Is Pax gold Crypto?

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.

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.
