DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced that it has become the No.1 centralized exchange for spot trading of Tether Gold (XAUT), commanding approximately 15.75% of total XAUT trading volume among centralized venues, according to CoinGecko data.
The surge in XAUT activity coincides with the token hitting new all-time highs around $5,500, closely tracking spot gold's breakout above $5,000. Gold prices have climbed on rising macroeconomic uncertainty, persistent inflation risks, geopolitical tensions, and continued central bank accumulation of gold — factors that have reinforced gold's role as a global hedge and store of value.
"Spot gold rose over 64% in 2025 — its biggest annual gain since 1979," said Han Tan, Chief Market Analyst at Bybit Learn. "As long as the macro backdrop remains conducive, and central banks and ETF investors sustain their purchases, gold should have little trouble posting fresh all-time highs in 2026."
As interest in gold-backed tokens accelerates, Bybit has become the primary liquidity and price discovery venue for XAUT, with trading activity remaining strong across weekends and periods when traditional commodities markets are closed. The exchange's liquidity depth has made it a central hub for traders seeking to gain or adjust gold exposure in real time, regardless of traditional market hours.
The concentration of XAUT trading on Bybit reflects a broader shift in how market participants are approaching the current bull cycle. More traders are turning to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) such as gold-backed tokens to balance volatility in digital asset portfolios, while retaining the speed, accessibility, and global reach of crypto markets.
"Gold's resurgence is being mirrored on-chain through XAUT, and traders are choosing Bybit as their primary venue to trade," said Emily Bao, Head of Spot at Bybit. "Our focus has been on building the deepest liquidity and most reliable market access, enabling efficient execution as tokenized gold becomes a core macro asset in crypto markets."
Bybit's comprehensive product suite enables traders to capitalize on XAUT's momentum through multiple strategies. The platform offers spot trading, margin trading with up to 10x leverage, and derivatives trading with up to 50x leverage. Traders can deposit XAUT across multiple blockchains including Solana, Ethereum, Mantle, Monad, and TON. The exchange also supports automated strategies such as DCA/recurring buys and Grid Bot, alongside onchain tools for alpha trading and yield farming, giving users flexible options to participate in the gold rally.
As the tokenized gold market continues to expand, Bybit remains committed to delivering strong liquidity, 24/7 trading access, and institutional-grade market infrastructure, reinforcing its position as the leading centralized exchange for XAUT trading during the current gold-driven bull run.

Bybit Leads Global XAUT Spot Trading with ~16% Market Share as Tokenized Gold Rallies to New Highs

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, the world's fastest-growing digital asset exchange and a pioneer in zero-fee trading, has announced a series of initiatives to integrate and expand the use of USD1, a US dollar stablecoin, across its ecosystem. By incorporating USD1 into its trading infrastructure and product suite, MEXC aims to broaden its use cases across the platform, including trading support, product integration, and wider ecosystem participation, while providing global users with more diverse and resilient stablecoin options.
USD1 is a stablecoin redeemable on a 1:1 basis for U.S. dollars. Each USD1 is 100% backed by a reserve consisting of short-term U.S. government Treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents. These reserve assets are held or maintained by BitGo Trust Company, Inc. and/or its affiliates. USD1 is issued by BitGo, while World Liberty Financial provides branding and certain operational support.
MEXC remains committed to offering a broad range of high-quality assets. Through this integration, MEXC will leverage its established product suite to expand the utility of USD1 across its ecosystem:
- Deep Product Integration: MEXC plans to gradually integrate USD1 across its product offerings, including Launchpool, Savings, and Futures collateral, subject to platform availability. Through these integrations, USD1 may be used as payment and settlement asset within the ecosystem, broadening its utility across the platform.
- Liquidity and Zero-Fee Support: MEXC will introduce additional USD1 trading pairs and launch associated zero-fee promotions. Leveraging the platform's deep liquidity and industry-leading low-fee structure, MEXC provides global users with a more convenient and cost-effective channel for USD1 interaction.
- Ecosystem Activity Empowerment: To enhance user awareness and experience with the stability of USD1, MEXC will launch a series of ecosystem incentive programs. Through various interactive mechanisms, these initiatives aim to lower the barrier to entry and accelerate the adoption of USD1 in real-world trading scenarios.
Vugar, Chief Operating Officer of MEXC, stated: "USD1 strengthens our mission to make high-quality assets more accessible, efficient, and usable at scale. Stablecoins are only as powerful as their distribution. By integrating USD1 into the MEXC ecosystem, we are expanding compliant stablecoin choice while enhancing trading and capital allocation tools. With over 40 million users and a strong zero-fee conviction, MEXC delivers immediate scale, deep liquidity, and real utility for USD1, accelerating its adoption across global markets."
As USD1 trading pairs and related features go live, MEXC will continue to explore practical use cases that bring added value to users across the platform. More details on upcoming initiatives will be shared in the coming weeks.
