Where Each Platform Wins

On custody and security, these two are within 2 points of each other (80 vs. 78).

Securitize stands out on features (82 vs. 68), reflecting Securitize's product breadth and tooling.

The Custody Question

Neither Paxos Gold (PAXG) nor Securitize has fully eliminated single-point-of-failure risk.

Both models leave your bitcoin exposed to custodial concentration risk — if that one entity fails, your bitcoin could be locked, seized, or lost. For long-term holders, this is the most important factor to weigh.
