How does Gold work on PRYPCO Mint?

When you buy Gold on PRYPCO Mint, you're not buying a digital simulation of gold — you're buying a stake in real, allocated physical gold, held in professional vaults and independently verified every month.

Behind the scenes, this is powered by PAXG (Paxos Gold) — a regulated token issued by Paxos Trust Company, where each token represents one troy ounce of physical gold. You don't need to buy a full token. From AED 100, you own a proportional share of real, allocated gold — and your balance tracks the live gold price in real time.


What backs every gram you own

  • The underlying gold is stored in LBMA-standard vaults in London

  • Custody is held by Paxos Trust Company, regulated by NYDFS

  • Gold reserves are independently audited every month by KPMG

  • Backing is maintained at 1:1 at all times — regardless of how much you hold


How the gold gets there

  1. Physical gold is sourced through LBMA-cleared channels, meeting the London Good Delivery standard — bars must be at least 99.5% pure gold, each with a unique serial number

  2. Specific bars are allocated against token holdings — every gram is tied to a real bar in a real vault

  3. PAXG tokens are issued against that allocated gold, with smart contracts ensuring 1:1 backing is maintained on-chain at all times


What this looks like for you

  1. Buy Gold from AED 100, based on the live gold price at the time of purchase

  2. Your balance is shown in grams and updates in real time as the gold price moves

  3. Sell at any time — proceeds go straight to your PRYPCO Mint AED wallet


A simple example

Gold is priced at AED 200 per gram. You invest AED 2,000. You now own 10 grams of gold — roughly a third of a full PAXG token (which represents approximately 31 grams). If the gold price rises to AED 220 per gram, your 10 grams would be worth AED 2,200.


What Gold on PRYPCO Mint is not

  • A cryptocurrency used for speculation

  • An independent digital asset with no real-world backing

  • A guaranteed investment

Gold prices can fluctuate, and owning Gold does not eliminate investment risk.
