Gold on the blockchain sounds clever, but is it actually gold in the way gold bugs mean gold?
In this interview I talk to Chunda McCaim from Paxos about Pax Gold, custody, tokenised assets, stablecoins, crypto rails, counterparty risk, yield, borrowing against digital gold, and the real question behind all of it, can tokenised gold ever feel as safe as physical gold.
We get into what Paxos actually does behind the scenes, how Pax Gold is backed, why custody matters, the old “not your keys, not your coins” problem, whether tokenised gold solves anything for ordinary savers, and why crypto still struggles to escape pure financial engineering.
If you are interested in gold, Bitcoin, tokenisation, stablecoins, blockchain finance, digital assets, counterparty risk, gold custody, financial rails, PayPal crypto, Interactive Brokers crypto, and where this all might go next, this one should be useful
