Paxos Gold (PAXG) is a cryptocurrency supported by real gold reserves stored by the company Paxos.
Running on the Ethereum Blockchain, PAXG is equivalent to 1 troy ounce of gold, offering token holders the opportunity to digitally invest in gold and withdraw it as physical gold when needed. In this article, you can find the answers to two burning questions: What is Paxos Gold (PAXG) and how to buy Paxos Gold (PAXG) with TRY.
Paxos Gold (PAXG) – What is it?
Paxos Gold is a cryptocurrency asset issued by the New York-based for-profit company Paxos, backed by real gold reserves. Each PAXG token can be exchanged for 1 troy ounce of pure gold stored in vaults by Paxos and its partners. The market value of this token is designed to reflect the value of the physical gold it represents.
PAXG was developed on the Ethereum Blockchain, making it tradable with other cryptocurrencies and securable by cryptographic keys by its owners. Paxos conducts monthly audits to verify that PAXG tokens correspond to gold reserves. Users can exchange PAXG tokens for gold bars at any time. PAXG tokens can be divided into up to 18 decimal places, and smaller amounts of gold can be withdrawn through a global network of physical gold retailers.
Operating on the Ethereum Blockchain, Paxos Gold processes transactions according to smart contract rules. The company charges a small fee (approximately 0.02%) for creating and destroying PAXG tokens. Additionally, users incur on-chain fees when transferring their tokens on Ethereum. Paxos tracks every PAXG transaction using third-party analysis tools and conducts surveillance to investigate potential fraud and money laundering cases.
Regular smart contract audits are conducted, and developers review the code for errors and security vulnerabilities. Paxos’ rigorous audit and security measures aim to ensure the safety of users’ assets.

You will be required to scan the QR code that appears using your phone’s camera and proceed with the process on your phone. If you are unable to scan the QR code, you can click on the “Copy URL” option to have the verification link sent to your phone via SMS.

When taking photos of the front and back of your ID card or driver’s license, ensure that the images are clear and that the information in the photos is easily readable.
Next, proceed by touching the “Selfie” option. Your phone’s front camera will open, and you will need to scan your face. Make sure your face fills the camera area as much as possible once the camera is open.
