“Tether Gold stands out as a gold-backed stablecoin”

ICRYPEX CEO Gökalp İçer said, who made statements about the listing of Tether Gold, said, “Stablecoins are of great importance in the crypto markets, especially for investors who want to reduce risk. Although most of the stablecoins are backed with USD, stablecoins that perform price movements backed by other fiat currencies and commodities are also preferred by ICRYPEX users. Tether Gold is a stablecoin that represents ownership of physical gold, so it makes price movements that are connected to gold prices. ICRYPEX users will now be able to buy and sell Tether Gold and have exposure to the change in gold prices with the simplicity of buying and selling crypto.”
