Tether Gold has rolled out an exciting new on-chain unit called Scudo, designed to streamline gold transactions in the digital economy. Under this framework, 1 Scudo represents 1/1000 of XAU₮, the tokenized gold standard. This fractional denomination brings granularity to gold-backed digital assets, making smaller denominations and everyday transactions more practical for users. The move reflects the growing adoption of tokenized commodities on blockchain networks, blending traditional precious metal value with crypto infrastructure. By lowering transaction thresholds, Scudo aims to unlock broader accessibility to gold-backed stablecoins, appealing to both retail participants seeking commodity exposure and institutions exploring blockchain-native settlement layers.

Scudo? It sounds like wanting to slice a gold bar into slices... But upon further thought, small transactions are indeed more convenient, I just don't know how the liquidity is.

Really? A new name for just one-thousandth? It just feels like a change of shell.

Scudo sounds good, but it feels like Tether is trying new tricks again... Can it really be used?

The name Scudo is okay, but splitting it into 1/1000... can it really make gold coin transactions smoother? Seems more suitable for small-scale scenarios.

Coming back to split units again? I feel like this is just a game of cutting gold bars into sesame-sized pieces and selling them...

I've been waiting for this small unit for a long time. Finally, I can buy gold just like buying coffee. --- The name scudo is quite good; it sounds much better than those stiff code names before. --- Honestly, this thing is really friendly to retail investors. No need to round up to whole numbers anymore. --- Gold standard making a comeback? Or is this time really going to be extraordinary? --- The 0.1% design is well thought out; it all depends on how the liquidity turns out. --- Just go for the cheap one. Whatever it's called, as long as it can be traded. --- What are the institutions waiting for? Hurry up and take over the position.
