As gold prices keep reaching new highs and to celebrate the listing of PAXG on TruBit Pro, we wanted to share this article to help you revisit gold investing and explore how PAXG can support your strategy.
Why Invest in Gold?
When global uncertainty rises, gold prices tend to surge. We may be entering a long-term gold bull cycle. The U.S. currently holds $36 trillion in national debt, with $9.2 trillion maturing in 2025. The dollar is under pressure, pushing more capital into gold as a safe haven.
It’s a good time to understand how to invest in gold — and why.
Gold Price Trends: Short, Mid & Long Term
In the long term, gold is a solid hedge against inflation. While it has its own inflation rate (~3–5% annually), it still outperforms fiat currencies impacted by ongoing money printing. Over a 15+ year cycle, gold performs comparably to stocks and is often tax-free in physical form.
In the short term, prices are influenced by government deficits and public trust in fiat. For example, when the U.S. ended gold convertibility in the 1970s, gold jumped from $35 to $850/oz. In the 1980s, aggressive interest rate hikes caused gold to slump.
Today, many expect a bull market over the next few years.
Who Holds Gold?
Central banks and institutional investors are the largest holders. They often increase gold reserves during wars or geopolitical tensions — as seen during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, when gold prices spiked due to asset seizure concerns.
Ways to Invest in Gold
- Buy physical gold. Through trusted gold shops or banks. However, storage and security can be challenging.
- Buy gold ETFs. Products like GLD and GLDM offer exposure. GLDM is popular for its lower fees.
- Buy gold mining stocks. Mining stocks often outperform physical gold in bull cycles due to built-in leverage, though they carry equity market risks.
The above ways are common when you want to invest in Gold. But if you are concerned about safety or you do not have easy access to ETF of the US market, then we would like to introduce a new way to invest in gold. 👇
Tokenized gold via cryptocurrency — e.g., PAX Gold (PAXG).
PAXG is a gold-backed stablecoin. Each PAXG token represents one ounce of gold stored in a London vault. The issuing company conducts monthly audits to ensure the gold reserves match the circulating tokens. PAXG has operated for five years without any significant de-pegging incidents. If you own PAXG, you own the underlying physical gold, held in custody by Paxos Trust Company.
Why Consider PAXG?
- Cost-efficient
- Secure and regulated
- Instant settlement
- Redeemable
Low minimum purchase, no storage fees, and lower costs than many ETFs or physical bars.
Backed by audited gold in LBMA vaults; Paxos is a licensed custodian regulated by the NYDFS.
Near-instant settlement with no credit or counterparty risk, unlike T+2 settlement for ETFs and gold bars.
PAXG is the only gold token redeemable for LBMA-accredited Good Delivery gold or USD at market price. Institutions can also redeem for unallocated Loco London gold.
Final Thoughts
With trade wars, rising inflation, and geopolitical risk, gold remains a reliable hedge. If you’re looking for a modern and accessible way to invest, PAXG could be an ideal solution.
