The underlying gold is audited regularly to ensure that it is fully reserved and can be redeemed for physical gold upon request.

However, PAXG itself is a digital asset, not physical gold, so that it can be bought, sold, and traded on digital asset exchanges, and it is not subject to the same storage and security challenges as physical gold.

What’s the difference between PAXG and gold ETFs?

There are a few key differences between PAX Gold (PAXG) and gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

One of the main differences is that PAXG is backed by physical gold, while most gold ETFs are not.

This means that when you hold PAXG, you have direct ownership of the underlying gold and can redeem your tokens for physical gold if you choose to do so.

In contrast, most gold ETFs are financial products that track the price of gold and do not give you direct ownership of the underlying metal.

Another important difference is that PAXG is a digital asset built on the Ethereum blockchain.

At the same time, gold ETFs are traditional financial instruments traded on stock exchanges.

This means that PAXG can be bought, sold, and traded more efficiently and cost-effectively than gold ETFs and can also be used as collateral for other financial transactions.

Overall, PAXG offers many of the same benefits as gold ETFs but with the added advantages of being backed by physical gold and built on blockchain technology.
