Summary
this post should have HOW TO TRADE XAUt as a title, but due to the fact that gold encapsulate XAUt and many other asset backed or linked to gold, i taught that HOW TO TRADE GOLD make more sens.
Many guides available online criticize gold for its inability to generate an income like interest for bonds or dividend for stocks.
The best idea that you can take from this post is the fact that you can stake gold backed cryptocurrencies, and this make XAUt (or gold) income generating.
Gold is really scare, and a majority of holders voting yes for a governance proposal increasing gold supply is a joke. It is a real world asset that is very complicated and expensive to produce in a lab, at the opposite of diamond and emeralds that can be made in a lab at an affordable cost.
If you are a trading beginner not planning to hold it, you should ignore the narrative about gold : safe haven, store of value,…. I personally think that there is no safe haven for a trader, instead there is a market price and a lot of unexpected events.
Gold has a low volatility, it presents fewer opportunities for a short term trader to take profit, allocating 2 % at most of your entire position to gold is probably the right thing to do.
1- Category
Tether Gold (XAUt) is a product developed to combine the benefits of physical and digital assets by allowing its holders to own physical gold in the form of a digital token. Launched in 2020 by TG Commodities, S.A. de C.V., Tether Gold (XAUt) is a stablecoin that provides ownership on a 1:1 basis of one fine troy ounce of gold on a physical bar of gold that meets the good delivery standard of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). This technology allows access to a stablecoin that provides ownership of physical gold while avoiding the drawbacks associated with physical gold, such as high storage cost and limited accessibility. Note : XAUt tokens can be fractionated up to six decimal places (i.e. in increments as small as 0.000001 troy fine ounce).
2- Utility
- - real physical gold ownership,
- - easy to transport,
- - divisibility into 0.000001 fine troy ounce of gold,
- - traded 24/7, 365 days a year,
- - redeemable physical gold in Switzerland,
- - easy to store,
- - audit-ability,…..
3- Market capitalization
According to gold.tether.to as of July 31, 2026 XAUt has a market capitalization of $2,917,017,451 backed by 22,168.93 kilograms of gold.
According to coinmarketcap.com as of August 3, 2026, XAUt rank 31 with a market capitalization of 2.46B.
4- Competition
4-A- income
Gold as an investment is in competition with two major assets : bonds and stocks. If interest rates and dividend drop, than some of investors capital should be parked elsewhere.
4-B- Reserve
USD, EUR,... are known to be used as reserve by many central banks in the world and there is actually a growing discussion about initiating or growing reserves in other assets such as silver, bitcoin, ethereum,….
5- Macro trading
Macroeconomic trading is a vast field in trading that require an academic and professional understanding of a broad range of topics in economics to be able to understand change in indicators, news, indexes, metrics,... published all days and trade on them. The skills set include some advanced mathematics and financial modeling that needs software programming or simply Microsoft Excel to be operated efficiently. As soft skills, a macro trader must have a good understanding of national politics and geopolitics. A good Macro trader does not specialize in one market, he must know how forex, bonds, stocks, commodities(like gold),….. interact with each other. They know how to interpret numbers and how trends and prices form.
6- Ecosystem
6-A- Gold Exchanges
as a gold trading beginner you should know that there is two kind of gold exchange products :
- - spot gold : the price now,
- - gold futures : the price in the future (in 1 month, 2 months,....)
6-A-1- Gold spot exchanges
6-A-1-a- Loco London precious metals market
in the LOCO London market, trade is carried out directly between two counter-parties, without the involvement of an exchange – enabling transactions to precisely meet a client’s requirements. LBMA is at the heart of this market.
The LOCO five market elements are :

6-A-1-b- Shanghai gold exchange

6-A-2- Gold futures exchanges
- UAE: Dubai gold and commodities exchange,
- INDIA: multi commodity exchange of India,
- JAPAN: Tokyo commodities exchange,….
6-B- Non profit
6-B-1- World gold council
World gold council is a membership organization that champions the role gold plays as a strategic asset, shaping the future of a responsible and accessible gold supply chain. The three core pillars of the world gold council mission are :
- improving understanding,
- improving access,
- improving trust.
6-B-2- London Bullion Market Association
LBMA’s role is to advance standards in refining and promote operating in the global precious metals industry. LBMA protects the interest of those who buy and sell precious metals by assuring the quality of what is traded on the Loco London Market.
6-C- Gold price predictions
Anyone who try to use cryptocurrencies price prediction will realize that those prediction have a problem, some of them end up very far from real market price. Gold price prediction also can fail but in my opinion they are more realistic than crypto. Gold price predictive models are probably easier to build than those for Bitcoin or ethereum for a simple reason that there are less unknowns.
According to the chart below, gold price could in average reach 4 769 by the end of 2026.
In the chart below, dates are estimate only and prices are from : LBMA 2026 forecast survey
6-D- Trading vehicles
this section is not talking about other possible gold trading vehicles such as :
- - Futures,
- - Options,
- - CFDs,
- - Mutual funds,….
I see instruments listed above as too advanced for a beginner, and unnecessary sophistication for a trading beginner with a small capital. Derivatives can be very useful, but it make sens to use them only when your trading portfolio is large and risky enough.
6-D-1- Gold backed cryptocurrencies
I have read some other HOW TO TRADE GOLD written by others, many are talking about gold as a none yielding asset that provide no income such as interest or dividend. I would like to highlight that many gold backed cryptocurrencies like XAUt can be staked, a holder can get 4-5 % APY from staking without loosing ownership. This of course change how gold is compared to stocks and bonds. I think that people holding physical gold must review their position and consider staking as a new source of income.
a post dedicated to Gold backed cryptocurrencies is available in this LINK
6-D-2- Physical gold
this is a traditional way to invest in gold, what can motivate someone to store gold at home is linked to the prepper culture. You can watch some of those videos on youtube showing people storing food for two years in their basement, it sounds crazy at first but can be a form of risk management for a family. It tells about a time when everything collapse, there is no banks, no ATM, no internet, no satellite, …. a time when paper money is worthless. Prepper see gold as a way they can pay for food in total chaos times.
This idea of storing things is what makes gold interesting, as you can see, even simple food storage can not last, food has a shelf life, like sardines with 4 years shelf life only. you can not store iron for example, because of oxidation, you can not store paper money, because it can burn in a house fire or degrade with humidity in a coastal town over time. Gold is different, it does not burn, does not oxidate, you do not need a large facility to store it like other metals, you can keep 3 bars in a drawer. The reasons why gold is stored are very practical and simple.
gold jewelry have emotional and cultural value for their owners, this makes gold priceless for their owners, something that they will never sell.
For a trader with a structural cash shortage, storing gold at home is a bad idea for many reasons, one of those reasons is that you can no longer use your gold as a collateral to get a loan.
I do not recommend physical gold, it’s a bad idea.
6-D-3- Gold ETFs
according to www.etf.com/topics/gold there is 14 gold ETFs :
| Category | Number |
|---|---|
| Commodities : precious metals gold | 14 |
| Leveraged commodities : precious metals gold | 5 |
| Inverse commodities:precious metals gold | 4 |
| Equity : global gold miners | 9 |
| Leveraged equity : global gold miners | 5 |
| Inverse equity:global gold miners | 3 |
| Total | 40 |
Trading or holding gold ETFs is one of the simplest and safest ways available and present some advantages such as :
- - 5/7 strong liquidity,
- - easy transaction and storage,
- - easy to manage legacy in case of sudden death,….
6-D-4- Gold mining stocks
investing in gold mining stocks is in fact an investment in gold mining operations :
- - exploration,
- - mining,
- - production,
- - refinement,
- - distribution,….
of course there is a link between the two, but it is not an investment in gold. This does not make sens for gold where there is many vehicles that track the price of gold directly. This can fully make sens for industrial metals if they are not tokenized or tracked by an ETF, such as :
- - lead,
- - molybdenum,
- - zinc,
- - tellurium,
- - germanium,….
I will not advise investing in gold mining stocks because it is not gold (the metal).

7- Stakeholders
7-A- Central banks trading
central banks are sovereign institution with a huge due diligence and risk management background, if they are buying gold, it tells about the safety of gold as an investment. Central banks can influence the gold market because of the size of their market operations. They use gold as strategic reserve and hedge against currencies exposure. Large central banks and governments do not follow the trends, they initiate them, because they are the most involved players in the market.
You can find below a list of resources where you can find more about central banks gold reserves:
- Reserve by country,
- US federal reserve
- Italy,
- reserve bank of India
- European central bank
- bank of England
- Turkey,
- Uzbekistan,....
7-B- Gold bugs
highly convicted, Gold bugs are passionate investors who allocate large part of their long term position or saving into :
- - physical gold bars,
- - physical gold coins,
- - gold related stocks,
- - gold related futures contracts,....
7-C- Hedgers
Hedgers are institutional investors managing diversified portfolio with strong emphasis on risk coverage, they use gold among other tools to reduce risks linked to possible prices trends in the future. Because of their size, hedgers have significant influence on gold price.
7-D- Mining companies
Mining companies are on the supply side, large gold funds traders are closely monitoring production forecast and production report by mining companies. They can inject large quantities of gold into the market or fail to do so, and this can have an impact on gold price. Problems in exploration and production or the announcement of the shut down of a gold mining site can have an impact on gold price.
7-E- Speculators
Speculators can be retail or large short term holders interested in taking profits as soon as they materialize.
7-F- Jewelry manufacturing
depending on the country, city, rural or urban areas, Jewelry can be used by women as luxury, prestige, elegance, power, … item. It helps express or signal social class, wealth or rank in the local community.
7-G- Technology electronics
gold characteristics such as :
- - corrosion resistance,
- - electrical conductivity,…
makes it a good choice for :
- - medical devices,
- - smartphones,
- - GPS satellites,
- - desktops,
- - laptops
in a simple word, if you are using a laptop right now, there is a small piece 0.1 to 0.5 grams of gold in your RAM connectors, CPU, …. do not take it out, its worth nothing, just a few bucks.
7-H- Gold Corporate treasury:
as a corporate treasury asset, gold can present a use case different from Bitcoin.
Bitcoin corporate treasuries are designed to strengthen the balance sheet with the goal of making money from the increase of BTC value in the future. Gold has less ambitious price predictions than Bitcoin, but it is a tested reserve asset with a naturally capped supply.
as of August 3, 2026:
| Company | Asset | Gold reserve |
|---|---|---|
| aurelion.com | XAUt | 33,318.3 oz |
7-I- High Profile
Peter Schiff is an influencer with +1.5M followers on X, he is known for being pro gold and against Bitcoin.
As a media personality, he frequently appear on TV and youtube channels, providing comments, education and opinions. because of gold market capitalization, the involvement of sovereign and private institutions in the gold market, he can not impact gold price as an influencer like others do for crypto but he has access to a small fraction of retail investors that he can influence into buying additional gold.
8- Gold ups and downs
there is a domino effect playing in what can cause gold price changes, one event can trigger a series of reaction that can lead to the price of gold going up or down..
9- Why would someone need to buy Gold ?
9-A- Privacy
in some countries there is absolutely no way to get some basic privacy, people can network and unlawfully get your bank account details in 3 or 4 phone calls. In such situation gold can provide some minimal privacy.
9-B- Diversification
i do not agree with the idea of gold being a safe haven, i see it as counter trends asset, it could rise in stocks adverse market conditions, when others fall.
10- Why XAUt go down ?
Gold going down is a combination of low demand for gold and high supply of gold.
Please pay attention to the fact that when i say going down, it is only for the short term. the global long term trend for gold is the increase in price because of the limited supply. the price stagnate, it does not aggressively go down
10-A- Low inflation
in daily life, low inflation means that you need (close to) the same amount of money to buy the same things that you bought in the past. Individuals may describe the situation as money keeping its value. Gold is no longer interesting in this situation, if banknotes are expected to buy the same things in the future, than one should save some money (fiat) because it is expected to keep its value in the future.
10-B- Low Demand for gold
10-B-1- Strong US Dollar
Gold is denominated in USD, a strong US dollar means that none Americans need more of their local currency to buy US dollars, for them this mean that gold price is higher, this of course can repel buyers or investors and push the price of gold down.
10-B-2- Jewelry
middle class are the ones able to grow demand for jewelry, economic policies squeezing middle class for fiscal optimization for example can left middle class with no excess saving to buy jewelry. This will corner people to buying less or no gold at all. The reduction in demand for jewelry will stop jewelry manufacturing raw gold demand, pushing the price down.
10-B-3- industrial demand
You may be thinking right now about buying a new desktop or laptop, and this is the best way to understand demand for gold coming from technology and electronics. Why you cant buy a new one is what lower the demand for gold. You were able to buy a new laptop few months or years ago because you had the money, now for example, you do not have the money, this is what lower demand for gold.
10-C- High Supply of gold
10-C-1- Central banks - interest rates hike
central banks may decide to raise interest rates to slow demand and inflation, if investor see rates profitable enough and a low probability of sovereign default, they will decide to sell gold and invest in bonds.
10-C-2- Mining
10-C-2-a- Mining - Short term
Mining is what supply the market with gold, there are mining sites in different countries around the world, the discovery of new reserves and the development of mining operation can increase supply and push the price down.
10-C-2-b- Mining - Long term
the majority of in-ground gold reserves are known, supply can only decline, and recycling is the only way left to provide gold to more valuable use cases.
10-C-3- Central banks
10-C-3-a- Central banks reserve
Central banks have large gold holding, if one central bank decide to sell a portion of its reserve, it will increase gold market supply and push gold price down.
10-C-3-b- New assets as reserve
there is a growing discussion about central banks forming reserves in other type of assets, such as silver, Bitcoin, ….some may consider this idea as theoretical and absurd now, but it is possible. Central banks replacing gold with alternative assets can increase supply and push gold price down.
10-C-4- institutional
institutional can decide gradually or collectively to decrease their allocations to gold, and reallocate to other assets. By doing so they can increase market supply and push the price down.
10-C-5- Traders - Stock Market
Traders with diversified positions can also sell portion of their gold to buy additional stocks whenever the stock market present clear opportunities for profit.
a strong stock market can attract more capital, traders and investors expecting higher earning and dividend can decide to re-balance their positions, sell some gold to fund additional stocks purchase. This of course can push the price of gold down.
10-D- Crisis end
individuals trusting the institution at the end of a crisis can consider selling their gold and depositing cash in their bank accounts again. The trust can be motivated by the end of a crisis, recovery from disaster, return to political stability,...
10-D-1- Wars
Countries reaching peace agreement after a period of war does not serve the interest of defense industrial complexes, for them it mean slowing the production of ammunition, but it is an event awaited by other major economic actors such as tourism and real estate developers.
it means that government are no longer constrained into defense overspending and inflation resulting from it, this increase expectation of government budget re-balance and lower the risk of sovereign debt crisis.
Bonds traders see bonds with high interest rate, and the expectation of decrease in interest rate resulting from an expected low inflation as an (historic) opportunity. for investors the reasoning is as follow:
I am going to sell some gold and invest in bonds
10-D-2- Elections results
Many CEOs and executives in the banking and financial sectors are political science graduate, with a deep understanding of political ideologies and economic policies resulting from them. they closely follow political leaders speeches and election programs announced by parties, attempting to predict government increase or decrease in spending, the impact that it can have on their holding and preparing action plans to re-balance their portfolios.
an election candidate promising to lower public spending and wining the election, means that inflation and gold price are expected to go down.
10-D-3- Political instability
Social unrest for example moves the markets, for stocks holders it means simply less earning and less dividends. for the business community, a country regaining its political stability after a period of unrest means that its time to sell some gold and invest in stocks.
10-D-4- Sovereign debt crisis
ending a country budget deficit and having a healthy level of debt require elected official to apply some combination of policies such as:
- - lowering military spending,
- - lowering social spending,
- - collecting more taxes or tariffs,
- - devaluating local currency to boost export,....
for investors with a diversified holding, a country regaining control of its public finance can mean that the country is becoming solvent and the bonds are safe to invest in. for them it is time to sell some gold and invest in bonds.
This is where gold can decrease in value, investor like bonds because they are income generating and less risky than stocks.
10-D-5- Financial sector crisis
Financial sector crisis were historically caused by :
- Stock market bubble burst,
- Collapse of a large bank,
- Country insolvency,....
Those crisis take time to end, but at the end, investor timing the market to enter again will sell portion of their gold, pull cash to fund new investment projects. the increase in gold supply push the price down
10-D-6- Natural disaster
Storms and flooding can destroy farms and reduce food available in the markets, this of course can trigger inflation or contribute to already existing inflation.
Storms and flooding can make reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure unavoidable, such increase in spending is seen by some investors as a risk of increase in inflation.
The end of such crisis can mean that local currency is safe to hold and invest, the selling of gold resulting from such situation can push gold price down.
10-D-7- Global health crisis
crisis such as covid-19 can increase chance of total collapse of government and its ability to pay back bonds, investors and even individuals will than see gold as something that can keep its value. at the end of such crisis, the opportunities for investment and growth can be huge. investor will not hesitate to sell portion of their gold holding to be able to catch those opportunities, by doing so they will push the price of gold down.
ADS
11- Why XAUt go up ?
Gold price going up is a combination of high demand for gold and low supply of gold.
11-A- inflation
in daily life, inflation degrade purchasing power, it means that you need more money to buy the same thing that you bought in the past for lesser money. Individuals may describe the situation as money loosing its value. Gold is used as protection against inflation, if banknotes are expected to buy fewer things in the future, than one simply should buy some gold because it is expected to keep its value in the future.
11-B- High demand for gold
11-B-1- Weak US Dollar
a weak US dollar mean that none Americans need less of their local currency to buy US dollars, for them this mean that gold price is lower, this of course can attract buyers or investors and push the price of gold up.
11-B-2- Jewelry
Jewelry is one of the use cases that can increase demand for gold, individuals around the world buying collectively during the wedding seasons for example can push the price up. From a long term perspective, jewelry increase sales is linked to the rise of middle-class able to earn, spend, save and aspire to a new lifestyle.
11-B-3- industrial demand
You may be thinking right now about buying a new smartphone, desktop or laptop, and this is the best way to understand demand for gold coming from technology and electronics. Why you can buy a new one is what increase the demand for gold. You are able to buy a new laptop because you have the money, this is what partially increase demand for gold.
11-C- Low Supply of gold
11-C-1- Mining
11-C-1-a- Short term
Mining is what supply the market with gold, there are mining sites in different countries around the world, in the short term a large disruption in mining operation can reduce supply and push the price up. For cryptocurrencies with capped supply, the limited supply is the result of tokenomics rule. For a RWA like gold, a limited supply is a real thing, there is no gold left to mine !
11-C-1-b- Long term
In the long term, This is a one way trend, the supply can only decrease and the price can only go up.
11-D- Central banks
11-D-1- Reserve re-allocation
Central banks have large gold holding, if one central bank decide to buy additional gold to grow its reserve, it will decrease gold market supply. Remember that this post you are reading is part of series of posts guided by position sizing, In fact central banks have trading rooms where highly qualified traders have a trading position, if for example India central bank see that the USD is becoming risky, lets say there is talks about the US government inability to pay back government bonds at maturity date for example, they will change their allocation, reduce dollar holding and buy some gold. And this of course will push gold price up.
11-D-2- China becoming the global superpower
China can replace the united states as the global superpower, they are showing great economic, technological and scientific fitness. This will question the dollar and its role in the financial system, BRICS countries could replace the USD with a gold backed new currency, this of course will strengthen gold as reserve for central banks, increase demand on gold and push its price up.
11-E- institutional
institutional can decide gradually or collectively to decrease their allocations to stocks and bonds for example, and reallocate to gold. By doing so they can decrease market supply and push gold price up.
11-F- Traders - Stock Market
a weak stock market can repel capital, traders and investors expecting lower earning and dividend can decide to re-balance their positions, sell some stocks to fund additional gold purchase. This of course can push the price of gold up. Stock traders can survive a prolonged bear market if their gold allocation is well sized, among other decisions.
11-G- Crisis start
an individual fearing the loss of access to his bank account can consider investing in gold as a form of safety. The fear can be motivated by war, political instability,...
as a trader you certainly read many guide advising traders to set stop loss, crisis start is the reason why you should do that. basically it is the moment in time where everyone is rushing to get their dollars so they can invest them in other assets such as gold.
After that it is too late, you can not sell unless you accept heavy losses. and it could take time for the crisis to end:
| Crisis | Last |
|---|---|
| Covid-19 | 3 years |
| 2008 financial crisis | 18 months |
| dot com | 2 years and a half |
11-G-1- Wars
winning a war require a lot of defense spending, government can find themselves fighting two wars : a military war and an economic war. It is about ensuring economic growth, providing funding for military equipments, spending enough to win the war without triggering inflation or sovereign debt default.
I also want to highlight the fact that the actual geopolitical (i am not an expert in the field) situation is really dangerous, the possible world war 3 could aggravate the united states sovereign debt situation. I will not call it an opportunity because it’s war, but a trader or investor can rationally allocate 2 % to gold and keep an eye on the situation in Ukraine, Iran, and Taiwan. (cross finger for peace, not gold).
11-G-2- Political instability
Some political conflicts can stay hidden for years until they explode, when that happen, the chain of events can spiral out of control. investors see those events as a source of anxiety and will not hesitate to quickly reallocate portion of their positions to gold.
11-G-3- Sovereign debt crisis
this is a very political and polarizing topic, it does not make the headlines every day but this does not mean that the counting has stopped. A trader should take a look at the numbers provided by projection websites such as www.us-debt-clock.com/live from time to time and buy or sell gold accordingly.
Gold is for the extreme case of sovereign debt default, a situation post inflation and increase of interest rate, a situation where investor are not interested in investing in bonds even with high interest rate because they think the government is insolvent and will not be able to pay back the bonds at maturity date.
This is where gold can increase in value, growing a gold holding is in fact a way one can prepare for the bankruptcy of the government?!!!!
people should know that countries leaders will care less about their countries bankruptcy if they are threatened by something worse :
- - nuclear strike,
- - humiliation by nuclear strike threats,….
Basically its the war that no one wants that make gold valuable.
11-G-4- Financial sector crisis
Permissive regulation or new technologies where investors have no experience can create and grow cyclic bubbles, everything is going smoothly until its not. one company collapsing can bring others down because of interdependence created over time.
The stock market crashed many times in the past and will basically continue to do so, when that happen, basically investors see gold as a temporary refuge until the market recover. the demand for gold resulting from such events push the price of gold up.
11-G-5- Natural disaster
storms, floodings, earthquakes, fires,.... can disturb economic activity, stop production in some manufacturing plants, repel travelers from visiting the country, cut road for goods transportation.
For stocks holders it simply mean lower dividend, reallocating a portion to gold allows them to minimize losses and stay in the market, waiting for better days.
the additional demand for gold push its price up.
11-G-6- Global health crisis
crisis such as covid-19 and the quarantine of the population can totally destroy an economy, in such situation the control of inflation is no longer a priority. the government can intentionally print money as they say to keep the economic engine turning and avoid the collapse of the socioeconomic system. If such context is reproduced, it will push the price of gold up.
