Sources we use
We rank sources by how close they are to the fact. First come primary sources: the issuer (paxos.com, the Paxos help center and PAX Gold terms), the PAXG smart contract on Etherscan, regulators and their public registers, national tax authorities, and industry bodies such as the London Bullion Market Association and the World Gold Council. For exchange listings we use the exchange’s own public API or official pages.
Second come reputable secondary sources: established news outlets, law-firm briefings and independent risk assessments. We use them to find facts, then try to confirm those facts at the primary source. Marketing pages, anonymous blogs and other review sites are not sources for facts on this site.
Dating facts
Fees, licences, supply figures, trading pairs and tax rules change. When a page states one of these, it says when we checked it — for example “as of October 2026” or “on 12 October 2026, CoinGecko showed…”. Each page also shows a last-updated date near the top, and the sources list at the bottom records when each source was checked.
Live data rules
Prices, market cap, volume and the gap to spot gold appear only in live widgets, which load fresh data in your browser from public services. We never write a live number into the text as if it were current. If a page mentions a price, it is a dated snapshot or a clearly labeled worked example. When a data service is unavailable, the widget hides itself rather than show stale numbers.
How we handle unverified claims
If we cannot confirm something at a reliable source, we either leave it out or say plainly that it could not be confirmed. Examples on this site include the Solana PAXG mint address, which Paxos had not published on its blog, and the final licence status of several exchanges. We would rather leave a question open than give a confident wrong answer.
Before a page goes live, we check
- Every fee, date and licence against a primary or clearly named source
- That regulator status separates the law, the regulator’s actions and the exchange’s own claims
- That no live price is stated as current in the text
- That contract addresses match Etherscan and paxos.com
- That tax sections link the national tax authority and say they are not advice
Links and exchanges
We link to official sites so you can check facts yourself. External links open in a new tab and carry a nofollow attribute. We do not link to other review sites for facts.
Buttons that say “Buy PAXG” or similar lead to one exchange, CEX.IO. That link does not influence our coverage: local exchanges get fair, evidence-based treatment in our exchanges comparison and country guides, and we state where CEX.IO is not available. Our about page explains why there is a single button destination.
Opinions are labeled. Blocks marked as our take are the team’s view; the rest of the text aims to be factual. We do not publish invented quotes, testimonials or named experts.
Updates and corrections
We review pages when a source changes — for example a new attestation, a fee update, a new licence or a change in tax law. If you spot an error, email support@paxgold.finance with the page and, if possible, an official source. We check every report. If we got something wrong, we fix it and update the page date. If a correction changes a material fact, such as a fee or an availability notice, we prioritize it.
Nothing here is financial, tax or legal advice. See the disclaimer for details.
