Paxos

Paxos is the leading regulated blockchain infrastructure and tokenization platform redefining financial markets by building prudentially regulated solutions that enable the instant movement of any asset to anyone in a trustworthy way. Founded in 2012, the company has emerged as a pioneer in bringing traditional financial infrastructure into the blockchain era.

Core Products and Services

Paxos offers a comprehensive suite of regulated blockchain products designed for enterprises. The Crypto Brokerage product provides regulated blockchain infrastructure with qualified custody, licensing, and trading capabilities, enabling financial services companies to offer crypto investing, trading, and digital wallets to their customers. The Stablecoin Payments platform allows businesses to accept and send stablecoin payments and payouts globally, reducing costs, accelerating settlement, and expanding access compared to traditional payment rails.

The company's Stablecoin Issuance service empowers enterprises to launch, manage, and scale their own stablecoins with flexible models including fully-branded custom stablecoins or joining the Global Dollar Network. Paxos also operates Mint and Redeem services providing institutions with zero-fee access to PYUSD and USDP with unlimited liquidity and 1:1 redemption. The itBit Trading Platform serves institutional investors with deep liquidity, maker rebates, and powerful trading APIs (FIX, REST, WebSockets) for algorithmic trading.

Paxos-Issued Digital Assets

Paxos has issued over $180 billion in tokenization activity since 2018, creating trusted, regulated stablecoins including Global Dollar (USDG), the premier global stablecoin backed by leading enterprises; PayPal USD (PYUSD), PayPal's stablecoin designed for payments and issued by Paxos Trust Company NA; Pax Dollar (USDP), fully backed 1:1 by US dollars with bankruptcy-remote reserves; and Pax Gold (PAXG), backed by one fine troy ounce of gold stored in LBMA vaults. All Paxos-issued assets are backed by 1:1 redemption with reserves held in bankruptcy-remote accounts.

Regulatory Leadership and Trust

Paxos maintains the highest commitments to regulation, compliance, and transparency in the blockchain industry. The company received the first limited purpose trust charter for digital assets from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in 2015, pioneering new models of regulatory oversight. In 2022, Paxos became the first US-based blockchain infrastructure platform to secure a major payments institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). In 2025, Paxos Trust Company NA became federally regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), establishing GENIUS-ready oversight of issuance, custody, and operations at the national level.

Enterprise Focus and Notable Clients

Paxos powers crypto infrastructure for the world's leading financial services companies including PayPal (for whom they issue PYUSD and provide crypto brokerage services), Mercado Libre (whose crypto wallet reached 1M+ users in 60 days), and numerous global enterprises across Web3, banking, fintech, payments, and e-commerce sectors. The company's enterprise-grade, infrastructure-only approach ensures they build scalable solutions without competing for their partners' end users.
