How to own gold through blockchain technology?
🪙 1. Choose Your "Digital Gold" Standard
Not all gold tokens are created equal. In 2026, two giants dominate the market, each backed 1:1 by physical gold bars stored in high-security vaults.
PAX Gold (
$PAXG ): The "Institutional Favorite." Regulated by the NYDFS and backed by London Good Delivery bars. You can even look up the specific serial number of the gold bar your token represents.
Tether Gold (XAUt): The "Liquidity King." Backed by gold stored in Swiss vaults. It often has higher trading volumes on exchanges, making it easier to buy and sell large amounts instantly.
🛠️ 2. How to Buy: The 3 Simple Steps
Step A: Pick an Exchange or Wallet
You can buy gold tokens on major exchanges like Binance. If you prefer decentralized finance (DeFi), you can swap your USDT or ETH for
$PAXG on platforms like Uniswap using a private wallet (e.g., MetaMask or Binance keyless wallet).
Step B: The Swap
Deposit your fiat (USD) or stablecoins (USDT, USDC).
Search for the pair PAXG/USDT or XAUt/USDT.
Enter the amount. Because these are "fractional," you don't need to buy a whole ounce. You can start with as little as $10.
Step C: Transfer to Cold Storage (Crucial)
Never leave your gold on an exchange long-term. Transfer your tokens to a Hardware Wallet (like Ledger or Trezor). In the eyes of the blockchain, "Not your keys, not your gold."
