GMX has introduced a new XAUT/USD perpetual market for trading Tether Gold with up to 25x leverage.​

Key Features:

  • Available across six blockchains: Arbitrum, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Solana, and Avalanche
  • Backed by BTC-USDC liquidity, allowing traders to use Bitcoin as collateral
  • Enables simultaneous exposure to both gold and Bitcoin price movements

This synthetic perpetual contract expands GMX's asset offerings beyond traditional crypto markets.​ The cross-chain functionality allows users to trade from their preferred network while settling on Avalanche.​

The market uses XAUT, Tether's gold-backed token where each token represents physical gold reserves.​ Two liquidity pools support trading: a single-asset XAUT pool and a dual-asset XAUT-USDT pool.​

Traders can now access precious metals exposure while maintaining crypto collateral positions.​
