  • PAXG is one of the safest asset-backed stablecoins. It is suitable for all types of users.

Paxos
Stability

The Stability factor is evaluated on the following:

  1. Reserves Management - Quality, quantity, storage and segregation of reserve assets
  2. Market Feedback - Indicators of market's confidence in a stablecoin derived from price and trade data
  3. Mechanism - Stabilization methods that protect the stablecoin

 

Paxos
Management

The Management factor is evaluated on the following:

  1. Restrictions - What deterrents exist to prevent key personnel of stablecoin projects from unethical and illegal behavior?
  2. Negative Track Record - Have key personnel been involved in scams, frauds or other illegal activities?
Paxos
Decentralization

This factor evaluates censorship resistance using indicators like regulatory oversight, asset custody, and governance controls.

Decentralization is not a key objective for Paxos Trust Company, who prioritizes compliance over decentralization. Therefore, this factor is not assessed.

Paxos
Governance
The Governance factor for asset-backed stablecoins is evaluated on the following:
  1. Holder Protection - What rules, statutes or code exist to protect interests of stablecoin holders?
  2. Reserves Verification - What checks are done to ensure existence of reserves?
  3. Redemptions - Do issuers have transparent and reasonable redemption terms?
