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 HUF/PAXG trading pair?
The HUF/PAXG pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp allowing you to purchase PAX Gold (PAXG), an ERC-20 token, using Hungarian Forint (HUF). Each PAXG token is a digital asset backed by one fine troy ounce of a London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) good delivery gold bar, providing a regulated bridge between the Hungarian fiat currency and physical gold ownership on the Ethereum blockchain. -
What is the process for buying PAXG with a HUF bank transfer?
To buy PAXG with HUF, you need to find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports HUF deposits and lists PAXG. The steps typically involve: 1) Registering and completing KYC/AML compliance on the platform. 2) Depositing HUF via a local Hungarian bank transfer or SEPA payment. 3) Navigating to the HUF/PAXG order book. 4) Placing a buy order for the desired amount of this tokenized gold. 5) Securing your PAXG by withdrawing it to a personal, secure Ethereum digital wallet. -
What are the advantages of buying a gold-backed stablecoin like PAXG instead of physical gold?
PAXG offers several advantages over physical bullion. It provides high divisibility, allowing you to own fractions of a gold bar. As a regulated digital asset, it eliminates storage fees and security concerns associated with physical custody. Furthermore, its nature as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain enables 24/7 trading, instant settlement of blockchain transactions, and easy integration into the broader DeFi ecosystem, something physical gold cannot offer. -
Are there on-chain transaction fees for PAXG tokens?
Yes. While Paxos, the issuer, doesn't charge custody fees, there are two types of on-chain fees. First, when you transfer PAXG on the Ethereum network, a small on-chain transaction fee (0.02%) is deducted by Paxos from the amount of PAXG transferred. Second, like any ERC-20 token transaction, you must also pay a network fee (gas fee) in ETH to the Ethereum miners or validators to process the transaction on the blockchain. -
Is it possible to redeem PAXG for physical gold bars?
Yes, one of the core features of PAX Gold is its redeemability. Holders of PAXG can redeem their tokens for physical gold bars through Paxos. The tokens can be redeemed for LBMA-accredited Good Delivery gold bullion bars. There are minimum redemption amounts, and the process is managed directly via the Paxos platform, ensuring the digital asset maintains its direct link to the underlying physical gold.
