PAX expanding its user-base
Paxos Standard Tokens (PAX) are pegged to the USD, which are kept in banks regulated by the NY Financial Services Department. PAX is backed by USD on a 1:1 rate, which enables the tokens to avoid market volatility and basically lets customers use digital USD.
This has become possible thanks to the partnership with Blockchain.
“We’re putting a U.S. Dollar bank account in anyone’s pocket, anywhere in the world,“ says Peter Smith, Co-founder and CEO at Blockchain.
