Paxos expands stablecoin issuance to Solana

Leading tokenization platform Paxos has announced its expansion into the Solana blockchain, marking a significant move beyond its previous Ethereum exclusivity. 

The integration into Solana (SOL) is a strategic step for Paxos, given Solana’s reputation for high-speed transactions and lower fees. This move particularly benefits U.S. dollar stablecoins and payment processes, as Solana’s network offers an efficient and cost-effective environment. Paxos’s stablecoin, USDP, is expected to leverage Solana’s robust architecture to enhance its performance further.

Raj Gokal, co-founder of Solana, believes this collaboration will enable Paxos to continue its pursuit of a more open and financially inclusive future.

The New York State Department of Financial Services regulates Paxos Trust Company LLC. The regulatory oversight ensures the integrity and security of its products and platform. USDP, like all Paxos stablecoins, maintains a full 1:1 backing by the U.S. dollar. The launch is scheduled for Jan. 17.
