“Today’s announcement marks yet another milestone in Paxos’ ability to provide billions of users with safe and trusted digital asset services. Our IPAs from the FSRA, on the heels of our IPA from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, solidify our commitment to pursuing international growth through regulated frameworks,” Walter Hessert, head of strategy at Paxos, said.

Paxos has partnerships with PayPal, Mastercard, Nubank, Bank of America Mercado Libre, and Societe Generale among other crypto and financial industry players. The company issues various US dollar pegged stablecoins, including PayPal USD (PYUSD), Pax Dollar (USDP) and Pax Gold (PAXG).

In February, the company terminated its relationship with Binance over the branding and issuance of Binance USD (BUSD). This followed an order from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).
