Resumen

黄金价格近期屡创新高,稳定币巨头Tether成为背后重要推手。该公司已累计囤积约140吨实物黄金,价值约230亿美元,跻身全球前30大黄金持有者之列,规模超过多个国家央行。仅2025年,Tether就购入超70吨黄金,成为全球前三大黄金买家之一。 Tether计划打造“全球最大黄金央行”,每周持续采购1至2吨黄金,并积极布局黄金交易、矿业投资及金融产品。其发行的黄金稳定币XAU₮占据代币化黄金市场近50%份额。 支撑其大规模购金的,是Tether强劲的盈利能力。2025年其净利润达150亿美元,主要来自美债利息和稳定币USDT的庞大资金池。USDT流通量近1870亿美元,占据稳定币市场主导地位。此外,Tether还持有超9.6万枚比特币,并广泛投资于矿业、AI、通信等领域,构建跨金融与加密生态的资本版图。

黄金杀疯了。开年不到一个月,各路资金疯狂抢筹,金价频刷历史新高。

在这场贵金属的狂欢盛宴中,一个“隐形大庄家”意外闯入视野, 稳定币巨头Tether已悄然手握140吨黄金储备。

手握140吨黄金,要做全球最大黄金央行

“家里有矿”的Tether,正在成为黄金市场的大庄家。

“我们很快就会成为世界上可以说是最大的‘黄金央行’之一。”Tether首席执行官Paolo Ardoino近日在接受彭博社采访时,毫不掩饰自己的野心。

这并非空谈。截至目前,Tether已累计囤积约140吨实物黄金,按现价计算价值约230亿美元。通常,Tether会直接从瑞士精炼厂及全球头部金融机构购买,大额金属订单往往需要数月才能交付。到货后的黄金被存放在瑞士一处冷战时期建造的核掩体中,多层厚重钢门层层防护,而瑞士有着全球首屈一指的保密体系。

在规模上,Tether已成为银行体系和国家之外,全球最大的已知实物黄金持有者,跻身全球前30大黄金持有者行列,持仓规模超过希腊、卡塔尔、澳大利亚等多个国家。

尽管Tether早在多年前便开始布局黄金资产,但真正大规模进场发生在2025年。仅去年一年,Tether就买入超过70吨黄金,成为今年全球黄金的前三大买家。采购规模不仅超过除波兰央行外的几乎所有单一央行,也超过了不少大型黄金 ETF。

可以说今年的金价上涨,Tether也是重要推手。

据Ardoino透露,目前Tether的黄金采购速度约为每周1至2吨,并计划在未来几个月内维持这一节奏,“也许会放缓,但我们会按季度评估黄金需求”。

但Tether的野心并不止于囤金。在彭博社的采访中,Ardoino表示,Tether正在评估市场及潜在交易策略,计划通过主动交易黄金储备捕捉套利机会。同时,公司正着手打造“世界上最好的黄金交易大厅”,目标是建立稳定、长期的黄金获取渠道,并与摩根大通、汇丰银行等主导全球贵金属市场的大型银行展开竞争。

为此,Tether在去年高调引入两名重量级交易老将,前汇丰银行全球金属交易主管Vincent Domien,以及欧洲、中东和非洲地区贵金属采购主管Mathew O’Neill,专门负责拓展其黄金业务版图。(相关阅读:泰达的黄金帝国:“无国界央行”的野心与裂痕)

在产业链上游,Tether也开始用钞能力占位。Tether已先后入股多家加拿大中型黄金矿业特许权公司,包括Elemental Royalty、Metalla Royalty & Streaming、Versamet Royalties 以及 Gold Royalty等,通过权益投资,锁定未来产能与分成。

在金融产品层面,Tether早在2020年便推出黄金挂钩稳定币Tether Gold(XAU₮)。截至去年底,该代币由16.2吨实物黄金提供支持。不久前,Tether还推出了XAU₮的新计价单位Scudo,每1 Scudo代表千分之一金衡盎司黄金,旨在让黄金成为更易于使用的支付方式。

CoinGecko数据显示,截至1月28日,XAU₮的流通市值已达27亿美元,过去一年增长了约91.3%,在代币化黄金赛道中占据49.5%的市场份额,稳居第一。

从实物囤金、到产业链布局,再到金融产品创新,这位黄金爱好者的大手笔投入,甚至让传统大宗商品圈人士直呼“看不懂”,有人将Tether形容为“遇到过最奇怪的公司”。

但现在,随着金价不断刷新历史高点,Tether的这场押注正获得惊人的回报。

年赚150亿美元,打造资本弹药库

Tether疯狂囤积黄金的底气, 来自一台高速运转的“印钞机”。

根据Fortune报道,Tether在2025年创造了约150亿美元的净利润,较前一年的130亿美元显著增长。而支撑这百亿利润的全球员工仅约200人。粗略计算,人均利润高达7500万美元,如此高的人均效率令传统金融巨头望尘莫及。

而这套盈利能力的核心,来自其稳定币业务沉淀的资金池。

如今,Tether发行的美元稳定币USDT,已是全球使用最广泛的稳定币,用户数突破5亿。CoinGecko数据显示,截至2026年1月28日,Tether发行的美元稳定币USDT流通量接近1870亿美元,稳居稳定币赛道首位。交易活跃度同样领先,Artemis Analytics数据显示,2025年稳定币总交易量增长72%至33万亿美元,其中USDT贡献了13.3万亿美元,占比超过33%。

在此基础上,Tether正通过合规化进一步扩大资金沉淀规模。

1月27日,Tether正式推出受美国联邦监管的稳定币USAT,由美国首家受联邦监管的稳定币发行方Anchorage Digital Bank发行,Cantor Fitzgerald 担任指定的储备托管人及首选一级交易商,前白宫顾问Bo Hines出任CEO。这被视为Tether全面进军美国本土市场的关键一步。

与此同时,Tether借助对Rumble等内容平台的投资,试图将USAT业务融入至流量生态中,从而快速触达1亿美国用户,并设定了五年内市值1万亿美金的目标。若进展顺利,US AT可能成为USDC在美国市场首个真正意义上的竞争对手。

在获得几乎零成本的负债端后,Tether通过配置高流动性、低风险资产,轻松套取息差。

其中,美债利息是Tether的核心收益来源。在高利率周期中,美债利息直接放大Tether的盈利能力。目前,Tether持有的美国国债规模约1350亿美元, 已超过韩国等主权国家,成为全球第17大美国国债持有者。

同时,Tether也是比特币的超级玩家。自2023年开始,Tether将高达15%的月度净利润用于定投比特币。目前持仓已超过9.6万枚,成为全球最大比特币机构持有者之一,平均成本约5.1万美元,远低于当前市场价格。围绕着比特币生态,Tether还自建矿场、投资矿业公司、布局DAT(加密财库),不断扩大产业影响力,也一度在海外传出“BTC隐形操盘手”的阴谋论。(相关阅读:陷入BTC隐形操盘手阴谋论?揭秘Tether的比特币战略全景)

此外,为了撬动更多潜在收益,Tether过去几年开启了大撒币模式,投资触角延伸至卫星通信、AI 数据中心、农业、电信和媒体等领域。

由此,一个横跨传统金融和加密世界的套利机器已逐渐成型,并源源不断为Tether输送着资本弹药,成为其大举下注的筹码。

After Three Consecutive Quarters of Decline, Can the Crypto Market Find a Window for Stabilization in Q3?

The cryptocurrency market has just concluded its worst-performing quarter since 2022, with total capitalization dropping 12.6% to $2.1 trillion. All core metrics indicate capital is leaving the sector, not just rotating within it. Bitcoin fell 14.2% and Ethereum dropped 25.4% in Q2, breaking their previous correlation with US tech stocks. A key driver is the reversal in US spot Bitcoin ETF flows, which saw a net outflow of approximately $4.67 billion in Q2, including a record monthly outflow near $4.5 billion in June. While recent data suggests long-term holders are accumulating again, sustained ETF outflows mean continued selling pressure. Market focus is now singularly on the Federal Reserve. The upcoming July FOMC meeting is seen as the most critical event for Q3. A dovish signal could support Bitcoin reclaiming a $68,000-$84,000 range, while a hawkish stance might establish a new trading band around $50,000-$56,000. Additionally, regulatory uncertainty persists, with the progress of the crucial *CLARITY Act* stalling in the Senate, reducing its perceived 2026 passage probability to 40-45%. Despite the broad downturn, a few sectors showed growth. Prediction markets saw nominal volume surge 48.7% year-over-year to $113.8 billion, and tokenized collectibles transaction volume rose 143% quarterly to $1.4 billion. The Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector also continued steady growth, now representing ~$28.1 billion in on-chain value. The market's foundation for an extreme crash appears limited, with Bitcoin price hovering near its 200-week moving average. However, the trading paradigm has shifted from narrative-driven speculation to decisions based on price action, policy developments, and interest rate expectations, making a broad sentiment-driven rally unlikely in the near term.

BIT Trading Moment: BTC Still Suppressed by Weekly 200 EMA, Rejection May Restart Decline; Storage and Semiconductors that Surged Last Night Begin Falling in Evening Trading

**Crypto & Stock Market Wrap: Bitcoin Tests Resistance, Stocks Retreat After AI Surge** Bitcoin consolidates around $66,000, facing key resistance near $68,000—an area seen as a major psychological and technical hurdle where previous rallies have failed. Analysts note the cryptocurrency is caught between its 200-week moving average (~$63,333) and 200-week EMA (~$68,328). A clear break above $68k is needed to signal a stronger bullish trend, while a rejection could lead to a retest of $63k support. Market sentiment remains cautious, with low futures open interest pointing to a low-liquidity rebound rather than a full bull market. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw another $203 million inflow. US stock futures pointed lower after a strong Tuesday session led by a massive rebound in semiconductors and memory stocks. The rally was fueled by renewed optimism about AI-driven hardware demand, with Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix surging. However, those gains reversed in pre-market trading. Super Micro Computer (SMCI) soared over 20% after hours on strong guidance and a record backlog. Other standouts included Rocket Lab and nuclear energy plays Oklo and X-Energy. Rising oil prices (Brent above $91) and climbing Treasury yields (10-year near 4.64%), however, are reigniting inflation concerns and acting as a headwind for equities. In Asia, markets were mixed. South Korea's KOSPI pared early gains to close slightly higher as semiconductor stocks like SK Hynix gave back initial surges. Japan's Nikkei edged lower as the yen hit a fresh 38-year low against the dollar, raising fears of potential market intervention. Key events to watch include the Samsung Galaxy launch, AMD's AI event, and a slew of major tech earnings from Alphabet, Tesla, and IBM after the close on Wednesday, followed by the ECB meeting and Intel's earnings on Thursday.

Former CFTC Chairman, Circle President Tarbert: Preaching Long-Termism While Cashing Out $30 Million Himself

Former CFTC Chairman and Circle President Heath Tarbert has consistently advocated for a long-term vision in public, urging patience from investors as Circle’s stock price has fallen significantly from its peak. However, it has been revealed that since Circle’s IPO, Tarbert has continuously sold his CRCL shares through pre-arranged trading plans, cashing out approximately $30 million, without making any public market purchases. This contrast between his public messaging and personal actions has drawn criticism. Tarbert joined Circle in July 2023 as Chief Legal Officer, leveraging his regulatory experience to help guide the company through its IPO and expansion. Despite promoting stablecoins as long-term infrastructure, he established a 10b5-1 trading plan just before Circle went public, leading to substantial stock sales over the following year. In March 2026, he initiated another plan to sell more shares. His career trajectory highlights a pattern of moving between high-level regulatory roles and influential positions in the financial sector. After resigning as CFTC Chairman in early 2021, he joined Citadel Securities as Chief Legal Officer just 27 days later, during a period of intense regulatory scrutiny for the firm. He later joined Circle, aiding its efforts to navigate regulatory challenges for its public listing. While Tarbert's expertise in policy and compliance is valuable to companies like Circle, his actions—advocating long-term confidence while personally divesting—raise questions about the alignment between his public statements and his private financial decisions, leaving investors who followed his advice to bear the market risks.

Gate Research Institute: The 'Wall Street-ization' Wave of Crypto Financial Products – Competition or Integration?

The article titled "Gate Research Institute: Are Crypto Financial Products Sparking a 'Wall Street' Wave—Competition or Convergence?" explores the evolving relationship between the crypto ecosystem and traditional finance (TradFi). The piece begins by reflecting on Bitcoin's original 2009 vision of decentralization, disintermediation, and moving away from banks. It then contrasts this with the 2024 landscape, where key crypto assets like Bitcoin are increasingly held through Wall Street products like ETFs issued by giants like BlackRock. The article questions whether this signifies that TradFi is systematically taking over the rights to issue, price, custody, and distribute crypto financial assets. The core argument is that this is not a zero-sum takeover but rather a bidirectional convergence where each side addresses the other's weaknesses. Crypto offers 24/7 global markets, programmable settlement, and open access but lacks compliant channels, institutional-grade custody, deep fiat liquidity, and mainstream distribution. TradFi possesses these but is constrained by legacy systems, limited operating hours, and slow settlement. Two primary convergence paths are highlighted: * **Path A (CEX to TradFi):** Exemplified by Gate, which has progressed from offering tokenized stocks and CFDs to providing direct, real stock trading (US, Hong Kong, South Korea) within its platform, using USDT. * **Path B (TradFi to Crypto):** Exemplified by Robinhood, which has integrated crypto trading, acquired exchanges like Bitstamp, and is moving traditional assets like stocks onto the blockchain via tokenization and its own Layer 2. Both paths are ultimately competing to become the next-generation, unified financial account—a "super account" where users can seamlessly trade cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, RWA (Real World Assets), and tokenized treasury products in one interface. The growth of RWA and tokenized treasuries (e.g., BlackRock's BUIDL) is presented as the asset-layer fusion, providing stable, yield-bearing assets on-chain and acting as a bridge between the two worlds. In conclusion, the "Wall Street-ization" of crypto is framed as a mutual transformation. Decentralized ideals persist in the protocol layer, while at the application layer, a more efficient, global, and accessible unified capital market is emerging from this convergence. The future competition lies not between crypto exchanges and stockbrokers, but between platforms vying to offer the most comprehensive asset coverage, liquidity, and user experience within a single account.
