what's paxos?

Paxos is a regulated blockchain infrastructure provider that issues PAX Gold (PAXG), a cryptocurrency token backed by physical gold stored in LBMA-accredited vaults. Each PAXG token represents one fine troy ounce of gold, enabling users to own and trade gold digitally with transparency and low costs. The platform is overseen by the New York State Department of Financial Services, with monthly audits ensuring the gold reserves match the circulating supply. PAXG offers advantages over traditional gold investments, including fractional ownership, easy transferability on blockchain, and no storage fees for holders. It integrates with major crypto exchanges and wallets for seamless trading and redemption options.
