Understand the product
What is tokenized gold?
Tokenized gold is a cryptoasset issued to represent a quantity of physical gold held in custody according to the issuer’s terms.
PAX Gold (PAXG) is issued by Paxos, and each token represents one fine troy ounce of gold. Tether Gold (XAUT) is offered by TG Commodities, and each token represents one fine troy ounce associated with a specific gold bar.
At Brasil Bitcoin, you can trade fractions of these assets in Brazilian reais. The purchase gives access to the token; it does not correspond to a physical bar stored by Brasil Bitcoin. Reserve, transfer, and any eventual redemption rules are defined by each issuer.
Two tokens, different issuers

Risks and precautions
What to evaluate before buying
Gold and FX fluctuate. The price in Brazilian reais can change with the international gold price and with the relationship between the real and the US dollar.
Know the issuer. Read the reserve, custody, audit, transfer, and redemption rules for PAXG or XAUT.
Watch liquidity. Supply, demand, spread, and fees can cause the traded price to move away from the gold reference price.
Diversification does not eliminate risk. Tokenized gold remains subject to market, counterparty, custody, technology, and platform risks.
