Bitkub Exchange and Bitkub Academy Announce Strategic Partnership with Tether Gold

Bangkok, Thailand, 17 November 2025 - Bitkub Online Co. Ltd., the operator of Bitkub Exchange, Thailand's leading crypto exchange, and Bitkub Labs Co. Ltd., the provider of Bitkub Academy, a knowledge hub for Web3 technology, announced a collaboration with Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry and renowned innovator behind XAUt, one of the most widely used gold-backed tokens.

Following Bitkub's successful collaborations with Tether in 2023 and 2025, this strategic move between the parties aims to elevate the gold-savvy Thai demographic’s understanding of digitization and tokenization, allowing users to diversify their portfolios with a tangible, time-tested store of value while maintaining constant liquidity through digital channels. Gold, as a means of trading, bartering, and a store of value, has been increasingly adopted in Southeast Asia. Bitkub aims to integrate innovative initiatives, such as the Learn to Earn, BITKUB SUMMIT 2025, Learn & Earn Live Session, and more, to support regionwide knowledge dissemination behind investments in digital gold.

Atthakrit Chimplapibul, Chief Executive Officer of Bitkub Exchange, stated "Bitkub Exchange has worked with Tether for years now. We believe strongly in this growing relationship. Tether has been the driving force behind Thailand’s recognition of stablecoins’ seamless, borderless capabilities. We are extremely excited about this growing collaboration, now extending our efforts into new realms."

Suchart Pavasiriporn, Chief Executive Officer of Bitkub Labs, said "Tether has been amongst the most star-studded partners of Bitkub Academy. Having led over 4 Learn to Earn activities for well over 10,000 unique participants in the past, this collaboration with Tether Gold will build upon the past success and introduce the Tether-crazed Thais to Tether Gold in a more in-depth manner.”

"Over the years, we have successfully collaborated with Bitkub in our efforts around digital assets education and usage in Thailand, reinforcing our mission to ensure the global informed use of digital assets. This new collaboration is significant amid our recent attestation report on Tether Gold and a global move towards real-world asset tokenization. As gold continues to strengthen as a store of value, reflected in its rising price, we are excited to be collaborating with one of Thailand's leading crypto exchanges to help people easily own and manage Gold, further opening a new chapter in financial freedom and eliminating the complexities of owning physical Gold." Said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
