XAUT Now Available on Swyftx in Australia and New Zealand

Published on 17 Apr 2026|Updated on 27 June 2026|2 min read

Swyftx, a leading cryptocurrency exchange in Australia and New Zealand, today announced the listing of Tether Gold (XAUT), a tokenised gold asset backed by physical gold reserves.

The listing will see Swyftx provide a major platform for both XAUT and USDT across the AU/NZ markets, combining large-scale user education, promotional campaigns, and enhanced market access to drive adoption among retail and long-term investors.

With around 1.5 million users globally and more than 1.1 million users across Australia, Swyftx is well placed to introduce Tether’s digital assets to a broad audience seeking diversification and liquidity in an evolving digital economy.

As part of the collaboration, Swyftx will launch a comprehensive campaign focused on Tether Gold (XAUT), a digital asset backed 1:1 by physical gold stored in secure vaults. The initiative aims to educate Australian and New Zealand customers on how XAUT works and its key features.

Through Swyftx’s established Learn & Earn ecosystem, in-app promotion, email campaigns, push notifications and social distribution, multiple customer touch points will feature XAUT.

Andrea Yuen, Co-CEO of Swyftx, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Tether.

“It is difficult to overstate the importance of this moment. We’re moving into the era of tokenisation and XAUT is the first, and perhaps the most important stage in this journey.”

Alongside XAUT listing, this initiative will strengthen USDT’s presence on the Swyftx platform, supporting education content relating to USDT on the platform.

USDT is widely used globally as a digital asset designed to maintain a value linked to the US dollar for trading and transfers. Swyftx aims to support customer understanding of USDT and its use cases in the AU/NZ market.

The initiative represents one of the most significant joint activations for Tether in the Australian and New Zealand markets to date.

The campaign will include:

  • Dedicated educational modules on XAUT and USDT

  • Broad in-app and email promotion across Swyftx’s user base

  • Launch incentives subject to applicable terms and eligibility requirements

  • Social and digital distribution
