PAX Gold.

PAX Gold (PAXG) is a digital asset that aims to democratize access to physical gold ownership. Each PAXG token is fully backed by one troy ounce of London Good Delivery gold, held in professional-grade vaults and custodied by Paxos Trust Company. As an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, PAXG offers the divisibility, transferability, and transparency of a cryptocurrency while maintaining the value proposition of a traditional safe-haven asset. Holders of PAXG can redeem their tokens for physical gold, allocated gold, or unallocated gold from Paxos, or convert them into fiat currency, making it a highly liquid and accessible gold investment vehicle. The utility of PAXG extends beyond simple digital gold ownership. It allows investors to gain exposure to gold's price movements without the cumbersome logistics, storage costs, or illiquidity associated with physical gold. Its tokenized nature enables fractional ownership, facilitating smaller investments and easier integration into decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols as collateral or a trading pair. For institutional investors, PAXG offers a regulated and auditable method to diversify portfolios, hedge against inflation, and access gold markets with the speed and efficiency of digital assets, bypassing traditional trading hours and intermediaries. Paxos, as a regulated financial institution, ensures that PAXG adheres to high standards of compliance and security, with regular attestations confirming the 1:1 gold backing.
