 <p>The expansion in Abi Dhabi comes just a few weeks after Paxos received in-principle approval to issue stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar in Singapore. The Monetary Authority of&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;recognized the stablecoin as compliant with the regulatory framework proposed by the regulator even before its main provisions came into force.</p>
 <p>In early 2023 reports surfaced that the New York Department of Financial Services started investigating Paxos. Following the rumors, the firm <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="issue" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/issue.html">issue</a>d a statement, saying it had not been asked to withdraw its application for a national trust bank charter from the New York’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).</p>
 <p>A few days later, Paxos halted minting the Binance USD stablecoin following a Wells notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.</p>
