We are pleased to announce that OmiseGO (OMG) and PAX Gold (PAXG) will be listed on Kraken starting October 29.



What is OmiseGO (OMG)?



OmiseGO is a decentralized banking and exchange platform that enables instant, peer-to-peer transactions across multiple blockchains, asset classes (including fiat), and applications. Additionally, it seeks to leverage its parent company’s gateways to traditional and established payment service providers to drive network growth.

OmiseGO is a Proof-of-Stake blockchain linked to Ethereum. It is powered by the OMG token, which is based on Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard

The network utilizes a scaling solution called Plasma child-chain technology, which enables speeds of up to 4,000 transactions per second. As a result, users can pay up to 90% lower fees than on Ethereum

OmiseGO provides an open-source and white label eWallet suite that can be used to digitize and store multiple types of assets. Additionally, the wallet’s device will act as a node on the network and verify transactions

OmiseGO is an entity under Omise Holdings, created in 2013, which also includes Omise Payments. Omise Payments is an online payment gateway offering a wide range of processing solutions across Asia

What is PAX Gold (PAXG)?



PAX Gold (PAXG) gives customers the benefits of actual physical ownership of specific gold bars with the speed and mobility of a digital asset. Physical gold on the blockchain has the advantages of legal ownership of physically allocated gold, without the drawbacks of limited transportability or high storage costs.



PAXG’s value is tied directly to the real-time market value of physical gold, and it serves as a hedge against crypto volatility

One token is backed by one fine troy ounce (t oz) of a 400 oz London Good Delivery gold bar, held in custody by the Paxos Trust Company

PAXG is an Ethereum ERC-20 token

PAXG is operated by Paxos, a trust company and custodian, regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Paxos was founded in 2012

Will Kraken list more assets?

Yes! But our policy is to never reveal any details until shortly before launch – not even about which assets we are considering. Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which assets we may be listing in the future.



Trade with caution

Limit orders are recommended when trading starts since the markets may be illiquid initially. Be extremely careful with market orders and orders that trigger market orders (e.g. stop loss).



Invest with caution

Listing an asset or token for trade is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or participate in the associated network. Do your own research and invest at your own risk.
