Paxos expands its stablecoin to the Solana blockchain

  • Paxos has expanded to Solana, the first expansion for its USDP stablecoin to a new blockchain.
  • The regulated company will issue its stablecoin on Solana starting January 17, 2024.

Stablecoin issuer Paxos has expanded its Stablecoin issuance to the Solana blockchain, marking the company’s second blockchain integration after Ethereum. 

The firm’s Pax Dollar (USDP) stablecoin is planned for mainnet integration with Solana on January 17, 2024, according to details in a blog post published on December 22.

According to Paxos, the strategic expansion to a new blockchain “represents a significant milestone” in its innovation and evolution.

“The expansion of our Stablecoin platform to support Solana marks an important step towards making Stablecoins ubiquitous for everyday consumers,” Paxos head of strategy Walter Hessert, said. “Paxos has set the standard for oversight, reserve management and issuance in the Stablecoin market. By integrating USDP with Solana, we’re making it easier for anyone to get and use the safest, most reliable Stablecoins.”

Paxos also issues PYUSD and PAXG

Paxos is regulated in the US by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and in Singapore by the country’s central bank the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Paxos Trust Company was granted the BitLicense in May 2015.

In November this year, Paxos announced it had received two preliminary approvals for stablecoin issuance in Abu Dhabi.

Today’s announcement reportedly comes after NYDFS granted it a regulatory greenlight.

Other than USDP, Paxos also issues PayPal USD (PYUSD) and Pax Gold (PAXG). In June this year, the NYDFS order the stablecoin issuer to halt issuance of the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin. Paxos later announced it had ended its relationship with crypto exchange Binance.

Benjamin Cowen, a cryptocurrency strategist, is bearish on Ethereum (ETH) because the second-largest digital asset has failed to climb back above a key resistance level. In a new video, Cowen tells his 785,000 YouTube subscribers that the price of Ethereum is likely to go down because there is a lot of “anxiety” around the $1,800 mark. Cowen says that there isn’t as much “apathy” in the market as there was during the bear season of 2019/2020. “There’s so much anxiety in this level [$1,800 resistance level] like I think it’s much more likely to break down eventually… I will be the first to admit it’s taking longer than I thought it would. But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...
