Stablecoin Issuance & Infrastructure

Paxos provides comprehensive stablecoin issuance infrastructure enabling businesses to launch, manage, and scale their own stablecoins, as well as institutional access to Paxos-issued stablecoins through direct primary market operations.

Stablecoin Issuance Platform

As a proven stablecoin issuer since 2018 with over $180 billion in tokenization activity, Paxos provides the regulatory framework, technical infrastructure, and operational expertise for enterprise-grade digital asset creation. The platform delivers three key benefits: Proven Issuer credentials with reliable, regulated issuance infrastructure and demonstrated scale through billions in tokenization activity; Flexible Options allowing businesses to choose the right model, whether launching fully-custom branded stablecoins, building existing assets into applications, or joining the powerful Global Dollar Network driving adoption; and Shared Earnings that unlock benefits through shared earnings on balances held in stablecoins issued and distributed using Paxos infrastructure.

Paxos supports multiple stablecoin issuance approaches to match business needs. Companies can tap into the power of the Global Dollar Network for rapid market access and network effects, build stablecoins backed by Paxos-issued assets (like USDP or PAXG) for regulatory compliance and reserve transparency, or create entirely new fully-branded assets with custom tokenomics and branding. All options leverage Paxos' prudential regulation, reserve management expertise, and transparent reporting frameworks.

Institutional Primary Market Access

For institutional clients, Paxos offers direct primary market access to Paxos-issued stablecoins PayPal USD (PYUSD) and Pax Dollar (USDP) through the Mint and Redeem platform. Institutions can mint and redeem these stablecoins with zero fees, unlimited liquidity, and guaranteed 1:1 redemption by setting up an institutional account with Paxos. This eliminates costs associated with secondary market spreads and exchange fees while providing the speed and flexibility of direct issuer access with seamless stablecoin operations and unconstrained liquidity pools.

Regulatory Infrastructure

All stablecoins issued through Paxos or accessed via primary market operations benefit from comprehensive regulatory oversight including the OCC Trust Charter at the federal level, New York Department of Financial Services regulation, and Monetary Authority of Singapore major payments institution licensing. This multi-jurisdictional regulatory framework provides issuers with credibility, compliance infrastructure, and access to global markets. All Paxos-issued stablecoins are backed 1:1 with reserves held in bankruptcy-remote accounts protecting customer funds from insolvency risk and subject to monthly attestation and transparency reporting.

Notable Stablecoin Issuances

Paxos has successfully issued major stablecoins including PayPal USD (PYUSD) for PayPal, Global Dollar (USDG) backed by leading global enterprises, Pax Dollar (USDP) as a transparent USD-backed stablecoin, and Pax Gold (PAXG) as a commodity-backed token. The platform's track record demonstrates the ability to scale from launch to billions in market capitalization while maintaining regulatory compliance and reserve transparency.
