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 KRW/PAXG pair and how does it represent digital gold ownership?
The KRW/PAXG pair allows you to purchase PAX Gold (PAXG), an ERC-20 token, using the South Korean Won (KRW). Each PAXG token is a digital asset backed by one fine troy ounce of a physical, LBMA-accredited gold bar. This provides a fiat on-ramp for Korean investors to gain exposure to real gold ownership, secured on the blockchain and managed by the Paxos Trust Company. -
What are the common methods to buy PAXG using a Korean bank transfer?
To buy PAXG with KRW, you typically need to use a regulated Korean cryptocurrency exchange that lists the KRW/PAXG trading pair. The process involves completing KYC/AML compliance, linking your Korean bank account, depositing KRW via a local bank transfer, and then placing an order to purchase the PAXG digital asset on the exchange's order book. -
How does Paxos guarantee the gold backing for each PAXG token?
Paxos Trust Company, a regulated entity, ensures a 1:1 backing by holding a corresponding amount of physical gold in secure, LBMA-approved vaults for every PAXG token in circulation. They provide monthly proof of reserves attestations from third-party auditors, which confirm that the circulating supply of the PAXG ERC-20 token matches the amount of gold held in custody. This makes the token fully redeemable for physical gold. -
Are there on-chain transaction fees associated with PAXG after purchasing it with KRW?
Yes. While the purchase on a Korean exchange has its own trading fees, moving PAXG from the exchange to a private digital wallet involves a blockchain transaction. Since PAXG is an ERC-20 standard token on Ethereum, you will need to pay Ethereum network gas fees (denominated in ETH) to process this on-chain transfer. -
What is a key advantage of holding PAXG over physical gold for a KRW-based investor?
A major advantage is enhanced liquidity and divisibility. PAXG, as a digital asset, can be traded 24/7 on global cryptocurrency exchanges and can be divided into much smaller units than a standard gold bar. This allows for more flexible investment strategies and faster settlement of transactions compared to the logistical complexities of buying, storing, and selling physical gold in Korea.
