; it has a tangible value in the real world.Tether, the company behind Tether Gold, has already established a strong trust in the crypto world. This structure, which has reached billions of dollars in trading volume along with USDT, operates under the umbrella of iFinex and is directly linked to Bitfinex, a cryptocurrency exchange. This institutional background helps position XAUT as a reliable asset in the eyes of investors.Tether Gold tokens are designed to be traded on the Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20) blockchains from the moment they are released. This allows users to easily transfer XAUT tokens to any digital wallet that supports these networks. This means users can securely store their XAUT using popular wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or TronLink and send it anywhere in the world with just a few clicks.This technical feature makes Tether Gold far more practical than traditional gold investing. Just think, what would you have to go through if you wanted to buy and send gold to someone the traditional way? Going to the bank, renting a safe, taking on the risks of transportation… But with XAUT, these transactions are now completely digital. In just a few minutes, you can send gold on-chain to a user on the other side of the world or buy and sell XAUT from your mobile device. We can compare XAUT with regular, physical gold in the following table:FeaturePhysical GoldTether Gold (XAUT)CollateralReal goldReal gold (1 XAUT = 1 troy ounce)Transfer EaseDifficult, requires physical transport24/7 digital transfer (Ethereum/Tron)StorageIn vaults, at home, in banksIn a digital walletDivisibilityLimitedHigh (can be bought in very small amounts)LiquidityDependent on jeweler/bank hoursInstant trading on centralized exchangesAccessibilityLocation-dependentGlobal, internet access is enoughSecurity RiskRisk of physical theft or lossDigital security (private key protection)Trading HoursLimited (weekdays, business hours)Always open (via blockchain)Auditing and TransparencyPersonal controlRegular audits by TetherTether Gold History: Key MilestonesSince its launch in 2020, Tether Gold (XAUT) has become a notable asset in both the crypto ecosystem and the traditional financial world. Enabling digital gold investment, the Tether gold coin project has made it an attractive option for both individual investors and institutional portfolios. Listings on various exchanges since its launch, increasing demand due to global economic developments, and partnerships with payment systems have played a critical role in Tether Gold's development. Below, you can examine XAUT's key historical milestones and growth process step by step:2020: Launch - Tether Gold was introduced by Tether in January 2020. This marked the entry of one of the first major digital assets backed by physical gold into the blockchain world. At the launch, each XAUT token was exchanged for 1 ounce of gold in a LBMA-approved bullion. 2021: Trading on centralized exchanges - Early on, Bitfinex, Gate.io, and several other crypto exchanges began listing XAUT. This step increased Tether Gold's liquidity and accessibility; users can now easily buy and sell XAUT on centralized exchanges.2022–2023: Demand for gold begins to increase - 2022 and 2023 were periods of volatility and uncertainty in the global economy. Inflation rates in many countries, especially the US and Europe, reached multi-decade highs; in the US alone, inflation exceeded 9% in the summer of 2022, alarming investors. In this environment, central bank interest rate hikes accelerated, while the Russo-Ukrainian war and energy crises also heightened risk perception in the markets. All these developments led investors to turn to gold, the traditional safe haven. Gold rose rapidly from $1,800 in 2022, approaching the $2,000 level in March. Despite fluctuations, it recovered in 2023, maintaining a strong trend between $1,900 and $2,050. This price increase was felt not only in the physical gold market but also in gold-backed digital assets.Tether Gold (XAUT), in particular, attracted attention due to its one-to-one peg to physical gold and its accessibility through blockchain technology. Investors sought an asset that maintained its value while offering the speed and convenience of the crypto world, turning to assets like XAUT. During this period, demand for XAUT increased significantly; trading volumes expanded, exchange listings increased, and institutional investors began adding this digital gold to their portfolios. In short, the upward momentum in gold prices created a shining star for XAUT among physical gold-backed cryptocurrencies.2024-2025: Institutional adoption and integrations - Starting in 2023, Tether Gold significantly expanded its use through integrations with payment systems and exchanges. In June 2023, Web3-based e-commerce platform Uquid accepted XAUT tokens as a direct payment method, allowing users to purchase real goods with the physical gold-backed digital asset. In 2024, a partnership with Alchemy Pay made VND/XAUT transactions available with zero commissions for users in Vietnam. By 2025, XAUT's international exchange listings also increased: exchanges such as FameEX, Maxbit (Thailand), and UZX launched spot and margin trading for the XAUT/USDT pair. Thanks to these strategic integrations, Tether Gold has become a functional digital gold asset, capable of making payments and global transfers, in addition to being an investment tool. However, it's worth noting that it is still not listed on Coinbase or Binance.2025: Gold continues to rise - As of 2025, the upward trend in gold prices continues. Factors such as interest rate uncertainty in the US and Europe, the cautious stance of central banks, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have led investors to return to gold. In this environment, the price of gold per ounce rose to $3,433 by June 2025, testing all-time highs. This increase fueled continued interest in Tether Gold. 5-year gold chart. 5-year XAUT chart. Why Is Tether Gold Valuable?So far, we've discussed Tether Gold's definition, its origins, and the milestones it has achieved since its launch. So, what distinguishes XAUT from other digital assets and makes it so valuable? What are XAUT's benefits? Let's examine them in detail.It's backed one-to-one by physical goldTether Gold's most fundamental value lies in its being backed one-to-one by physical gold. Crypto markets are generally highly volatile, but because XAUT is backed by actual gold, it tends to maintain its price relatively consistently. In other words, XAUT is considered a "safe haven" asset in the crypto world. Investors often turn to gold during periods of high inflation and economic uncertainty; Tether Gold fulfills a similar role by leveraging this safe haven approach to blockchain technology.A Fully Digital AssetOn the other hand, perhaps Tether Gold's biggest difference is that it is a fully digital, on-chain asset. In other words, even though XAUT represents a physical asset, all transactions occur on the blockchain. This offers significant advantages over traditional gold trading processes. For example, purchasing physical gold might require a trip to a jeweler, a bank transfer, or the worry of storing it. However, with XAUT, this process is completely transformed.24/7 Gold Transaction OpportunityXAUT tokens can be traded uninterruptedly 24/7 on the Ethereum and Tron blockchains. While traditional gold markets are closed on weekends or holidays, XAUT investors can buy and sell at any time and react instantly to price movements. This flexibility is particularly advantageous in volatile market conditions. XAUT transaction made via ERC-20 in an example wallet Investment Opportunity with Small DenominationsAnother key feature is XAUT's easy divisibility. While physical gold typically requires a specific weight, digital gold, XAUT, allows you to invest even very small amounts. This allows even small investors to enter the gold market. Instead of buying a gold bullion, you can participate in gold price movements by purchasing just a few dollars' worth of XAUT. In other words, Tether Gold provides investors with a liquid, geographically and time-sensitive gold experience.A Strong Tether BrandOne of the most important factors contributing to Tether Gold's value is the reputation of the company that developed it in the crypto world. XAUT is backed by Tether, a company with billions of dollars in trading volume and global recognition for its USDT. This structure is also linked to a well-established exchange like Bitfinex. Consequently, investors trust XAUT not only for its technical features but also for its strong brand and infrastructure. While Tether's name has already created a "safe haven" perception in the market, XAUT is seen as a version of this trust combined with gold. However, it's important to remember that Tether's reserve transparency has been criticized in the past, and each investor should conduct their own risk assessment.Who is the Founder of Tether Gold?As mentioned earlier, Tether Gold (XAUT) was developed by Tether Limited, one of the most established and well-known companies in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Tether made its name globally with USDT, the world's largest US dollar-pegged stablecoin. Following the success of USDT, which reached a multi-billion dollar market capitalization, the company took a new step: this time, it aimed to create an asset pegged to physical gold, not the dollar. As a result of this vision, Tether Gold (XAUT) was launched in 2020.Tether Gold's operational processes are carried out through TG Commodities Limited, the privately held subsidiary that manages Tether's gold assets. Tether itself is operated by Hong Kong-based iFinex Inc. and is directly connected to the Bitfinex exchange, which operates under the same umbrella.Paolo Ardoino, Tether's chief technology officer (CTO) and CEO as of 2023, also played a key role in the development of Tether Gold. Ardoino, known for his numerous pronouncements in the crypto world, frequently emphasizes Tether's pioneering role not only in stablecoins but also in creating digital solutions based on physical assets. Under his leadership, Tether has further advanced its vision of integrating traditional finance with blockchain, launching projects like XAUT.So, does this digital gold truly carry physical value? According to the company's statements and reserve reports, yes. Each XAUT token is collateralized with a one-to-one equivalent of one troy ounce (approximately 31.1 grams) of pure gold, held in highly secure vaults in Switzerland, according to London Good Delivery standards. In other words, the XAUT you hold digitally is backed by tangible gold in real life.Tether regularly reports the existence and security of these reserves through independent auditors. According to the company's most recent data published in April 2025, XAUT's total reserve value exceeds $770 million. However, according to statements made to Bloomberg in July 2025, this amount is around $8 billion. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)We've provided comprehensive information about Tether Gold (XAUT).

We deliver physical gold bars to any address in Switzerland." What's the difference between USDT and XAUT? USDT (Tether USD) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. XAUT, however, is backed by physical gold. This means USDT holders have stable access to dollars, while XAUT holders invest in actual gold. While USDT is the digital form of the dollar, XAUT is like "digital gold," its value tied to the price of the underlying gold.For detailed information about Tether Gold, the modern way to invest in gold in the digital world, check out the JR Kripto guide series.

Application Submitted for Injective (INJ)-Based Staked ETF in the US
Following spot ETFs in the cryptocurrency market, staking-focused ETFs are now making headlines. Asset management firm Canary Capital has submitted its application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on the Injective (INJ) token and offering staking returns. The company's product, called "Canary Staked INJ ETF," will both track the price of Injective and aim to generate additional returns through staking. ETF Application for InjectiveThis move is considered a step that could pave the way for staking-based ETFs in the U.S. The regulatory framework, previously focused solely on spot crypto ETFs, has begun to soften under President Donald Trump's pro-crypto administration. SEC officials have stated that the vast majority of staking activities do not fall under securities laws and therefore may not be subject to registration. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has also invited public feedback on the matter. Canary's new product comes amid a surge in staking-focused ETF initiatives in the US. As you may recall, REX-Osprey launched a Solana-based staking ETF earlier this month. Last month, the SEC also approved a multi-asset crypto fund from Grayscale, but this decision was later suspended.Canary Capital isn't limited to its INJ ETF initiative. The company has previously filed applications for ETFs including Tron (TRX), Cronos (CRO), Sei (SEI), Litecoin (LTC), Sui (SUI), Hedera (HBAR), and even the Pudgy Penguins-themed PENGU token and NFT. These comprehensive applications reflect the company's strategy to expand its crypto asset portfolio. The company released the following statement regarding its Injective ETF application: “We filed this application in response to the overwhelming demand for staking-based products from both individual and institutional investors. This ETF aims to eliminate technical barriers and provide a regulated, secure gateway to a broader range of investors.”Injective Labs, in its latest letter to the SEC, argued that regulatory clarity would create significant potential for DeFi and real-world assets (RWA). Injective CEO Eric Chen stated that the CLARITY Act, currently under consideration in Congress, would eliminate uncertainties and enable faster innovation on blockchain.The INJ token, meanwhile, is trading at $13.92, up 3.94% on the back of these developments. The token reached an all-time high of $52.62 in March 2024. According to CoinGecko data, Injective's total market capitalization stands at approximately $1.3 billion, placing it 89th in terms of market capitalization.
