PAX Gold (PAXG) carves its niche in the cryptocurrency domain as a distinctive ERC-20 stablecoin, providing investors with fractional ownership of physical gold reserves securely stored in London vaults. Unlike conventional stablecoins, PAXG is not tethered to a fiat currency like the US dollar or euro but is directly linked to physical gold.
Intrinsic Value and Security
PAXG stands out for its intrinsic value and security, with each token equivalent to one troy ounce of a 400-ounce London Good Delivery gold bar, safeguarded in accredited gold vaults. Consequently, the value of PAXG is intrinsically tied to the real-time market value of that physical gold, ensuring that the token represents actual gold ownership and its price fluctuates with the market value of gold.
Potential Risks
When investing in PAX Gold (PAXG), it's important to be aware of the potential risks involved. The value of PAXG is subject to daily fluctuations in the gold market, which can be influenced by factors such as economic conditions and political events. Additionally, changes in government regulations can impact the use and value of PAXG tokens and introduce new compliance requirements. There is also a risk of redemption, where PAXG tokens may not be redeemable if the custodian fails to make the underlying assets available or if the issuer becomes insolvent. PAXG is also subject to depreciation risk, meaning its value can decrease if the value of the underlying gold drops or if the administrative organisation faces issues. Finally, operational risks related to the management and security of digital assets require secure storage and management of private keys associated with digital wallets to mitigate the risk of unauthorised access or loss.
There is also a possibility that PAXG could become de-pegged from its underlying asset, which could impact its value and stability.

The dust has settled and we can see a clear change of character on $BTC.
It is the first time since breaking its all time high that it is not able to reclaim these 4H moving averages quickly.
In my opinion this greatly increases the probability for further losses.
I started to derisk by moving 50% of the strategy to $USDT and am actively considering $PAXG for as long as $BTC does not show clear signs of a bottom or recovery.
PRONTOOOO?
Once again the strat is unattended while dumping
Structure update: sadly we are informed that starting januari 1st, 2025 $PAXG (tokenized Gold) will no longer be available on ICONOMI due to the MiCA Crypto regulations in effect in Europe.
This means CARUS-AR is selling it's 6% Gold (PAXG) for:
- 3% extra Bitcoin
- 3% extra USD
Would have liked to be more diversified into Gold, sadly new regulations simply do not allow for this.
Since Gold is at a good price, I prefer to sell now and not wait till the 31st of December.
The general strategy remains the same: sell slowly into lower risk assets: $BTC and $USDC.
@TDj_Slo it is not published yet, apologies, was told this in a meeting.
I write to Iconomi support and delistening of PAXG gold is not yet confirmee for 1.1.2025. "We will follow the regulatory guidelines in the coming months.
Such large changes or the delisting of larger assets will be communicated through our channels in due time."
Ty for info. Where is this published from Iconomi about delisting PAXG?
The value of one CAR is currently 75.43 USD, just 2 dollar away from our next 'profit taking point' where we lower our ALTS 1.5% to add 0.5% to: USD $USDC, Gold $PAXG and Bitcoin $BTC.
Markets continue to be green, Bitcoin Dominance is dropping.
Good times, happy with all copiers who are coming along with our plan!
Good morning, $BTC dominance has finally started to drop!
With #Bitcoin unable to break 100k so far, this is the perfect time for ALTS! And our performance is showing this clearly.
We are 4% away from our next 'profit take rebalance' where we will lower our ALT coins risk once again with 1.5% adding 0.5% to $BTC $USDC and $PAXG.
Currently we have in CARUS-AR:
- 22.5% Bitcoin
- 5.5% USD
- 5.5% Gold
We will slowly add to these for as long as crypto markets rise.

@mmmambocosmo I respectfully disagree with your assessment that the strategy is 'unattended'. $BTC is still in a clean up trend, $PYTH hasn't broken its lows so I would still consider it in a range. $OP which has broken the lows got swapped out with $AAVE which so far performed very well and had strong bounces after every low.
I can only reiterate that we are in a bull market until further notice and dips and corrections up to a certain degree are normal market behavior.
