Aurelion Treasury Unveils Nasdaq’s First Tether Gold Reserve

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-10-10Última atualização em 2025-10-10

Prestige Wealth Inc. announced on Friday that it is rebranding to Aurelion Treasury to launch Nasdaq’s first Tether Gold-backed corporate reserve. 

This came shortly after the firm secured $150 million in new funding to build a new kind of digital gold treasury that connects real gold with blockchain technology. The rebrand, which is subject to regulatory approval, will take effect on October 13, 2025, when the company begins trading under its new ticker, AURE.

Big Funding for a Gold-Backed Future

In the press release, the firm said it raised $100 million through a Private Investment in Public Equity financing round led by Antalpha Platform Holding Company. 

Another $50 million came from a loan provided by Antalpha Management, which brings the total funds to $150 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Aurelion said it plans to use most of the proceeds to acquire Tether Gold (XAUT), an on-chain gold-backed treasury on Nasdaq.

Incoming CEO Björn Schmidtke, who previously co-founded the Bitcoin mining company Penguin Group, said the new treasury is meant to create a new standard for digital wealth. “I am bullish on Bitcoin long term, but Tether Gold represents real, redeemable value — the true digital gold,” Schmidtke said.

Antalpha CFO Paul Liang said the partnership is a step to make digital gold easier for people to understand and use. “Digital assets will be more tangible to many when one can walk into a jewelry store and redeem a gold bar with Tether Gold,” he emphasized. Antalpha plans to use its Real-World Asset Hub to make gold redemptions simpler, so that holders can exchange tokens for real gold bars in the future.

Share Surge 17% Following the News

After the news, shares of Prestige Wealth, which still trade under the ticker PWM, jumped by about 17% on Friday, with its market value reaching around $57 million, according to Yahoo Finance. At the time of writing, the share is trading for $1.2190.

Robotic GPT-3 Moment Shakes Silicon Valley: Zero Lines of Code, Learns Instantly, with Investments from Jensen Huang and Fei-Fei Li

Generalist AI's newly released robot foundation model GEN-1.5 is being hailed as the "GPT-3 moment" for embodied AI. The model demonstrates remarkable one-shot and few-shot learning capabilities in physical manipulation tasks. By watching a single 3-12 second demonstration video (physical prompting) without any training or code, the robot can attempt the task with a 59% average success rate across 10 tasks. With just 5 minutes of demonstration data and minimal fine-tuning (10 gradient steps), the success rate jumps to 83%. The most significant breakthrough is the emergence of spontaneous, improvisational problem-solving abilities not present in the training data. For instance, after learning to sweep blocks with a brush, the robot can adapt to use a banana similarly or switch to a completely new "scoop-and-pour" strategy when given a dustpan. Other emergent behaviors include removing obstacles, correcting errors, and spontaneously sorting objects. These capabilities stem from over 8 months of large-scale pre-training on physical interaction data, suggesting the existence of a Scaling Law for embodied intelligence—where model generalization improves with more data and training time. This approach drastically reduces the cost and expertise needed to teach robots new skills, potentially democratizing robot programming. The release coincides with a surge in the humanoid robotics sector, marked by events like the World Robot Conference and significant investments. While the demonstrated tasks are still relatively simple, the scaling trend and emergent behaviors point toward a future where general-purpose robot "brains" could be easily adapted to various hardware "bodies," reshaping the industry's competitive landscape.

Semiconductor Industry Sees a New Wave of Price Hikes, with STMicroelectronics, Maxscend and Others Increasing Prices Intensively

The semiconductor industry is experiencing a new wave of price increases driven by supply-demand dynamics and rising costs. Throughout August, multiple international and domestic semiconductor companies have issued price adjustment notices to clients, with a focus on analog and RF chips. Key companies adjusting prices include STMicroelectronics, which is implementing its third price hike in 2026 effective August 23, citing sustained demand pressure and rising costs across the supply chain. Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) has also announced a second price increase for 2026, effective September 13, due to "unprecedented" demand growth and escalating manufacturing costs. In China, RF chip leader Zhuosheng Microelectronics issued a price adjustment notice for its full RF product line, effective September 1, its first hike this year, attributing it to rising raw material and foundry costs. Additionally, Chinese MCU manufacturer Nations Technologies announced a 10-20% price increase for some products from October 1. This new round of price hikes has shifted its focus to mature process nodes (e.g., analog, RF, power, MCUs), partly due to AI computing demand consuming 8-inch wafer capacity. This contrasts with the first half of 2026, when the surge was led by AI memory chips like HBM and server DRAM. Analysts note that the long lead time for expanding analog/power semiconductor capacity (18-24 months) may sustain price resilience in the short term. However, downstream manufacturers' cost tolerance and fluctuating global demand could become constraints, potentially limiting further significant price increases. Companies have linked the hikes to ensuring future supply stability by funding capacity expansion.
