How to convert Bitcoin to Tether Gold

The widget above is already set to BTC on Bitcoin → XAUT on Ethereum. The whole swap runs in one flow through NEAR Intents:

Step 1: Choose how to pay
Connect any Bitcoin wallet that holds your BTC. Or turn on Swap from external wallet to get a deposit address and QR code you can pay from any wallet or exchange; you then add an address on Bitcoin for refunds.

Step 2: Enter the amount and where to receive
Type how much BTC to swap and the Ethereum address that receives the XAUT, from any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby. The widget shows how much XAUT you will receive, fees included, before you confirm.

Step 3: Confirm and send
Approve the transfer in your wallet, or send the amount to the deposit address. Once it confirms on Bitcoin, solvers fill the swap and the XAUT is sent to your address on Ethereum. If the swap can't be filled, your BTC is refunded.

Prefer to keep a balance inside NEAR Intents? The Deposit tab adds BTC to it, Swap trades within it, and Withdraw sends tokens out to their own networks.

⚠ Important: receive on an address you control. If you send the XAUT to an exchange instead, check that it accepts XAUT on Ethereum: some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.

About the BTC → XAUT swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your BTC leaves Bitcoin and XAUT arrives on Ethereum. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is XAUT on Ethereum, ready to use there with no second bridging step.

XAUT is a tokenized version of another asset, so its price tracks its underlying rather than BTC. Swapping between BTC and XAUT changes both your exposure and the network your funds live on.

About Bitcoin and Tether Gold

What is Bitcoin (BTC)?

Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, described in a 2008 white paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and brought to life when its network went live in January 2009. BTC is the native unit of that network and moves directly between users without a bank or payment processor in the middle.

How Bitcoin works

Miners compete to add blocks by running SHA-256 hashing hardware in a Proof of Work process, and the chain with the most accumulated work is treated as valid. Every full node independently checks each transaction against the rules, so the ledger's history becomes harder to alter with every block stacked on top.

What BTC is used for

Most holders treat BTC as a long-term store of value and a hedge outside the traditional financial system. It is also used for cross-border transfers, as collateral in lending markets, and as a base trading pair across the crypto industry.

BTC supply

The protocol limits total issuance to 21 million BTC. New coins enter circulation only as block rewards, and that reward is cut in half roughly every four years in an event known as the halving.

Before you swap BTC

Bitcoin blocks arrive about every ten minutes on average, so a BTC deposit can take noticeably longer to confirm than deposits on faster chains. Double-check the receiving address format before withdrawing, since Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed.

What is Tether Gold (XAUT)?

Tether Gold, written XAU₮ by its issuer, is a gold-backed token from the group behind USDT, launched in January 2020. It is issued by TG Commodities, S.A. de C.V., which moved its domicile from the British Virgin Islands to El Salvador in January 2025 and is authorised there as a stablecoin issuer.

How Tether Gold works

Each token is an undivided interest in one fine troy ounce of gold on London Good Delivery bars, the LBMA standard, held by a custodian in Switzerland. Holders with a verified Tether Gold account can redeem whole bars, which usually means depositing about 430 tokens, and then take delivery in Switzerland or have the bar sold through a broker.

What XAUT is used for

XAUT gives on-chain exposure to the gold price without storing metal yourself. People hold it as a hedge or store of value, move gold value across borders in minutes, and trade it on exchanges against stablecoins and crypto.

XAUT supply

There is no fixed cap. Tokens are issued when customers buy XAUT from Tether Gold and removed when holders redeem for gold, so supply follows the ounces held in reserve.

Before you swap XAUT

XAUT tracks the price of gold, not the US dollar, so its value moves with the metal. This listing is the ERC-20 on Ethereum with 6 decimals, so keep ETH for gas. The issuer can block addresses at the contract level, and physical redemption is only possible through a verified Tether Gold account.
