The site is operated by Paxos Trust Company LLC, which was founded in 2012 in the US. The start-up began with the regulated itBit exchange. The domain was registered in 2002 by an unknown owner from the UK, and renewed in 2023 for one year. The founder claims to be a New York state trust company regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). All statements of the founders are not supported by documents.

Extremely slow transactions when using PAXG; Illiquid built-in exchange; High fees; Extremely risky ToS, with third-party controls and trade rejections. Your digital money is supposedly "dirty" and you don't own it now. All of these terms are very much at odds with the purpose for which Bitcoin was created. Paxos has low withdrawal limits, inexplicably combined with KYC. I am being asked for personal information anew every week, even though all documents have already been submitted many times. These actions of the company feel almost like bullying to me. I realized that cryptocurrencies were a good asset when I had previously lost out due to the falling price per ounce of gold. But on this platform, I was being forced into unreliable crypto. I left this site. Beware of PAX and PAXG tokens and BUSD, they are unstable.
