**In an era where survival is king, how should asset allocation be done?**

Many people are pondering a question: how to hedge inflation risk and cope with the depreciation pressure of the US dollar through gold? This is not an idle worry, but a real asset protection need.

Speaking of gold allocation, there is an increasingly popular option in the crypto world—XAUT (Gold Token) issued by Tether. The latest development is that Tether has launched a new accounting unit called "Scudo," directly lowering the entry barrier from dozens of dollars to just a few dollars. What does this mean for ordinary investors? It means you don't need a large sum of money to gain exposure to real gold.

**Why focus on gold now?**

Looking back to September last year, the spot gold price was still hovering around $3400-$3500 per ounce. But don’t underestimate this number—it’s just the beginning. Many industry institutions are optimistic about gold’s future, with some analysts believing the gold price could surge to $3900 per ounce.

Several factors support the continued rise of gold: first, the uncertainty in US policy remains; second, global ETF inflows into physical gold continue; third, central banks around the world maintain high demand for gold reserves. All these factors provide room for gold prices to rise.

For those aiming to hedge risks through gold assets, gold tokens like XAUT, endorsed by major stablecoin issuers, may be worth serious consideration. After all, allocating real assets in the crypto world is often more convenient than traditional channels.
