Tether introduces a new unit system for XAUT, its gold-backed token, drawing inspiration from the satoshi model that powers Bitcoin. The move reflects growing interest in fractionalizing real-world assets on blockchain networks.



The Scudo unit allows users to transact in smaller denominations of the gold-pegged token, addressing liquidity and usability concerns in asset tokenization. By mimicking Bitcoin's approach to divisibility, Tether aims to make its gold-backed instrument more practical for everyday transactions and trading.

This development highlights an interesting trend: major stablecoin and asset-backed token issuers are increasingly focused on improving technical specifications and user experience. As real-world asset (RWA) tokenization continues gaining traction in crypto markets, mechanisms like these become crucial for adoption and market efficiency.
XAUT-0.44%
BTC-1.25%
RWA-4.31%

The name Scudo is okay, but it seems like Tether wants to do everything... Will RWA really take off?

ngl this Scudo unit sounds pretty good, but the real question is, would anyone actually use it to buy groceries...

The name Scudo is quite good; it's much more comfortable than those stiff token symbols.
