Paxos, a blockchain and tokenization infrastructure platform, is expanding its stablecoin issuance to the Solana blockchain, marking its first expansion beyond Ethereum. Solana was chosen for its fast transaction rates and lower fees, making it an attractive network for US dollar stablecoins and payments.
Paxos will be bringing its USDP coin, which is pegged to the US dollar, to Solana. This move is seen as an important step towards making stablecoins more accessible to everyday consumers. Paxos is known for its oversight, reserve management, and issuance standards in the stablecoin market.
The expansion to Solana has received regulatory approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), adding to Paxos’ credibility. However, Paxos has faced regulatory challenges in the past, particularly regarding its issuance of the BUSD stablecoin in partnership with Binance.
The Solana ecosystem and its native SOL token have received a boost from this news. SOL has experienced significant growth this year, with a 832% increase in value. Solana also surpassed Ethereum in daily stablecoin transfer volume.
This development highlights the growing importance of Solana as a blockchain platform and its potential to compete with established players like Ethereum. It also showcases Paxos’ commitment to expanding its stablecoin offerings and making them more widely available to consumers.
