Comprar PAX Gold (PAXG) en Canada

PAX Gold, often referred to by its ticker PAXG, is a digital asset that bridges the gap between traditional precious metals and blockchain technology. It is a gold-backed cryptocurrency where each individual token represents legal ownership of one fine troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar. This physical gold is stored in high-security, professional vaults such as those operated by Brink's in London. The project was launched in 2019 by Paxos Trust Company, a financial institution and technology firm based in New York. One of the defining characteristics of PAX Gold is its regulatory status. Paxos is a chartered trust company overseen by the New York State Department of Financial Services. This oversight requires the company to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the tokens in circulation and the physical gold held in reserve. To ensure transparency and trust, the project undergoes regular audits. Independent third-party accounting firms perform monthly attestations to verify that the amount of gold in the vaults matches the total supply of tokens. Additionally, holders can use a lookup tool on the official website to view the specific serial numbers and physical characteristics of the gold bars associated with their digital holdings. Technically, PAX Gold is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain. This technical choice allows the asset to be compatible with a wide range of digital wallets, decentralized finance protocols, and blockchain applications. Because it is a digital token, it offers several advantages over physical gold ownership. It is highly divisible, allowing individuals to own and transfer small fractions of gold. It also eliminates the logistical challenges typically associated with physical gold, such as the need for specialized storage, insurance, and physical transportation. The primary use cases for PAX Gold include serving as a digital store of value and a tool for diversifying portfolios with a traditional asset class. Within the Web3 ecosystem, it is often used as collateral in lending and borrowing platforms or as a stable asset for trading. Furthermore, the project allows for redemption, meaning qualified holders can convert their digital tokens into physical gold bars, unallocated gold, or fiat currency through the Paxos platform. By tokenizing a physical commodity, the project aims to make gold ownership more accessible and liquid for a global audience. Aprende más
