Paxos, a regulated blockchain and tokenization platform, announced that it received a formal termination notice from the SEC on July 9, 2024. The notice states that the SEC will not recommend enforcement action against Paxos Trust Company in the investigation of Binance USD (BUSD). 
Paxos <a href="https://paxos.com/blog/paxos-prevails-in-sec-investigation-of-busd-stablecoin-and-sec-will-not-pursue-enforcement-action/" class="ek-link">issued a statement </a>emphasizing that its USD-backed stablecoins are not securities under federal securities laws. The company called the initial Wells Notice “unwarranted and unjustified.” Paxos expressed pride in its advocacy for stable-value digital assets and welcomed the SEC’s decision. 
“We believe this development will unlock a new wave of stablecoin adoption by leading global enterprises,” Paxos stated. The company highlighted that well-designed stablecoins with robust consumer protections could transform the financial system in payments, settlement, and remittance use cases. 
Paxos assured that customer asset safety remains a priority. Its issued stablecoins are backed 1:1 with US dollar-denominated reserves, fully segregated, and held in bankruptcy remote accounts. Paxos stands out as the only issuer with regulatory oversight to introduce safe solutions, driving significant innovation in the global financial system. 
In earlier developments, the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) <a href="https://www.unlock-bc.com/97147/paxos-busd-and-usdp-issuer-under-investigation-by-new-york-financial-authorities/" class="ek-link">initiated an inquiry</a> into Paxos, the issuer of BUSD and USDP stablecoins, on February 10, 2023. The investigation’s specifics were not disclosed, and the probe’s extent remained unclear at the time.

On June 6, 2024, Paxos International <a href="https://www.unlock-bc.com/124215/paxos-international-usdl-yield-stablecoin-adgm/" class="ek-link">launched Lift Dollar</a> (USDL), sparking excitement in the digital currency community. USDL is a yield-bearing stablecoin from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) that offers a unique approach to stablecoin functionality. However, its limited geographic availability is a significant hurdle to its potential impact.
