Paxos Introduces Global Dollar (USDG) - A US Dollar-Backed Stablecoin Regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)

Built to power global stablecoin adoption SINGAPORE, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Paxos, the leading regulated blockchain and tokenization infrastructure platform, today introduced

Paxos, the world’s leading regulated blockchain infrastructure platform, has announced the launch of the Global Dollar (USDG), a US dollar-backed stablecoin that is substantively compliant with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) upcoming stablecoin framework.

Paxos Digital Singapore Pte. Ltd. is the issuer of USDG and is regulated by MAS. Paxos's affiliate, Paxos Global Pte. Ltd., will integrate with global exchanges, wallets and platforms to seamlessly integrate and distribute USDG to individuals and institutions.

USDG is a new, safe and trusted stablecoin that will accelerate the global adoption of stablecoins. It is designed to support the needs of regulated institutions that maintain higher standards of operation. USDG is available today on Ethereum and will be issued on more blockchains in the near term. Paxos is required to hold only high-quality liquid assets to back USDG - US dollar deposits, short duration US Government securities and other such cash equivalents. This ensures USDG maintains 1:1 parity with the US dollar and consumers can redeem their tokens for fiat at all times.

Ronak Daya, Head of Product at Paxos, said: "Enterprise interest in stablecoins has never been higher than it is today, but the market lacks a solution that combines regulatory compliance with real economic incentives for enterprises. Keeping with the Paxos tradition of powering infrastructure for the world's most important and innovative enterprises, we are thrilled to launch the Global Dollar (USDG). USDG offers a trusted solution with a top-tier banking partner in DBS that will be the catalyst to drive stablecoin innovation and enterprise adoption at a global scale."

Paxos has a strong track record of building blockchain solutions that financial industry leaders can trust. USDG represents the sixth digital asset to be successfully issued by Paxos, the first from Paxos Digital Singapore. Its digital assets include PayPal USD (PYUSD), Pax Dollar (USDP) and Pax Gold (PAXG), which are issued by Paxos Trust Company, LLC, a limited purpose trust company overseen by the New York Department of Financial Services. Paxos International, a UAE-based affiliate of Paxos regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), issues the yield-bearing stablecoin Lift Dollar (USDL). Each of these assets provides users with a quality, 1:1 asset parity overseen by the highest levels of regulatory oversight. The company is the trusted partner for enterprises around the world to tokenize, custody, trade and settle assets.

DBS Bank, Southeast Asia's largest bank by assets and recognized as the Safest Bank in Asia for 16 consecutive years by Global Finance, will serve as Paxos' primary banking partner for cash management and custody of USDG reserves. Dollars backing USDG will be held in reserve and managed by Paxos Digital Singapore via DBS.

The smart contract of USDG can be viewed via Etherscan and GitHub. Businesses interested in learning more about Global Dollar can contact the team at www.globaldollar.com.
