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 ILS/PAXG trading pair?
The ILS/PAXG pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp allowing you to purchase PAX Gold (PAXG), a tokenized digital asset, using the Israeli New Shekel (ILS). Each PAXG token is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain that is backed 1:1 by one fine troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar, offering digital gold ownership. -
What are common methods for purchasing PAXG with ILS on a cryptocurrency exchange?
To purchase PAXG with ILS, you typically need to use a regulated crypto platform in Israel that supports this specific fiat gateway. Common steps involve completing KYC/AML compliance, linking an Israeli bank account for a direct bank transfer, or using an Israeli credit/debit card. Once your ILS is deposited, you can place an order on the ILS/PAXG order book. -
What makes PAXG, a gold-backed stablecoin, a unique asset to acquire via an ILS fiat on-ramp?
Unlike typical cryptocurrencies, PAXG offers direct digital ownership of physical gold bullion. It is issued by the Paxos Trust Company and is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). This means the gold reserves are fully audited and held in secure vaults. Using an ILS on-ramp allows for a streamlined purchase of this regulated, tokenized gold without first converting Shekels to another major currency. -
What kind of blockchain transaction fees should I expect when trading ILS for PAXG?
When trading ILS for PAXG, you'll encounter several potential fees. First, the exchange will charge a trading fee. Second, since PAXG is an ERC-20 token, moving it from the exchange to a private digital wallet will incur an Ethereum network 'gas fee', which fluctuates based on network congestion. Paxos also charges small fees for the creation/destruction of tokens on-chain and for transfers, which are typically very low. -
What are the security best practices for holding PAXG after purchasing with ILS?
After a secure trading operation on an exchange, it's highly recommended to transfer your PAXG to a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys. For significant amounts, a hardware wallet offers the best security. Always enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your exchange account. The underlying security of PAXG itself is robust, as the physical gold bullion is held in custody by Paxos Trust in audited, LBMA-approved vaults.
