PYUSD removes risk for enterprises & institutions

High standards of consumer protection

Paxos’ issuance of the stablecoin PYUSD – and its reserves – are subject to strict regulatory oversight by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

1:1 redemption, readily available

Reserves are held 100% in US dollar deposits, US treasuries and cash equivalents – meaning that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos.

Customer assets protected from bankruptcy, fully segregated

In the event of Paxos’ insolvency, customer assets would not be used to satisfy the debts of Paxos because client assets are held in segregated, bankruptcy remote accounts.
