Paxos has expanded its Pax Gold (PAXG) token to Solana, launching the first phase of a broader multi-chain strategy aimed at bringing tokenized gold to more blockchain ecosystems.
The move comes as gold enjoys its strongest bull market in two decades, encouraging investors to seek digital alternatives that provide exposure to physical assets.
The launch highlights rising demand for real-world assets that combine traditional investments with blockchain efficiency.
The network said PAXG has grown more than 300% since 2024, reflecting stronger interest in tokenized gold products. The Solana expansion could help broaden access by connecting PAXG to a fast-growing blockchain ecosystem and user base.

PAXG was designed to simplify gold ownership by removing storage, custody, and transfer burdens.
Each token represents one fine troy ounce of gold stored in LBMA-accredited vaults, with monthly KPMG attestations and annual Bureau Veritas inspections. Regulated by the OCC, PAXG offers reserve transparency, no custody fees, and redemption options.

Why Solana Matters for Paxos Growth
The selection of Solana by Paxos for the expansion of PAXG is an indication of how quickly the world of assets is evolving in the blockchain space.
By May 2026, Solana had surpassed $2.5 billion in terms of value that was locked in its entire ecosystem. Its fee structure, speed, and reliability have attracted everyone, including asset issuers and developers.
In terms of expanding its presence in Solanaβs DeFi system, Paxos has managed to achieve this through its partnership with Sunrise.
The result has been enhanced liquidity for the top decentralized exchange platforms and wallets. The partnership could help to expand the availability of gold tokens, meaning that Solana users can have access to physical gold.
Multi-Chain Infrastructure Sets Stage for Future Expansion
Before Solanaβs launch, Paxos completely reformed the infrastructure of PAXG to enable its future expansion on EVM and non-EVM chains. This allows for omnichain functionality without compromising compliance and supply auditing. In addition, Paxos clarified that each PAXG token is backed by an identifiable gold bar.
It serves as an important landmark in the growing space of tokenized real-world assets. As companies are rushing towards tokenizing their traditional investments on blockchain platforms, Paxos is taking its PAXG in that direction as well. The move has the potential to make tokenized gold available to a larger number of investors.
