TREE NEWS update: Anchorage Digital now lets institutional clients hold, trade and pledge Tether Gold (XAU₮) through its Prime platform, the crypto firm said. It is the first of several tokenized real-world assets the company plans to support as collateral for borrowing. The move extends Anchorage’s institutional lending and custody offering to gold-backed tokens.
Anchorage Digital Adds Tether Gold as Loan Collateral for Institutions
Anchorage treating a gold-backed token as eligible loan collateral is a meaningful step for tokenized RWAs, moving them from a trading instrument toward balance-sheet utility inside regulated custody. The immediate beneficiaries are institutional clients seeking yield or liquidity against gold exposure without leaving a custody platform, though the credit and liquidation mechanics behind that collateral are not disclosed here. The open question is whether other custodians and lenders follow with their own RWA collateral lists, and how gold-backed tokens hold up as collateral through a stress event.
