Tether has chosen gold to back its new synthetic dollar, aUSDT, due to its relative stability compared to Bitcoin, according to Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino in a recent interview with Bloomberg.

Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 最近在接受彭博社採訪時表示，Tether 選擇黃金來支持其新的合成美元 aUSDT，因為與比特幣相比，黃金相對穩定。

“Gold is probably the best asset to make that happen because it’s much less volatile than Bitcoin. We put up to Bitcoin, but gold is then is probably a better choice for the short term,” explained Ardoino.

「黃金可能是實現這一目標的最佳資產，因為它的波動性比比特幣小得多。我們支持比特幣，但從短期來看，黃金可能是更好的選擇。

Introduced in June, aUSDT is over-collateralized by Tether Gold (XAUT) and is part of Tether’s new Alloy by Tether platform, which is intended for creating various tethered assets.

aUSDT 於 6 月推出，由 Tether Gold (XAUT) 超額抵押，是 Tether 新 Alloy by Tether 平台的一部分，該平台旨在創建各種系留資產。

With the synthetic dollar, Tether seeks to increase confidence and transparency within the crypto market. Paolo believes that backing a digital asset with a tangible commodity like gold will instill greater confidence in users.

Tether 試圖透過合成美元來增強加密貨幣市場的信心和透明度。 Paolo 認為，以黃金等有形商品支持數位資產將為用戶注入更大的信心。

“It’s very, very important for us to research new ways of providing confidence to our user base and prove also to technology based on blockchain,” said Ardoino. “So until 1971, the US dollar was backed by gold.”

「對我們來說，研究為我們的用戶群提供信心並證明基於區塊鏈的技術的新方法非常非常重要，」Ardoino 說。 “所以直到 1971 年，美元都是由黃金支撐的。”

In addition, there’s a demand for alternative options to Tether’s USDT stablecoin, especially in countries experiencing economic instability, according to Ardoino. He noted that the new currency is meant to offer a more stable and transparent option.

此外，Ardoino 表示，人們需要 Tether 的 USDT 穩定幣的替代選擇，特別是在經濟不穩定的國家。他指出，新貨幣旨在提供更穩定和透明的選擇。

“We see also the opportunity to provide an opportunity for others that want to see a more transparent backing of our synthetic dollar,” Ardoino added.

阿多伊諾補充道：“我們還看到了為其他希望看到我們的合成美元提供更透明支持的人提供機會的機會。”

The introduction of aUSDT came ahead of the upcoming US presidential election, which Tether’s CEO believes will hugely impact the crypto industry.

aUSDT 的推出是在即將到來的美國總統大選之前，Tether 的執行長認為這將對加密貨幣產業產生巨大影響。

“I think the election will be very very important for the crypto industry. We have seen all the candidates looking at the current state of cryptocurrency support in the US,” he stated.

「我認為這次選舉對於加密產業來說非常非常重要。我們看到所有候選人都在關注美國加密貨幣支持的現狀，」他表示。

Commenting on the regulatory environment surrounding US crypto businesses, Ardoino pointed out that the country has not always been supportive of crypto.

Ardoino 在評論美國加密貨幣業務的監管環境時指出，該國並不總是支持加密貨幣。
