Pax Dollar
A-
-
Paxos, the issuer of USDP, is regulated as a stablecoin issuer by the NYDFS, and therefore subject to stringent guidelines and monitoring requirements. USDP is substantially the same as its more widely used and popular sibling BUSD, but without the co-branding arrangement with Binance.
-
USDP's reserves comprise short dated US Treasuries, highly liquid assets backed by US Treasuries and cash in fully segregated and bankruptcy-remote accounts.
-
Although USDP is designed to be institutional-grade, regulatory compliant and customer protection-focused, it is not widely used in the crypto markets. Therefore, USDP is most suitable for (a) making and receiving cross-border payments and (b) passive stablecoin holders who seek exposure to USD but cannot or do not want to hold USD in a bank account.
