PAX Gold is a token issued by Paxos as the ownership certificate of one fine troy ounce (t oz) of a London Good Delivery (LGD) gold bar. As LGD bars usually have variable weights, Paxos specifically states that their gold holdings are selected with care so that each bar weighs 400 oz.
PAXG can be considered a stablecoin, whose value is pegged to the physical asset of gold rather than fiat currencies. Therefore it is Paxos’ responsibility to make sure that the supply of PAXG equals the amount of gold in custody. However, PAXG is ‘highly accessible’, highly divisible and much more liquid than an actual gold bar. Institutional owners can also exchange PAXG for the US-Dollar at current gold prices.
PAXG has a current circulating supply of 304,603 tokens (as of October 13, 2022) according to data by Messari. This number represents the number of PAXG tokens ready to be exchanged immediately, that is, there can be other PAXG held by investors as well. PAXG has no hard cap because new tokens can be minted as long as Paxos accumulates enough physical LGD bars to back the new ones.
