The stablecoin issuer notes that the inaugural Alloy by Tether asset is aUSD₮. This will function to track the value of a single dollar. Additionally, aUSD₮ is set to be “over-collatralized,” by Tether Gold and supported by physical gold reserves that are housed in Switzerland. These synthetic dollars will be able to be created using Tether gold as collateral, the press release also noted.
