Aurise Launches XAUE Yield Token Backed by $76M Tether Gold

Aurise Foundation launched XAUE on April 22, 2026, a yield-bearing Ethereum token serving as a Treasury Layer for Tether Gold (XAU₮), with ecosystem partners Aurelion and Antalpha committing 16,052 XAU₮ (≈$76 million). XAUE employs 1000:1 fractionalization and a monotonically increasing exchange-rate model to deliver auto-compounding, gold-denominated yields via institutional strategies. Restricted to KYC/KYB-verified institutions, it boosts gold's capital efficiency, potentially increasing demand for digital gold, enhancing on-chain liquidity, and expanding DeFi utility for gold-backed assets.
