Get Paid in Tokenized Gold: CryptAPI Adds Support for Tether Gold (XAUt)

Get paid in tokenized gold, backed by the real thing. Tether Gold (XAUt) is now live on CryptAPI. Accept the gold-backed token on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, and CryptAPI forwards each payment to your own wallet once it confirms.

Supported Networks

You can now accept Tether Gold with these tickers:

• Ethereum (ERC-20): erc20/xaut, minimum 0.0015 XAUt per transaction
• BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20): bep20/xaut, minimum 0.00025 XAUt per transaction

At CryptAPI's XAUt rate on 5 November 2026 (about USD 4,085 per XAUt), those minimums come to roughly USD 6.13 on Ethereum and USD 1.02 on BNB Smart Chain. Payments below the minimum are ignored and the funds are lost, so check the current values with the info endpoint before you set small prices.

What Is Tether Gold?

Tether describes XAUt as a digital token backed by physical gold. Each token represents one fine troy ounce of gold, held in Swiss vaults as London Good Delivery bars. Holders can look up the gold allocated to their address on Tether's site, and the token divides into units as small as 0.000001 fine troy ounce.

A note for pricing and accounting: each XAUt stands for an ounce of gold, not a fixed dollar amount, so the US-dollar value of the XAUt you receive can rise or fall with the gold price.

Why Accept XAUt?

• Let XAUt holders pay directly: customers who hold Tether Gold can pay you in XAUt without swapping it first.
• Receive revenue in gold-backed tokens: each XAUt payment goes to the wallet address you set.
• Choose the network: take payments on Ethereum, or on BNB Smart Chain, where the minimum is lower.
• No sign-up: there is no account and no API key. You call the API with your wallet address and a callback URL.
• Fees: start at 1%, with volume discounts down to 0.25% based on the previous 30 days, plus network fees. See the fees page.

How to Get Started

1. If you haven't already, verify your callback domain once on our Verify Domain page, with a DNS TXT record or an HTTPS file.
2. Call the create endpoint with erc20/xaut or bep20/xaut, your XAUt wallet in the address parameter and your callback URL. CryptAPI returns the payment address to show your customer.
3. Check the live tickers and minimums on our cryptocurrencies page.
