eth

Ether (ETH) is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, primarily used for paying network transaction fees and computational service fees. As the core asset of the Ethereum ecosystem, ETH plays a key role in the execution of smart contracts, the development of decentralized applications (DApps), and decentralized finance (DeFi). The supply of ETH does not have a fixed upper limit, but inflation is regulated through a burning mechanism introduced by the EIP-1559 upgrade. ETH is not only a medium of exchange but is also used for staking to support Ethereum 2.0's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Tether Gold completed an audit by the Big Four accounting firms, with reserve gold valued at 2.246 billion USD

Tether announced that KPMG U.S. has completed an independent audit of the financial statements of TG Commodities, the issuer of Tether Gold (XAU₮), as of December 31, 2025, and issued an unqualified opinion. The audit shows that XAU₮ is fully backed by physical gold. This is the second stablecoin under Tether to complete an audit by one of the Big Four accounting firms, following Tether International, the issuer of USDT, in August of this year.During the audit, KPMG conducted a physical count and verification of each gold bar backing XAU₮, rather than relying solely on confirmations from custodians. As of December 31, 2025, TG Commodities holds 520,089.350 ounces of pure gold, valued at $2.246 billion, corresponding to the issued 520,089.300 XAU₮.The gold is stored in Swiss vaults and meets the London Good Delivery standards, with ownership belonging to the token holders, where each token corresponds to an indivisible ownership of specific gold bars. The company also hires an independent third party to conduct quarterly sampling tests of the gold bars.CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that XAU₮ is expected to become the first true competitor in the gold ETF market, as gold can be settled instantly, with lower custody costs and higher transparency. CFO Simon McWilliams mentioned that auditing the largest and most complex USDT and XAU₮ is paving the way for a comprehensive audit of the entire company.

Tron, Tether, and Chainalysis announced the establishment of a joint initiative called the "Digital Crime Task Force," aimed at identifying and combating illegal activities utilizing USDT on the Tron blockchain. The three parties stated that the task force will collaborate with law enforcement agencies through intelligence gathering to shorten the interval from threat identification to enforcement action, accelerating the asset freezing process before criminals can transfer funds. Tron founder Justin Sun stated that millions rely on USDT on Tron to sustain their livelihoods and businesses, and as digital finance reaches more people, the ability to protect must also be enhanced accordingly.The establishment of the task force comes against the backdrop of rising threats from AI-driven scams and cyberattacks in the cryptocurrency industry. Chainalysis pointed out that by 2025, the profit efficiency of AI-enabled scams will be 4.5 times that of traditional methods, with identity impersonation scams increasing by over 1400% year-on-year. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that criminals are using AI to accelerate their actions, and waiting for victims to report is no longer sufficient; Tether has collaborated with over 360 law enforcement agencies in 73 countries to freeze over $7 billion related to illegal activities.The task force plans to cover threat types including investment and romance scams, hacking attacks, terrorist financing, and North Korea-related cyberattacks. This formation follows the dissolution of a previous alliance: in 2024, Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs established the "T3 Financial Crime Group," which, according to Bloomberg earlier this month, was disbanded due to slow response and lack of coordination among members. Earlier this week, the cross-chain interoperability protocol Across resumed operations after experiencing a domain hijacking, and blockchain infrastructure provider Chainstack also disclosed that it faced an AI-driven security breach last month, leaking customer names, emails, and password hashes.
