Gold is the original settlement asset, and on U.CASH it is a first-class token: PAX Gold and Tether Gold each stand for one troy ounce of allocated, vault-stored bullion, transferable on-chain.
Rails settle it at checkout; pegged tokens settle it on-chain. Both live on the same non-custodial U.CASH checkout.
No bank rail settles bullion at a checkout. The gold tokens ARE the rail: accept PAX Gold or Tether Gold and the ounce settles to your wallet with crypto finality.
Two ounce-pegged tokens trade on U.CASH: PAX Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT), each backed 1:1 by allocated gold and redeemable for the metal by the issuer.
Pegged 1:1 to the gold (troy ounce). Accept it, swap it, hold it non-custodially.
Pegged 1:1 to the gold (troy ounce). Accept it, swap it, hold it non-custodially.
A store, a payment link, or an embedded checkout on U.CASH Pay lists what buyers can pay with. Cards through your own processor account and the crypto assets cover checkout where no dedicated local rail serves the currency.
Your prices stay denominated in Gold (troy ounce). The checkout derives the crypto amount live at payment time when a buyer pays with a digital asset, and the XAU figure is what your ledger reconciles against.
Card buyers settle through your processor, and buyers paying the XAU-pegged token settle on-chain to your wallet. Each payment arrives with its reference and transaction detail in the record.
Hold receipts, convert them on a schedule, or pay out through the rails that reach your bank. Nothing about the currency choice locks the treasury path.
Reach, flow mode, and what each rail asks of the buyer, from the rail registry.
The local-coverage picture for Gold (troy ounce) is thin in the current rail set, which is normal for smaller corridors: coverage concentrates where the banking infrastructure supports automated flows. That does not close the currency. SWIFT reaches essentially every XAU banking system for the bank-to-bank path, card processors serve XAU buyers globally through your own merchant account, and the XAU-pegged tokens settle the currency on-chain with no bank in the loop at all. Composing those paths is precisely what a multi-rail checkout is for.
2 XAU-pegged tokens trade on U.CASH: PAXG, XAUt. They settle as standard tokens on their chains, so a Gold (troy ounce) receipt can arrive on-chain without any bank in the loop, and the peg holds the token and the currency equivalent for accounting. Deeper families also give checkout redundancy: any member serves a XAU corridor.
Bank rails for the checkout, pegged tokens for on-chain settlement, one non-custodial platform.
