100% So many crypto people have rotated into metals, it’s not news. They are trying to hype up PAXG.
It's also considering the trouble of actually owning physical gold amidst geopolitical tension. Cross-border logistics, dealing with storage fees, or the need to liquidate when you need to PAXG solves all of that. You get 1:1 backed London Good Delivery gold that you can move in seconds, trade 24/7, and hold in your own wallet. For traditional investors who still want gold exposure but are warming up to crypto, tokenized gold is probably the easiest entry point.
Hold up, gold tokens are a real thing? Completely missed this. Is PAXG on Ethereum mainnet? And what's the best place to swap for it without dealing with exchanges?
Wait, you can buy actual gold as a token? Never looked into this before. What chain is PAXG on , Ethereum? And where would someone swap for it without dealing with CEX stuff?
tldr; Gold prices reached a one-month high in March 2026 due to geopolitical tensions, driving increased interest in tokenized gold assets like XAUT and PAXG. Crypto whales and institutional investors shifted funds from Ethereum and stablecoins into gold-backed tokens, with trading volumes exceeding $1 billion. This trend reflects a growing preference for alternative stores of value within the crypto market, offering price stability amid digital asset volatility. The tokenized gold market cap now exceeds $6 billion, signaling strong investor demand. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I think it's tied more to inflation. If the price of oil goes up, the price of EVERYTHING goes up. In order to preserve wealth, people typically look to safe havens like gold. So I would expect gold prices to climb when markets open. Also, when the attacks first happened, PAXG de pegged and went as high as $5,500 on Saturday...but has since returned to about $5,300.
For actual digital gold there is PAXG. It is kind of funny though how all the boomers who got scammed by buying Gold with high premiums off of ads they saw on Fox News and the like ended up doing well because the dollar fell so much harder.
Open PAXG and BTC on the same chart and look at yesterday+today.
the PAXG short is the one that's messing with me honestly. $136M against gold during extreme fear? either they're hedging something massive or they really think risk-on is coming

Fear & Greed is at 11. Extreme Fear. But the biggest wallets on Hyperliquid aren't acting scared at all. BTC at $68.3k: $814M in whale longs vs $374M shorts. Net accumulating. The sharpest wallet on the board — 100% accuracy across 8 tracked calls — is long BTC right now. Funding just went negative on...Binance, shorts paying longs. ETH at $2,082: $344M shorts vs $246M longs. Whales are net short while retail long/short ratio is 1.44. Classic divergence. They're fading retail on this one.SOL: Quietly the most one-sided bet — $156M long vs $44M short. Nobody's talking about it. PAXG (gold): This is the one that caught me off guard. $136M short against $3.5M long. That's basically max bearish. Whales are dumping gold and going risk-on into crypto while the market is at Extreme Fear. Make that make sense. wallet has $108M in realized PnL across 134 active positions. Another has $67M PnL running a $21.8M gold short alongside an $8.2M BTC long. One Not calling direction. But when sentiment is at 11 and the smartest money on-chain is loading BTC and shorting gold, that's not random....I track it on [swarmintellect.com](http://swarmintellect.com) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Buy tokenized gold (PAXG or XAUT). Some exchanges have them. No APY, but it's decorelated from the bear market.
Self-custody protects you from banks, but PAXG and USDC still carry issuer and regulatory risk, they’re safer than a local bank in your case, maybe, but they’re not risk-free
What kind of token is PAXG (ERC-20) and what is it built on? Oh yes, Ethereum.
you mean gold or PAXG itself?
tldr; Eric Voorhees, an early Bitcoin advocate, has purchased $6.81 million in tokenized gold (PAXG), reflecting a growing trend of crypto investors turning to traditional safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, Tether has amassed $23 billion in physical gold reserves, surpassing the holdings of several governments. These moves highlight the increasing convergence of digital assets and traditional commodities, as tokenized gold gains traction amid Bitcoin's price volatility and gold's steady rise to near-record highs. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
holding PAXG and USDC in a self-custody wallet is a solid move for your situation, since you control the keys and no third party can freeze your assets. for long-term storage, consider using a hardware wallet for the seed phrase and maybe diversify a bit with a small allocation to BTC as a hedge. i used a similar set up to preserve value before moving countries, keeping most in stablecoins and a portion in PAXG, managed everything through alicebob wallet for the convenience and security.
So how do you plan to buy USDC/EURC/PAXG without those massive cuts?
Unless you are talking tens of thousands of USD you can hide gold. If it is in a form recognizable where you are also easy to bribe with in a pinch. Otherwise PAXG is not a bad option.
In your situation where government seizure of bank accounts is a real threat, then yes, USDC + PAXG is quite safe as long as you're very careful with your private key. Just don't expect to be immune to government seizure. Unless you think the authorities will be convinced by the old "I lost my wallet in a boating accident" excuse. They might not be able to get your money from your wallet without your "permission," but will you really deny them that if push comes to shove?

Same, PAXG is well known.Tether Gold is out there as well.
You are about to buy a 'Paper Rock' from a startup that might not exist in 2 years. Tokenized Gold is the only mature market, PAX Gold (PAXG) is the only one I would touch. It is regulated by the (Financial Services) and you can legally audit them. If you want Gold, buy PAXG. If you want Uranium or Platinum, buy a Stock Market ETF. At least the SEC ensures the physical metal actually exists.
I already bought at the beginning of the bear run namely USDC, PAXG and XAUT. But if you mean what im going to buy after the bear market it's going to be BTC, XRP and HYPE.
Post is by: B_Boy_Breaker and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/Monero/comments/1qttvxu/the_modern_crypto_trap_why_i_believe_xmr_is_the/ **TL;DR:** The "Digital Gold" promise of BTC is failing as physical gold outperforms it in stability. Meanwhile, mining has become a "Big Fish" game for corporations/governments, and KYC exchanges have turned crypto into "Bank 2.0." While most coins are "glass houses" where everyone can track your money, Monero (XMR) is the only one maintaining the original cypherpunk vision of privacy and decentralization—which is exactly why the system is trying to delist it. **----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------** **Disclaimer:** *I am not a financial adviser. These are my personal thoughts and an honest vision of the current market state. Let’s discuss.* # 1. The Digital Gold Narrative Has Shifted For years, we were told BTC is "Digital Gold." But look at the real-world performance in 2025–2026. **Actual physical gold** recently broke $5,000/oz, acting as a true shield during global instability. Meanwhile, BTC has become a "Wall Street Asset"—highly sensitive to interest rates and ETF flows. It hasn't failed as an investment, but it *has* failed to be the independent, stable alternative to the system we were promised. # 2. The Mining Centralization "Big Fish" The dream of "one CPU, one vote" is dead for most. * **BTC/ASIC Centralization:** Governments and massive industrial mining pools now control the hashrate. The "small miners" who were supposed to be the backbone of the network have been squeezed out because they aren't profitable. * **Market Manipulation:** When a few "Big Fish" (institutions and gov-linked pools) control the supply and the hashrate, they control the price. They eat the small retail investors by manipulating market movements with massive buy/sell walls. # 3. The KYC Iron Curtain The freedom to send and receive money has become a joke. Centralized exchanges (CEXs) have turned crypto into **"Bank 2.0."** * You cannot benefit from your own coins without handing over your ID, location, and a biometric scan. * KYC doesn't just "verify" you; it links your sovereign wealth to a government database, allowing them to freeze or track your assets just like a traditional bank. # 4. The "Glass House" Privacy Lie We were promised privacy, but we got a public ledger where every transaction is a permanent record for the world to see. Blockchain forensics (Chainalysis/Elliptic) have made BTC and other "transparent" coins a surveillance officer's dream. # The Monero Difference: A New Era? This is why I’ve been looking at the few projects that actually kept the promise. * **Monero (XMR) vs. The Delisting War:** In late 2024 and 2025, we saw major exchanges like Kraken and Binance delist XMR in Europe (EEA) due to MiCA regulations. Why? Because Monero **actually works**. It’s the only coin that regulators are truly afraid of because they *can’t* see inside the "Glass House." * **Mining for the People:** While others moved to ASICs, Monero’s **RandomX** keeps mining accessible to regular people with CPUs. With the rise of **P2Pool**, the community is fighting back against the centralization that killed BTC’s independence. * **A Stable Alternative:** Interestingly, assets like **PAX Gold (PAXG)** have shown that people still crave the stability of gold. But while PAXG gives you gold, only **Monero** gives you the "Cash" experience—fungible, private, and peer-to-peer. **Conclusion:** I believe we are entering a new era. The "number go up" phase of centralized crypto is being replaced by a "utility and freedom" phase. Monero isn't just another coin; it’s a possible blueprint for what crypto was always supposed to be before the banks and big fish moved in. **What are your thoughts? Is the "transparency" of the top 10 coins a feature or a fatal flaw?** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

A rejection from the current level means exactly the same structure as 2021-2022 but this time the crash is much bigger until \~60K if this happens, Crypto is officially dead, until we see something new "Similar to XMR/PAXG" https://preview.redd.it/s5crqlaoi4hg1.png?width=2032&format=png&auto=webp&s=302fb6740922716c70d341e99fffd087bd51ce07
Post is by: 0xDaisypto and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1qsekgw/physical_gold_vs_tokenized_gold_am_i_overthinking/ Been holding physical gold for a few years now. Simple stuff. Buy it, store it, forget about it. Full control, no counterparty risk. But honestly the spreads when buying, storage fees, and trying to sell quickly when I actually need to... it's a pain. Lately I've been looking into tokenized gold like PAXG and XAUT. Same gold exposure but trades 24/7 on crypto exchanges. I've been using Bitunix for some of my crypto and noticed they list these. No bank hours, no waiting, just in and out whenever. But here's where I'm stuck: 1. Physical gold gives you maximum ownership. Zero trust needed. But low flexibility when you need to move. 2. Tokenized gold gives you flexibility and liquidity. But you're trusting custodians and the whole system behind it. For someone thinking truly long term like 10+ years, does the convenience of digital gold outweigh the whole "if you don't hold it you don't own it" argument? Or is the move to just split it. Physical for core holdings, tokenized for tactical moves? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

What the hell are you talking about? It's the other way around. You can even convert your PAXG for real gold if you want
PAXG is not safe and can be heavily manipulated, go for XAU instead
Quite tempted to swap a bit of my USDC for PAXG on this dip
The real digital gold is PAXG
No, I literally mean tokenized gold like PAXG
This. Can even trade PAXG options on Everstrike.
When the US dollar is weakening people start turning to gold to hedge against the decline in the dollar's value. Why not do the same thing in crypto, shift from USDC to PAXG or XAUT which is the digital equivalent.
Sold my modest crypto portfolio and bought PAXG around 4600$ few days ago.
Selling the PAXG was easy, exchanging it for physical gold is almost impossible
Why did you have hard time selling the PAXG??
i wouldn't have thought about holding PAXG really, i wonder who did that
All in all the major difference with the last bear market is the USD weakness. In 2022 my USDC was pumping against the EUR. This cycle PAXG was the stablecoin to pick
There’s PAXG which would be tokenized gold in a way, right? Supposedly they hold gold to back all the tokens sold.
PAXG or XAUT are nice to keep simply because they are pegged to gold. PAXG is by Paxos (PayPal's stablecoin processor). XAUT is by Tether. But if you can buy physical gold, get that instead. PAXG lost its peg briefly during the October price crash.
Someone suggested to convert 5% of my portfolio to PAXG. Which sound fair and square. I would say 10-15% also makes sense. Better start somewhere.
Similar situation to you. I kept waiting for the pullback, blinked and it never came. Sold all my crypto because we're in a bear market till bottom in October. Now thinking about DCAing everything into PAXG. I'm just not sure over how long do that. 3 months? 6 months? All of my funds? Half?
You want to wait for your crypto to go back into the green? I think it depends on how well you can time the next crypto bounce. Just sell a bit at a time in order to buy PAXG. If you are in some really bad alt coins, you will just have to eat the loss.
Thanks for your answer. In your opinion, does it matter to time my assets conversion with the market? Meaning waiting for most of my assets to be in the green to convert 5% of them to PAXG vs just converting them right away (even tho today (and probably tomorrow as well) is in the red)
Yeah, I don't carry physical gold. I just hold PAXG on Cryptomus — one click to cash out to fiat, convert to another crypto, or top up a card

I’m aware that it is never too late to start investing into something. But, when it comes to PAX Gold, I refrained myself from buying some tokens as I considered it wouldn’t make sense vs buying the real thing. Back in August, I sold the very small amount of PAXG that I had back then. Today, Gold and PAXG are through the roof. Is this a bubble ready to pop? Or just hold being gold? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I always rotated to PAXG. Over $5030 right now
I sold my crypto fo stablecoins already. For me were clearly in a bear market as heading to 40k by October. I'm thinking of throwing it all into PAXG (I wish there was an equivalent high liquidity silver token). Anyone with me?
>USDC - doing shit I swapped the majority of my USDC to EURC and a bit of PAXG for this reason
You mean crypto like PAXG? Or ETFs like GOLY?
Just swapped 60% of my USDC for mostly EURC and a bit of PAXG. I'll reassess what to do with the rest in a couple of weeks
With this FED’s turmoil I should probably swap my USDC for something else. EURC? PAXG? BTC? That’s a significant attack on the USD. All markets will be shaken up in the coming weeks
I have mixed outlook for 2026, at least for Canada/US markets. Also, the EU seems to be forging ahead with their own version of a digital euro with no transaction fees...which could be concerning for crypto since crypto could be the competition, or an obstacle. I could see the EU regulating or banning crypto all together until it's no longer relevant there. The trump administration remains very pro crypto, and if the macroeconomic situation improves in 2026, well that would be great for all crypto. Also, if the war rhetoric could quiet down, that'd be good too. Peace in Ukraine would be a welcome thing for all markets. Tldr; I'm cautious. I converted all my alts (ie. Anything except BTC and ETH) into PAXG and USDC a few months ago...it's done well. I'm sure Bitcoin and Ether could drop further on bad news, but at this price point I feel the upside potential to be decent. I'll buy the dips.
PAXG is tokenized gold and has actual serial numbered bars attached to them. And there is also some silver ones like TXAG.
That's a fair point, I've seen PAXG trade at a premium before as well during strong upside moves when demand spikes. That part makes sense.What stood out to me here is the downside move on futures. This wasn't a slow repricing or sustained discount, but a very fast wick that was enough to trigger liquidations, while spot gold and XAUT barely moved. That makes me think it's less about normal premium/discount behavior and more about thin order books combined with how last price or mark price is calculated on that exchange. In spot markets I'd expect deviations, but in leveraged futures this kind of brief divergence feels like an important risk factor to be aware of.
I'm pretty sure I saw PAXG trade like 20-30 EUR higher than gold (and XAUT) a few months ago (maybe more like 12 months) when gold was moving up fast and people were rushing to buy PAXG. So I'd assume your guess about it being result of low liquidity might be correct.
Need a PAXG/BTC LP...
In the last year, USDT lost over 15% of its value relative to EURC and more than 40% relative to XAUT/PAXG.
Go ahead and hold only BTC if that’s what you want. Go ahead and only hold NVDA stock while you’re at it. I also hold PAXG, which is actually the only crypto “token” I hold.
Now if we revisit this conversation looking at the price of PAXG/Gold vs the entire crypto market, this is exactly why I rotated when i did. I got rekt from November 1st to the 17th hoping for the market to reclaim bullish technicals, when that failed I jumped out.
This is my personal strategy, not any advice and not trying to sound superior to anyone… With that being said, for the last 3/4 weeks I’ve gone short on thursdays, closing out positions usually Sunday. Sunday during the dip I’ll go long and close out positions Monday afternoon/evening. It’s been going extremely well. I utilize 3/4/10x margin, always set sl-tp. These are the pairs I trade. BTC/USD, ETH/USD, SPX/USD, SOL/USD, XRP/USD, PAXG/BTC. Since Oct 10 the weekends have been very volatile, and generally speaking that’s how it is. Low liquidity over the weekend, prices dip, good time to buy and take long positions into Monday/Tuesday.
I have btc, eth, ltc, stellar lumens. Personally, I'd dump the 10k into either BTC or into PAXG. BTC if you think we've mostly bottomed out and BTC won't drop more than another 10-15k in price. Or PAXG if you think BTC will drop more. The way gold has been moving lately, it will probably be up another 20% by the end of next year.
Keep some PAXG also 😉
Sure go for it. It’s a good time for it. Perhaps consider diversifying by including PAXG, S&P and a few stocks you believe in.
I like PAXG as an option to make slow gains in Gold while crypto goes through its bear cycle. It's an ERC20 token backed by gold. Removes you from the risk of volatility trying to short bitcoin. A good place to sit while we wait for the entire crypto market unwinds into mid 2026. Give it a look - [https://www.paxos.com/pax-gold](https://www.paxos.com/pax-gold)
Left, turned it all into PAXG
I swapped my BTC for PAXG and I'm having a wonderful day.
PAXG operates with like less than 1% of tether. It would be very difficult to raise 100 times the capital to replace tether, I'd think
PAXG is fully backed gold in London XAUt is fully backed gold in Switzerland
Jeez🙈….but other than PAXG thata be the one🤷♂️
Gold is affordable unless you want to own physical Gold. Even so there are smaller amounts available than a Gold bar! If you would be okay with this you can buy a token or share backed by the equivalent amount of gold. In tokens there is Pax Gold (PAXG), which you can buy in quite small amounts. A share in conventional investments is available as an ETC Electronically Traded Commodity. This is also backed by the equivalent amount of Gold. Again, you can buy small amounts.
It’ll be priced in before that so the crypto will drop, PAXG would likely rally with indexes.
They may be experimenting with things like PAXG, though I am curious as to what the portfolio breakdown is
PAXG - easy. I also earn on it at nexo
No problem. When I say 95% (which is an exaggerated number) culled, I don't mean overnight. What I do mean is when CLARITY (US) and MiCA (EU) are fully live, a good bunch of tokens that live on regulated, fiat-on-ramp exchanges will be TINY compared to now. Here are the facts, millions of tokens currently. But more than half of all tokens since 2021 have died from market forces alone. [source (coingecko)](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/how-many-cryptocurrencies-failed) , [source ( tradingview)](https://www.tradingview.com/news/newsbtc:081cf0629094b:0-crypto-graveyard-50-of-tokens-have-failed-in-the-past-5-years-report/) . For the past year we are already seeing non-compliant assets and stablecoins get restricted or delisted for EU under MiCA. Big Examples such as TETHER, DAI, USDP, PAXG etc. They get hit first for being big and systematically important, if they saw 60-80% of volume going through these stablecoins, theyre gonna focus on rule enforcement there first. Not to mention the MiCA explicitly targeted stablecoins first. But believe me, microcaps will get a taste of it soon. So natural failure rate + higher regulatory bar + exchange risk management = why I came up with a 90-95% culling rate. Think of the many microcaps that are actually going to be bothered to get licensing, disclosures, clear classification of assets, AML, capital requirements, thats a hell lot of effort for the many cryptos that have little to no business model. So naturally, most of the market will cease to exist. And if your lucky , you are holding an asset that is ironclad and you will enjoy the inflows. Just an opinion, but a belief I hold very strongly.
If you truly believe the cycle is done, I'd go all in on PAXG, once everything drops low enough in 1-2 years, you go slowly back into BTC, ETH, etc...
When there was the crypto flash-crash last month (when many shitcoins lost over 50% in a few minutes), PAXG became de-coupled from Gold Futures and Spot price really, really badly. Shouldn't that have been impossible? Apparently not.
Gold has been tokenized. PAXG
I thought it's PAXG
PAXG and BTC make a good barbell strategy I hear
He's competing against other digital gold tokens like PAXG. Nothing wrong with that and nothing to do with BTC.
When BTC is down, Gold is up. When Gold is up, BTC is down. Why not convert 1/2 into BTC and 1/2 into Gold. Your portfolio would be better diversified, and you won't have as big of a swing in your portfolio value. This is what I did. You can buy digital Gold with PAXG. 1 PAXG = 1 oz of Gold
Come on, if you're buying gold long term, at least buy the 1 ounce coins/bars. The 1 gram and 5 gram has the highest premiums and is mostly meant for like small gifts and for people who want to buy a tiny amount to try it out. Also, if you're not fully decided yet and are worried that crypto market is to heated up, you could also buy PAXG or XAUt first. (crypto backed by physical gold)
Not BTC, but kind of PAXG. BTC cannot be replaced its unique.

Governments print endlessly, currencies weaken, and people are quietly moving into assets that **can’t be inflated** — like **gold and Bitcoin**. Both are mined, both are scarce, and both represent real work. The only difference is form — one physical, one digital. What’s interesting now is how the two worlds are starting to merge. More people are taking profits from crypto and **buying gold with Bitcoin**, or using tokenized assets like PAXG and **crypto bars** that bridge metal and blockchain. It makes me wonder: as trust in fiat keeps fading, maybe the future of value isn’t just crypto *or* gold — but both, working together. So what do you think — will **Bitcoin and gold** coexist as parallel stores of value, or will one eventually outshine the other? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I was trying to diversify my portfolio. Bought PAXG so technically I still bought crypto 😉
What I call patience is holding PAXG for 3-4 months instead of selling it and buying back into crypto after 1 and a half months
