Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer in the world and one of the largest buyers and holders of physical gold announced that it has engaged one of the ‘Big Four’ accounting firms to conduct the first full independent audit since its founding.
In an announcement published to the company’s website on Tuesday, Tether said the long awaited move would constitute the largest ever inaugural audit in the history of financial markets.
“At a scale rarely seen outside the world’s largest sovereign institutions and encompassing a uniquely complex mix of digital assets, traditional reserves, and tokenised liabilities, this audit marks a defining moment not only for Tether, but for the evolution of modern finance itself,” they wrote. “A full audit by a Big Four firm is among the most rigorous and globally recognized forms of financial assessment. For Tether, the engagement of a Big Four underscores its commitment to providing deep assurance that USD₮ is fully backed, highly liquid, and operated with world class risk management.”
Tether’s U.S. dollar stablecoin, USD₮, currently has a market capitalization of over $184 billion and a global user base of more than 550 million people, and it is one of the cornerstones of the digital asset ecosystem. Meanwhile, Tether’s gold stablecoin, XAU₮, has a total market capitalization of nearly $2.5 billion and is the 32nd largest cryptocurrency in the world.
Currently, attestations are standard practice among all stablecoin issuers, but Tether is moving beyond this benchmark toward a full audit, they said. Given Tether’s scale and its central role in the digital asset ecosystem, the process attracted interest and participation from several audit firms. This level of engagement reflects the significance of the work and underscores why this review is widely viewed as one of the most important and closely examined initiatives the industry has undertaken to date.”
As part of the process, Tether said they will be moving listed securities over the coming days. Importantly, the ongoing independent audit will provide full visibility into the strength and positioning of Tether’s reserves, they added.
Tether’s mission has always been to build trust through action, not promises, said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. Trust is built when institutions are willing to open themselves fully to scrutiny. This audit represents years of work to strengthen our systems so that Tether can meet the highest standards applied in global finance. For the hundreds of millions of people and businesses who rely on USD₮ every day, this audit is not just a compliance exercise; it is about accountability, resilience, and confidence in the infrastructure they depend on.
Simon McWilliams, Chief Financial Officer of Tether, said the Big Four Firm was selected after a competitive process, and the company said they intend to undergo a comprehensive, fully independent audit.
