About Pax Dollar

Pax Dollar (USDP, formerly Paxos Standard or PAX) is a regulated US dollar stablecoin issued by Paxos Trust Company, a New York-regulated financial institution. Each USDP is backed 1:1 by US dollars held in FDIC-insured accounts or US Treasury bills. Paxos publishes monthly attestation reports verified by independent accountants to confirm full backing. As one of the first regulated stablecoins, USDP offered an alternative to Tether with transparent reserve management. Paxos also issues BUSD (for Binance) and PAX Gold (PAXG) using the same regulatory framework.
