$XAU / $GLD

The code

XAU

ISO 4217. The same three letters a dealing desk uses for gold. Every gold meme until now borrowed the name and sat next to ETH. This one keeps the code and sits next to the metal.

The trust

GLD

SPDR Gold Shares. Tracks bullion, minus fees. First U.S. gold ETF, 2004. On this chain it is a token. On this pair it is the currency of the whole launch.

$XAU is a memecoin on Robinhood Chain. It is not SPDR Gold Shares, not the SPDR Gold Trust, and not an interest in allocated bullion. Holding $XAU is not holding gold. Pairing against $GLD prices the meme in a gold ETF token. It does not back, collateralize, or redeem the meme for bars.
