Pax Gold Launches on Solana via Sunrise DeFi Fueling RWA Expansion
PAXG on Solana: Why This Launch Could Change Gold Investing?
PaxGold Launches on Solana Through Sunrise DeFi, Bringing Real Gold On-Chain.
Paxos launched on June 25, 2026. The announcement came from official X account. It now runs on the blockchain through Sunrise DeFi — the same infrastructure that powered SPCX and SNDK tokenized stocks.
This is a big deal. PAXG is the world's most traded tokenized gold token.

What Is PAXG — and Why Does It Matter?
Each token equals one troy ounce of real. That safe-haven asset sits in Brink's vaults in London. Paxos, a US-regulated financial institution, issues every token. You can redeem Paxos for actual bars if you want.
Gold is currently priced near $3,300 per ounce. That means each PAXG token carries real, dollar-backed assets value. You're not buying a promise — you're buying a token that represents something physical sitting in a vault.
Before this, Paxos existed mainly on Ethereum. Ethereum is slower and more expensive to use. Gas fees — the cost to complete a transaction — can run $20 to $50 during busy periods. On the blockchain, that same transaction costs less than a cent.
What Problem Does This Solve for Investors?
The safe-haven asset is hard to access on-chain. Most DeFi platforms don't support it. Banks charge fees to hold it. Storage is a hassle. Paxos changes that.
Here's what you can do with PAXG on Solana right now:
-
Hold tokenized gold in your SOL wallet at almost zero cost
-
Trade it 24/7 on Jupiter, Raydium, and other SOL DEX apps
-
Use it as collateral in SOL DeFi protocols like Kamino
-
Access safe-haven asset exposure without a brokerage account or a safe deposit box
This opens safe-haven asset access to anyone with a smartphone and a SOL wallet. That's a genuinely new audience for a 5,000-year-old asset.
What This Means for Solana's RWA Momentum?
PAXG on Solana adds to a pattern that's been building all month. The Solana news today live feed this week includes MoneyGram as a validator, KG Inicis stablecoin checkout, and now tokenized gold from Paxos. These aren't small projects. These are regulated, real-world institutions choosing the blockchain.
The Solana RWA news story is getting clearer every week. SOL now leads all blockchains with 285,971 RWA holders. It holds 97% of tokenized equity trading volume. And its stablecoin market cap sits near $15.2 billion.
Paxos is the next layer. safe-haven asset is a $13 trillion asset class globally. Even a tiny fraction of that moving on-chain through SOL would be meaningful volume.
Expert Opinion: Is This the Start of Tokenized Commodities on Solana?
Vibhu Norby, CPO of the SOL Foundation, has pointed to RWA growth as one of the blockchain's core priorities for 2026. The Pax Gold Solana launch fits that roadmap directly. The safe-haven asset was always the obvious next step after stocks and bonds.
The infrastructure is already live. Sunrise DeFi handled SPCX. It handled SNDK. Now it handles Paxos. The same rails that moved SpaceX equity are now moving gold. That's a clear sign Sunrise is becoming Solana's primary tokenization layer for real-world assets.
Watch for: whether it expands to other commodities on the blockchain— silver, platinum, or oil-backed tokens are logical next steps given the PAXG launch goes smoothly.
