Important Notes

  • • GLD is anchored to PAXG with ≈1 gram gold peg intent (not 1:1 with PAXG)
  • • Always verify the correct GLD token contract address before trading
  • • Gas fees apply to all Ethereum transactions
  • • For trades over $100K, consider using the OTC desk for better execution
  • • GLD is not redeemable for physical gold; PAXG is the redeemable asset
