About
PAX Gold (PAXG)

PAX Gold (PAXG) is a regulated digital asset that represents direct ownership of physical gold, bridging the gap between traditional commodities and modern blockchain technology. As an ERC-20 token operating on the Ethereum blockchain, each PAXG token is backed on a 1:1 basis by one fine troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar. This tokenization of gold makes ownership more accessible, divisible, and easily transferable on a global, peer-to-peer basis, overcoming the logistical challenges of physical bullion. The project is a key player in the growing sector of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, providing on-chain exposure to a historically stable store of value.

A core distinguishing feature of PAXG is its regulatory oversight. Issued by the Paxos Trust Company, it is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), offering holders a high degree of trust and cryptographic security. The underlying gold is securely stored in professional vaults, and the reserves are subject to regular third-party audits to confirm the 1:1 backing. Furthermore, PAXG is unique in its redeemability; owners of the digital asset can redeem their tokens for physical gold bars from bullion retailers, a feature that solidly links its on-chain value to its real-world counterpart.

Within the crypto ecosystem, PAXG serves multiple functions. It acts as a stable value asset, providing a reliable hedge against the market volatility common to other digital currencies. Its compatibility with the Ethereum network allows for seamless integration into various DeFi applications, where it can be used as collateral for loans, for lending, or in liquidity pools. This utility solidifies PAXG's position as a foundational instrument for investors seeking exposure to gold with the efficiency of a digital ledger.

Frequently asked questions

  • What exactly is the HKD/PAXG trading pair and how does it represent gold ownership?

    The HKD/PAXG pair represents the exchange rate between the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) and PAX Gold (PAXG). PAXG is a regulated, asset-backed digital token, specifically an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, where each token represents one fine troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar. This allows investors to gain exposure to physical gold through a divisible and easily transferable digital asset, using HKD as the fiat on-ramp.
  • What are the common methods to deposit HKD for purchasing PAXG on a crypto exchange?

    To purchase PAXG with HKD, you first need to fund your account on a cryptocurrency exchange that supports this fiat on-ramp. The most common deposit methods for Hong Kong Dollars include local bank transfers and utilizing Hong Kong's Faster Payment System (FPS). These methods are typically preferred for their speed and low transaction costs. After a successful HKD deposit and KYC/AML compliance check, you can proceed to the spot market to trade for PAXG.
  • What makes PAXG, regulated by the NYDFS, a unique digital asset compared to other gold-backed tokens?

    PAX Gold's key differentiator is its regulatory status. It is issued by the Paxos Trust Company, a firm chartered and regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). This ensures that the asset is fully backed 1:1 with physical, allocated gold stored in secure vaults. Furthermore, token holders can redeem their PAXG for physical London Good Delivery gold bars, a feature not commonly available with other gold-backed tokens. This regulatory oversight provides a higher degree of trust and security.
  • Are there on-chain transaction fees when I move my PAXG to a digital wallet?

    Yes, while Paxos itself does not charge any fees for on-chain transactions or for holding PAXG in a digital wallet, you are responsible for paying the Ethereum network's transaction fees, known as 'gas fees'. Since PAXG is an ERC-20 token, any transfer on the Ethereum blockchain requires gas to be paid in Ether (ETH) to miners/validators for processing the transaction. These fees fluctuate based on network congestion.
  • How can I verify that my PAXG tokens are actually backed by physical gold?

    Paxos provides a high level of transparency for verifying gold reserves. Any PAXG holder can look up the serial number, brand, gross weight, and purity of their allocated gold bars using the PAXG lookup tool on the Paxos website. Additionally, a top-tier U.S. auditing firm conducts monthly attestations to confirm that the total supply of PAXG tokens corresponds 1:1 with the troy ounces of gold held in custody by Paxos Trust Company.
