About this pair
XAU/ETH: what to know
The XAU/ETH rate shows how much ETH you get for 1 XAU. Right now, 1 XAU buys 1.7365 ETH at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 ETH is worth 0.5759 XAU.
In the short term XAU is driven mainly by real interest rates, the dollar and safe-haven demand, while ETH responds to network activity and crypto-market sentiment.
The code “XAU” combines “X” (supranational) with gold’s chemical symbol Au. Ethereum popularised programmable “smart contracts”.
Because this pair involves a cryptocurrency, expect much higher volatility than typical fiat pairs. Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
