From September 1 to 20, 2026, Changelly is holding its biggest giveaway of the year with world-leading stablecoin provider Tether. It’s your chance to be among 100 lucky winners and get a share of $20,000 in XAUT.
Every swap you make into USDT or Tether Gold (XAUT) on Changelly enters you into the Golden Boost Campaign. And when you swap $50 or more into XAUT, you earn double the entries.

Why Gold, and Why Now
Gold has held its value for centuries as the asset people turn to when everything else feels shaky. Tether already runs the world’s leading stablecoin, USDT, and Tether Gold applies that same idea to gold: each XAUT token is backed 1:1 by real gold, giving you a steadier way to hold value on-chain.
Here’s what that looks like in practice. One XAUT equals one fine troy ounce of physical gold, held in an LBMA-certified bar in a Swiss vault. You don’t need to buy a whole bar: XAUT splits down to 0.000001 troy ounces, so you can own a slice that fits your budget. It runs as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain, and you can swap into it on Changelly in a few clicks.
USDT and XAUT cover two different needs. USDT gives you dollar-pegged liquidity for everyday use. XAUT gives you direct exposure to gold without leaving crypto. On a broader perspective, a slice of gold becomes part of your regular portfolio and balances it.
How to Join the Golden Boost Campaign
Joining takes three steps:
- Log in to your Changelly account, or sign up if you haven’t already.
- Swap $50 or more of any supported crypto into USDT or XAUT.
- Earn entries: 1 for every qualifying USDT swap, 2 for every qualifying XAUT swap.
Swap as many times as you like, there’s no limit. Every extra swap means more entries and a better shot at winning. Just keep in mind: cross-chain USDT swaps don’t count, and neither do failed, cancelled, or reversed transactions.
The campaign isn’t available if you’re based in the US, UK, Singapore, or Canada. Check the full Terms & Conditions for the complete list of eligibility rules.
How the $20,000 Prize Pool Works
Once the campaign wraps, 100 winners will split $20,000 in XAUT, provided by Tether. Your potential reward scales with how much you swapped. The more you put toward qualifying swaps, the bigger your possible chance.
Winners get picked and emailed within 7 days after the campaign ends, at the address tied to their Changelly account. You’ll then have 3 days to reply with a wallet address that can receive XAUT, and rewards go out within 7 days after that. Each winner can receive only one reward.
