About PAX Gold

PAX Gold (PAXG) is a digital asset where each token represents one troy ounce of physical gold stored in Brink's vaults in London. Issued by Paxos Trust Company (a regulated US financial institution), PAXG gives investors the benefits of owning gold — inflation hedge, store of value — with the portability and divisibility of cryptocurrency. PAXG is 1:1 redeemable for physical gold through Paxos. Owners can fractionalize gold ownership (buy 0.01 oz), transfer value globally in seconds, and use gold as collateral in DeFi without taking physical delivery. PAXG is a regulated, audited product with monthly attestations of gold reserves.
