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 is the INR/PAXG pair and how does it represent digital gold ownership?
The INR/PAXG pair is a fiat-to-crypto gateway allowing you to purchase PAX Gold (PAXG), an ERC-20 token, directly with Indian Rupees (INR). Each PAXG token is backed by one fine troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar, held by the Paxos Trust Company. This provides a regulated, digital representation of physical gold ownership on the Ethereum blockchain, combining the stability of gold with the efficiency of a digital asset. -
What are the most common payment methods in India for purchasing PAXG with INR?
To buy PAXG with Indian Rupees, most cryptocurrency exchanges and P2P platforms in India support several local payment methods. The most widely used are UPI (Unified Payments Interface) for instant transfers, followed by IMPS, NEFT/RTGS bank transfers. These fiat on-ramps are designed to facilitate a quick and compliant digital asset purchase after completing the required KYC/AML verification process. -
What are the transaction fees involved when moving PAXG purchased with INR?
When you move PAXG from an exchange to a personal digital wallet, you will incur Ethereum network 'gas fees', as PAXG is an ERC-20 token. These fees are paid in ETH and fluctuate based on network congestion. Paxos itself does not charge on-chain transaction fees for PAXG transfers, only the Ethereum gas fee applies. However, the initial purchase on an exchange will have its own trading fee, separate from the blockchain transaction costs. -
How can I securely store PAXG tokens after purchase via an INR fiat on-ramp?
For optimal security, it's best practice to transfer your PAXG tokens from the cryptocurrency exchange to a personal, non-custodial digital wallet. Since PAXG is an ERC-20 token, any Ethereum-compatible wallet, such as a hardware wallet (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) or a reputable software wallet (e.g., MetaMask), will work. This gives you full control over your private keys and ensures your digital gold ownership is not dependent on a third party. -
What regulatory body oversees PAX Gold, providing trust for INR investors?
PAX Gold (PAXG) and its issuer, Paxos Trust Company, are regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). This is a significant factor for investors, as it ensures that the company adheres to strict standards for asset custody, reserves, and security. For an INR investor, this NYDFS regulation provides a layer of trust and verification that the PAXG token is genuinely backed by physical, allocated London Good Delivery gold.
