What the data says about PAXG
One detail on PAXG didn't fully resolve in the 2026-08-19 snapshot: its authority state. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
Here's where PAXG stands today: deep liquidity of $528.91K and a holder base of 407 as of 2026-08-19. The $528.91K pool stands up well to a ~$10.32M cap — depth like that means PAXG absorbs normal flow without the price lurching. A 407-wallet base is small, which usually means concentration risk runs higher; treat it as an early-stage signal and trade accordingly.
Two forces will shape PAXG's grade going forward. It gets stronger as depth extends beyond $528.91K without ownership tightening; and it would come down if depth around $528.91K erodes or a handful of addresses build a dominant share. Snapshot dated 2026-08-19 — re-run the scan for PAXG's latest before you make a call.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 96% of PAXG's supply as of 2026-08-18 — a heavily concentrated distribution — a handful of accounts can move or exit this market at will. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ
Is PAXG a safe token?
As of the 2026-08-19 snapshot, PAXG scores 90/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $528.91K and 407 holders. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell PAXG, or is it a honeypot?
PAXG's freeze authority couldn't be confirmed from the 2026-08-19 snapshot. Since that's the Solana lever that can block a sale, verify it directly with the live scan above before you trade.
Who holds most of PAXG?
PAXG has 407 holders as of 2026-08-19. A headline count doesn't reveal how much the largest wallets control, so read it with the concentration figure on this page — broad distribution is a good sign, a few wallets owning most of the supply is not.
Can PAXG's supply be inflated?
The mint authority state couldn't be confirmed from the 2026-08-19 snapshot — verify it with a live scan before relying on the supply being fixed.
What is the PAXG contract address?
The PAXG mint address on Solana is 5GgRAEmv8ZxF2PR5hY72Qs5x1bnQ6UK2RbTPoqJ3wSwW. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy PAXG safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if PAXG clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (5GgRAEmv8ZxF2PR5hY72Qs5x1bnQ6UK2RbTPoqJ3wSwW) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
