  1. KPMG gives Tether Gold its first Big Four financial audit — this brief
  2. KPMG clears Tether Gold’s 2025 accounts with an unqualified opinion

Tether Gold has completed its first financial audit with a Big Four accounting firm, according to Crypto.news. KPMG U.S. issued an unqualified opinion covering the gold-backed token’s 2025 financial statements, a milestone announced by Tether on November 12. The opinion follows more than five years since Tether Gold launched and comes after a period characterized by limited public financial disclosure. Crypto.news describes KPMG U.S. as the first Big Four auditor to review the token’s financial statements; the supplied coverage does not provide details about the audit’s scope beyond the 2025 statements.

Live market data show Tether Gold trading at $3,884.17, down 1.00% over 24 hours and 3.86% over seven days. Its market capitalization is $3.14 billion. The token therefore entered the audit milestone alongside a decline from its one-week level rather than a market-wide rise.

The wider crypto market was under pressure at the time of the report, with total market capitalization at $2.38 trillion, Bitcoin down 6.33% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index at 20, labeled Extreme Fear. Tether remained stable at $0.999104, with gains of 0.01% over both 24 hours and seven days. DeFiLlama separately verified USDT’s circulating supply at $175.3 billion. For Tether Gold, the next points to watch include the publication of any supporting financial details associated with the opinion and whether the audit helps narrow the disclosure gap surrounding the token. The market data also show how XAUT is performing against a risk-off backdrop, without establishing a connection between the audit and recent price movement.
