Falcon Finance is quietly expanding its ecosystem in a way that feels more natural than experimental. The platform, known for its universal collateral layer, has added tokenized gold to its Staking Vaults — giving users a new way to earn steady returns while still holding an asset the world has trusted for centuries.
The new vault supports Tether Gold (XAUt), a token that represents real, physical gold. Anyone who deposits XAUt into the vault can lock it for 180 days and earn around 3–5% APR. Rewards are paid weekly in USDf, Falcon’s diversified synthetic dollar backed by multiple real assets.
This addition makes XAUt the fourth token in Falcon’s staking lineup, joining ESPORTS, VELVET, and FF. Together, these assets reflect Falcon’s shift toward rewards that are backed by real collateral rather than inflationary emissions.
Artem Tolkachev, Falcon’s Chief RWA Officer, summed it up simply:
“Gold has always been one of the world’s most reliable forms of collateral. Adding XAUt to our vault system helps us build a flexible, multi-asset engine for different types of users. Some want leverage, others just want quiet, stable returns. Vaults are built for the second group — predictable yield without giving up your exposure.”
Falcon first enabled XAUt as collateral for minting USDf back in October 2025, and the new vault feels like a natural next step.
Blending Traditional Value With Onchain Liquidity
Gold has always been seen as a safe haven, and now its tokenized version is becoming one of the fastest-growing segments in the RWA space. By launching the XAUt vault, Falcon is bringing this traditional store of value into a modern, programmable environment.
The design of the vaults is simple on the surface but powerful in practice. Users earn weekly USDf rewards without minting extra tokens or relying on emissions. It feels closer to a fixed-income product than a typical crypto yield farm — and that’s exactly what many users have been looking for.
Growing Focus on Real-World Assets
Falcon is steadily building a reputation as one of the leading RWA-focused protocols. It already supports tokenized stocks, corporate debt, government bills, and now gold — all inside the same collateral engine. This positions Falcon at the center of the broader RWA wave shaping the next chapter of onchain finance.
Moving Toward a Full Multi-Asset Yield Layer
As the market matures and investors look for more stable income products, Falcon’s staking vaults have seen consistent growth. The new XAUt vault adds a fresh category: a commodity-backed asset with the stability of gold and the flexibility of blockchain.
With sovereign bond integrations in progress, a regulated version of USDf being prepared, and more RWA assets expected in early 2026, the launch of the XAUt vault marks another step toward Falcon’s vision of universal, cross-market collateral.
