02 About PAXG

What is PAX Gold?

PAX Gold (PAXG) is a gold-backed cryptocurrency issued by Paxos, launched in 2019. Each token represents ownership of one fine troy ounce of physical gold, letting people hold real, allocated gold on a blockchain.

How does PAX Gold work?

Every PAXG token is backed by one ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar held in professional vaults in London. It is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, so it can be sent, traded and held like any other crypto, and holders can redeem it for the gold itself or its cash value through Paxos.

Why do people buy PAX Gold?

People buy PAXG to gain exposure to the price of gold without storing or insuring metal themselves, to hedge against inflation and market swings, or to move gold value quickly and divisibly on-chain. It pairs the stability of gold with the ease of transfer of crypto.

03 How it works

Three steps. A few minutes. No exchange account.

Step 01

Choose an amount

Enter how much you want to spend in fiat, or how much PAX Gold you want to receive. Onramp converts both ways.

Step 02

Paste your wallet address

Any supported chain wallet: MetaMask, Trust, Ledger, an exchange address, anywhere you hold your keys.

Step 03

Pay with your local method

Pay with the local payment methods available in your country, from bank transfers to cards, and your PAX Gold settles on-chain within minutes. Track every step from one dashboard.

05 The Onramp edge

Why is Onramp the best way to buy PAX Gold?

Onramp was built to make buying PAX Gold as direct as possible. Instead of opening an account on a crypto exchange, funding it, placing a trade and then withdrawing, you do it all in one step: pick an amount, pay with a method you already use, and receive PAXG straight in your wallet. There is no order book to read and no spread games, so the price you see is the price you get.

It is also non-custodial, which means Onramp never holds your PAX Gold for you. The coins move directly to a wallet whose keys only you control, so you are not trusting a third party to keep your funds safe. Every purchase, swap and withdrawal is visible in a single dashboard, making it easy to keep track of what you own.

Speed and cost round it out. Onramp's routing engine picks an efficient path on-chain, so most PAX Gold purchases settle within minutes, and the full fee is shown before you confirm. Combined with local payment support and compliance across the regions it operates in, that makes Onramp a fast, transparent and secure way to buy PAX Gold.
