Paxos obtains SEC approval for clearing agency registration
Prefer us on Google
Blockchain infrastructure platform and stablecoin issuer Paxos announced that its subsidiary Paxos Securities Settlement Company has obtained registration as a clearing agency from the U.S. SEC, allowing it to provide clearing and settlement services as a central securities depository in the United States. The SEC had previously issued a no-action letter to Paxos in October 2019, permitting it to pilot blockchain-based U.S. stock settlement services, which went live in February 2020. Paxos stated that the pilot achieved same-day settlement, reduced costs, and improved operational efficiency within a regulated framework. The stablecoins and digital assets issued by Paxos include PayPal USD, Global Dollar, and Pax Gold. The SEC issued a Wells Notice to Paxos regarding the issuance of Binance USD in 2023 and concluded its investigation in 2024; Paxos also reached a $48.5 million settlement with NYDFS regarding compliance issues related to Binance and BUSD in August 2025.
