that powers the first and most widely used stablecoin, is pleased to announce that Tether Gold (XAU₮) and Euro Tether (EUR₮) have been listed on the crypto derivative exchange, Bitget.

Launched in 2018, Bitget describes itself as a crypto exchange platform that aims to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 for their users.

Bitget exchange users will now have access to XAU₮, the stablecoin that represents ownership of physical gold. Additionally, with EUR₮’s launch on the crypto derivative exchange, Bitget customers have gained access to the Euro-pegged stablecoin from the company that powers the first and most widely used stablecoin in the ecosystem today.

“By having access to the stablecoin that represents ownership of physical gold and the Euro-pegged stablecoin that’s backed by the same company behind the first, most stable and trusted stablecoin, we believe the Bitget Community is poised to continue to grow and thrive,” said Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Tether.
“We are thrilled to be launching XAU₮ and EUR₮ on one of the leading crypto derivative exchanges across the globe.”
