Is Pax gold Crypto?

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.

Cascarilla says PAX Gold will make money by charging a small premium on the gold, and also by charging a “tokenization” fee at time of initial purchase that will be 1% of the purchase of a single ounce , but that will drop significantly for larger purchases.

Pax Gold (PAXG) is a gold-backed cryptocurrency , launched by the creators of Paxos Standard (PAX) in September 2019. As an ERC-20 token operating on the Ethereum blockchain, Pax Gold is tradeable on a large variety of exchanges and has become an accessible way for traders to start investing in gold.
