Ledn is expanding its platform to include Tether Gold (XAUT), Bitcoin and stablecoins, aiming to combine hard assets with digital dollar liquidity in a single custody and lending system.

XAUT represents one ounce of physical gold held in Swiss vaults and can now be held alongside Bitcoin within Ledn Transaction Accounts. The company said users will be able to trade across BTC, XAUT, USDT and USAT, as well as take and repay loans in stablecoins, with gold-backed borrowing planned for later this year.

The platform is also broadening its lending infrastructure to support USDT and USAT as loan rails, reducing reliance on external settlement processes. Ledn said the updates maintain its existing custody model, under which client assets are not lent out or used for yield generation.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the integration reflects growing demand for financial tools that connect long-term asset ownership with everyday liquidity needs.
