| 5 | 5 | ## What Is Pax Gold (PAXG)? |
| 6 | 6 | |
| 7 | 7 | Pax Gold (PAXG) is a gold-backed cryptocurrency, launched by the creators of Paxos Standard (PAX) in September 2019. As an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token operating on the Ethereum [blockchain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain), Pax Gold is tradeable on a large variety of exchanges and has become an accessible way for traders to start investing in gold. |

| 9 | 9 | The main goal behind Pax Gold is to make gold more tradable, as the physical commodity is not easily divisible or flexible in terms of transport. This is why [Paxos Standard](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/paxos-standard/) decided to create a cryptocurrency entirely backed by gold. According to the [official whitepaper](https://www.paxos.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/PAX-Gold-Whitepaper.pdf), Pax Gold was created to allow investors to buy indefinitely small amounts of gold through the cryptocurrency, thus virtually eliminating minimum buy limits for the commodity. |
