What is PAX Gold

PAX Gold (PAXG) is a token for physical gold issued by the US company Paxos. It launched in September 2019 with approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). Paxos’s trust company has since moved under federal supervision and now operates as a national trust bank overseen by the OCC. Each PAXG represents one fine troy ounce (about 31.1 grams) of gold in London Good Delivery bars.

The gold sits in professional vaults in London with third-party custodians. Tokens are minted when metal enters the reserve and burned when it leaves, and Paxos publishes monthly reserve attestations. By entering a wallet address, a holder can see the serial number, fineness and weight of the bars behind their tokens. PAXG runs on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, and in 2026 it also arrived on Solana and Base. Paxos currently charges no gold storage fees.

People use PAXG to hold gold in digital form: the token divides down to 18 decimal places, moves at any hour and can serve as collateral in DeFi and on exchanges. Through a Paxos account, tokens can be swapped for dollars, unallocated gold or physical bars. Unlike a stablecoin, PAXG tracks the price of gold rather than the dollar. Compared with a gold ETF, it can be transferred around the clock and is tied to specific bars in a vault.

What it’s used for

  • holding gold in digital form in small fractions
  • collateral in DeFi and on crypto exchanges
  • conversion to dollars, unallocated gold or bars through Paxos

Risks

  • reliance on Paxos, the London custodians and reserve reports: holders trust that the gold is there and that the company will honor redemptions
  • the PAXG contract lets Paxos freeze an address, wipe a frozen balance and pause all transfers, and the contract itself is upgradeable
  • the price follows gold and can move sharply, and direct redemption for metal is only possible in whole bars weighing 350 to 430 ounces

Contract addresses

Check the contract address before you buy or send: fake tokens copy the name and ticker, but their address is different.
