Antalpha leads Aurelion's $150 million financing to establish the first Tether Gold (XAU₮) treasury on Nasdaq
Antalpha is a leading fintech company focused on providing financing, technology, and risk management solutions for institutions in the digital asset industry.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights- Prestige Wealth Inc. (NASDAQ: PWM) plans to change its name to Aurelion Inc. (NASDAQ: AURE) (subject to approval)
- Financing includes a $100 million private placement and $50 million in senior debt financing
- Antalpha strongly supports the Aurelion treasury, exclusively adopting Tether Gold (XAU₮) to enhance resilience and transparency
Antalpha Platform Holding Company (NASDAQ: ANTA) (“Antalpha”), a leading institutional-grade digital asset financing platform, today announced that it has led an investment of approximately $43 million and acquired controlling voting rights in Prestige Wealth Inc. (NASDAQ: PWM; AURE) (“Aurelion” or the “Company”) through participation in a committed private investment in public equity (PIPE). Other participating qualified investors include TG Commodities S.A. de C.V. (“Tether”) and Kiara Capital Holding Limited (“Kiara Capital”), an entity invested in by Antalpha’s management.
Subject to required approvals, the company (NASDAQ: PWM) is expected to be renamed “Aurelion Inc.” and begin trading under the new ticker symbol (NASDAQ: AURE) on Monday, October 13, 2025.
Paul Liang, Chief Financial Officer of Antalpha, said: “We are excited to partner with Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin company, to expand a trusted digital gold ecosystem. When people can walk into a jewelry store and redeem a gold bar using Tether Gold (XAU₮), digital assets become much more accessible. Through the Antalpha Real World Assets Hub (Antalpha RWA Hub), we aim to deliver innovative features and services like this to increase liquidity and product offerings for Tether Gold (XAU₮).”
Paul Liang continued: “Building on the Antalpha Real World Assets Hub, we are proud to lead the creation of the Aurelion treasury—the first pure Tether Gold (XAU₮) treasury on Nasdaq—designed to expand access to tokenized gold, which holds significant strategic importance in the digital asset space. Individuals and institutions alike need a safe haven against inflation, fiat currency depreciation, and cryptocurrency volatility. As a leading digital asset financing platform, strengthening our own balance sheet with Tether Gold (XAU₮) and holding substantial gold reserves enhances collateral resilience, aligning with Antalpha’s shared interests.”
Strategic Significance
Antalpha’s “Reserve 2.0” initiative builds upon a pilot program earlier this year, during which Antalpha acquired $20 million worth of Tether Gold (XAU₮). In early October, we announced a collaboration with Tether to launch the Antalpha Real World Assets Hub to expand access to Tether Gold (XAU₮). The current $43 million PIPE investment led by Antalpha into the Aurelion treasury marks a new phase for Reserve 2.0: scaling Antalpha’s Tether Gold (XAU₮) reserves through institutional-grade infrastructure, governance, and transparency.
For over five thousand years, gold has served as the ultimate value benchmark, providing a natural hedge during macroeconomic fluctuations and geopolitical uncertainty. During global crises and inflation cycles, gold exhibits a negative correlation with the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and acts as a safe haven from crypto volatility, underscoring the value of gold on blockchain.
Tether Gold (XAU₮) is fully backed and redeemable by physical gold bars stored in Switzerland and compliant with London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) standards, addressing these vulnerabilities. Since its launch in 2020, approximately seven tons of gold have been allocated to back Tether Gold (XAU₮), delivering institutional-grade transparency, verifiability, and liquidity. By committing to use Tether Gold (XAU₮) as the sole treasury reserve for Aurelion, Antalpha aims to smooth volatility, maintain liquidity, and strengthen collateral resilience—consistent with Antalpha’s risk-management-first philosophy.
Transaction Highlights
- In the approximately $100 million PIPE financing for Aurelion, Antalpha invested approximately $43 million, with other qualified investors including Kiara Capital investing $6 million and Tether investing $15 million.
- Following the transaction, and assuming PIPE warrants are not exercised, Antalpha holds approximately 32.4% of the issued shares of the company (or about 73.1% of voting rights), while Kiara Capital holds approximately 8.6% of shares (or about 18.9% of voting rights).
- Aurelion intends to continue raising capital to purchase additional Tether Gold (XAU₮), and believes its concentrated ownership structure provides greater stability and smoother operations.
