What is PAXG?

Paxos Gold (PAXG) is a crypto asset backed by real gold reserves held by Paxos, a for-profit company based in New York.

Each PAXG token is redeemable for 1 troy fine ounce of gold custodied in vaults by Paxos and its partners, and its market value is meant to mirror the physical gold it represents.

Paxos developed PAXG as a token on the Ethereum blockchain, meaning it can be exchanged for other crypto assets and secured by owners using cryptographic keys.

To ensure it continually maintains its reserves, Paxos undergoes monthly audits to attest that its supply of PAXG tokens matches the amount of gold it holds. Users can also redeem PAXG for gold bullion bars at any point in time, should they choose too.

Of note, PAXG tokens are divisible up to 18 decimal points, and smaller amounts of gold can be redeemed through a network of physical gold retailers worldwide.

Key Benefits of PAXG:

● Allocated — PAX Gold is backed by physical gold and is allocated down to the serial number of each individual bar. Because PAX Gold operates on the Ethereum blockchain, it is also instantly transferable globally. The allocated ownership moves with the token transfer, which makes trading of allocated gold easier and faster than ever.

● Redeemable — PAX Gold is redeemable in several forms, unlike any gold products available today. Customers can convert their PAX Gold into physical allocated gold, unallocated gold entitlements or fiat. Through Paxos.com, customers can redeem full-sized London Good Delivery gold bars. Through a network of gold retailers, they can convert smaller amounts to physical gold all over the world.

● Programmable — Due to the digital and programmable nature of the smart contract, PAX Gold is easy to convert, trade or use in many other ways. Programmable gold creates significant new functionality in the trading world.

● Regulated — PAX Gold is issued by Paxos Trust Company, a financial institution regulated by the NYDFS. The NYDFS also regulates Paxos’ individual products, ensuring greater customer protections and higher standards of operation. The NYDFS has specifically approved PAX Gold as an authorized and regulated Paxos product.

● Available to Anyone — Given that PAX Gold has a very low investment minimum (0.01 PAXG or ~$15), fractional bar ownership is now possible for retail customers unlike ever before. Any individual or institution can buy PAX Gold.

● Low Fees — PAX Gold has low fees and is a significantly more attractive vehicle for investment as compared to other gold products. There are no storage fees and low creation/destruction fees that are tiered based on volume. For transactions that occur on-chain (transferred via Ethereum), there is a low Paxos transaction fee (0.02%) as well as the usual Ethereum gas fees (typically a few cents).

● Bankruptcy Remote — Since PAX Gold is issued by a state-chartered trust company, customer assets are kept separately from the company’s assets. All gold bars represented by PAX Gold tokens are custodied by Paxos for PAX Gold holders and do not become a part of the company’s estate in the event of the company’s insolvency.

● Decentralized — By operating on an open blockchain, PAX Gold maintains the inherent nature of gold. No single entity or group controls access to the asset or has the ability to control the entire market.

● Easy to Trade — On Paxos’ itBit and other exchanges, PAXG will trade against fiat and digital assets.
