The approval gives Paxos access to the third market after the New York-headquartered firm obtained licenses to offer crypto-related services in the U.S. and UAE.
The expansion comes after Paxos <a href="https://crypto.news/stablecoin-issuer-paxos-cuts-20-of-workforce-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reduced</a> 20% of its staff, representing 65 team members. In an internal email letter to staff, Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla said that the move was needed to “best execute on the massive opportunity ahead in tokenization and stablecoins,” reassuring that the firm is in a “very strong financial position to succeed.”
Founded in 2012 by Charles Cascarilla and Rich Teo, Paxos focuses on regulated blockchain infrastructure. The firm has raised nearly $540 million in funding rounds from multiple investors, including Oak HC/FT, Declaration Partners, and Mithril Capital, among others.
