FAQs

What is Pax Gold (PAXG)?

Pax Gold (PAXG) is an asset-backed token where one token represents one fine troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar, stored in professional vault facilities. Anyone who owns PAXG has ownership rights to that gold under the custody of Paxos Trust Company. Since PAXG represents physical gold, its value is tied directly to the real-time market value of that physical gold. PAXG gives customers the benefits of actual physical ownership of specific gold bars with the speed and mobility of a digital asset. Customers are able to have fractional ownership of physical bars.

What is the Minimum Investment Amount?

You can get started with as little as R150 as you can own tiny fractions of a gold bar, which are divisible out to 18 decimal points.

What is the Benefit of Having Physical Gold on a Blockchain?

Physical gold on the blockchain has the advantages of representing legal ownership of physical allocated gold, but does not have the drawbacks of limited transportability or high storage costs usually associated with it. Instead, it has the divisibility, fungibility and tradability of any digital asset like bitcoin. In other words, the best of physical and digital assets at the same time.

Is Revix Regulated?

At Revix we carry out both regulated and unregulated activities. We are regulated through its wholly-owned subsidiary RVX SA Capital (Pty) Ltd ("Revix Capital"). Revix Capital is a South African private company which is regulated and authorised to offer various financial services within the traditional financial sector.

However, crypto asset-related activities still need to be fully regulated by the South African Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). The FSCA has taken the first step toward regulating the crypto asset industry in South Africa by declaring crypto assets as financial products within the scope of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act (FAIS).

What this means is that from 1 June 2023, Revix and other South African cryptocurrency platforms will have to obtain a license from the FSCA to provide their services to the public. It’s business as normal while we apply for the license – your ability to buy, sell, store and explore cryptocurrency will not be impacted during this time.This is a positive step for both the cryptocurrency industry and South Africans. We fully support this decision as it helps to protect consumers and ensures greater trust in the industry.

Revix offers its crypto-related services through Revix SA OpCo (Pty) Ltd ("Revix SA") and Revix International Limited. Revix SA is a South African company and qualifies as a Crypto Asset Service Provider under FAIS.

It’s important to note that Revix crypto accounts do not fall under local banking laws and that investments in cryptocurrencies, at this time, are not covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service or subject to protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
