Paxos launches a US dollar stablecoin – PAX

Paxos launches a US dollar stablecoin – PAX

Paxos today announced the launch of Paxos Standard, a regulated crypto asset. The Paxos Standard (PAX) token is fully collateralized 1:1 by the U.S. dollar, issued by the Paxos Trust Company, and approved and regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services.

“Paxos Standard gives financial markets the power to transact in a fully USD-collateralized asset with the benefits of blockchain technology and oversight from financial regulators,” said Charles Cascarilla, CEO and co-founder of Paxos. “We believe that Paxos Standard represents a significant advancement in digital assets, leveraging the oversight and stability of the traditional financial system and enabling a frictionless global economy.”

Verified Paxos customers can purchase and redeem tokens directly through Paxos.com on a 1:1 basis with USD. When Paxos Standard tokens are in circulation, the corresponding dollars are held in reserve. Upon redemption for dollars, Paxos Standard tokens are immediately destroyed. Tokens are only in circulation when the corresponding dollars are in custody.

Investors who trade digital assets through the itBit exchange or OTC desk have the option to withdraw digital assets to Paxos Standard instantaneously. Paxos Standard is available to be listed on other venues and will trade under the ticker symbol PAX.

Paxos Standard has been designed as an Ethereum token written according to the ERC-20 protocol, so that anyone with an Ethereum wallet will be able to send and receive Paxos Standard tokens. The smart contract has been audited by smart contract auditor Nomic Labs and account balances will be audited by top U.S. auditors.

Paxos has long been a partner to institutional investors, focused on financial compliance since its genesis as the first NYDFS-approved Trust company to offer trading and custody services for digital assets through its exchange, itBit, one of the leading crypto asset exchanges.

“In the current marketplace, the biggest hindrances to digital asset adoption are trust and volatility. As a regulated Trust with a 1:1 dollar-collateralized stablecoin, we believe we are offering an asset that improves on the utility of money,” added Cascarilla.

To celebrate the launch of Paxos Standard (PAX), Paxos is giving early users: $75 in USD, one month free of OTC trading through itBit, and one month of free trading on the itBit exchange for new itBit accounts

Paxos today has published a white paper explaining product construction and design decisions for Paxos Standard.
