About Project
Paxos Standard is the world's first regulated crypto asset. The Paxos Standard Token is fully backed by 1: 1 USD issued by the Paxos Trust Company and is approved and regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).

The Paxos Standard was designed as an Ethereum token, written in accordance with the ERC-20 protocol, so anyone with an Ethereum wallet can send and receive Paxos Standard tokens.
PAX token
The Paxos Standard Token (PAX) is an ERC20 token that is 100% backed by US dollars. For every PAX being traded, there must be at least one US dollar in the Paxos bank accounts.

Roadmap
PAX is upgrading clearing and settlement to meet the speed and efficiency of trading. In the next chapter, Paxos intends to become a fully registered clearing agency with the SEC. It has submitted its draft application to the SEC staff intending to become the second Clearing Agency actively settling US equity trades for broker-dealers in 2021. If approved, broker-dealers will have a choice of clearing agency solutions for the first time in decades. PAX will deliver the benefits of faster, cheaper, and more capital efficiency to the equities markets — and then to many other assets in the near future.
Perspective
PAX is on the market for a relatively short time. Due to the support of the Paxos Trust Company, which has gained recognition since 2012, the cryptocurrency is gaining momentum and popularity. First of all, its advantage is evidenced by the fact that the creator company has been among the leaders in the developers of virtual coins for the last 6 years. In addition, the project has unshakable financial support in the face of the US financial system. On the other hand, this cryptocurrency has its competitors who offer the same list of services and are provided with no less serious support. Many users are attracted by the audit level, the usability of these tokens, and the fact that they can be exchanged for dollars within 24 hours. Thanks to this, many experts regard the prospects for the Pax currency as quite high. In the event of a massive transition to digital currency and the emergence of an opportunity to pay for a product or household appliances with tokens, the Pax currency will become one of the main ones, given its strong exchange rate.
