This actually pretty big news. The idea isn't that much of an original one, but the fact that it's backed by Tether, the seemingly teflon covered stable coin that's deflected all attempts on its life in the last few years and the fact it will will be traded on Bitfinex, at least at face value, makes this the best option for crypto traders looking to get exposure to a physical asset like gold.

The fact you can now trade a volitile crypto assest like BTC, into a stable synthetic USD and/or a less volitile (yet still gainable) synthetic Gold asset, with significant liquidity, is actually a massive leap forward in this space.

Tether Gold will be available both as an ERC-20 token and a TRC-20 token.

"The XAU₮ token will represent ownership of one troy fine ounce of physical gold on a specific London Good Delivery gold bar. The company claims the token is the only gold-backed coin that guarantees direct control over the physical gold storage. All XAU₮ tokens will be stored in a vault in Switzerland, guarded with best in class security and anti-threat measures, it said in the announcement."

...there's a Peter Schiff joke somewhere in this for sure...
