How to Sell Paxos Gold (PAXG)
As a crypto trader or investor, there may be times when you’ll need to sell PAXG.
A crypto asset unlike most others, PAXG mirrors the value of the 1 troy fine ounce of gold but runs on a blockchain, meaning it provides the functionality of gold without the delays and fees that can be common when selling real gold with bullion dealers or pawn shops.
This means that by buying and selling PAXG at the right time, you may be able to gain exposure to the upward movements of gold more quickly.
Kraken’s global order book can offer you the ability to sell PAXG for a variety of more traditional currencies, meaning it can be an alternative for timely FX trading as well.
For more information on how you can sell PAXG if and when an opportunity presents itself, follow the steps outlined below.
