Các nhà quản lý New York điều tra Paxos
Paxos, the issuer of the Binance USD (BUSD) and the Pax Dollar (USDP) stablecoins is reportedly being investigated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) as security of the industry piques.
Although the reason for the investigation hasn’t been revealed yet, Paxos Trust Co. has its headquarters in New York and, as such, is regulated by the New York State Financial Regulator.
Paxos received a “BitLicense” approval from the NYDFS in 2015, which legally permits the stablecoin issuer to conduct digital currency-related activities in New York. Spokespersons of the agency have declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
Paxos từ chối điều tra có liên quan đến yêu cầu ngân hàng
Tháng 4 năm 2021, Paxos nhận được một điều lệ ngân hàng tạm thời từ Văn phòng Kiểm soát Tiền tệ Hoa Kỳ. Kể từ đó, công ty đã cố gắng để đảm bảo một điều lệ ngân hàng tín thác quốc gia.
Sau các báo cáo, đã có tin đồn rằng các cuộc điều tra có thể dẫn đến việc Paxos được yêu cầu rút lại đơn xin một điều lệ ngân hàng đầy đủ. Tuy nhiên, nhà phát hành stablecoin đã bác bỏ những tuyên bố đó, làm rõ:
Để làm rõ suy đoán: Paxos đã không được yêu cầu rút đơn xin điều lệ ngân hàng ủy thác quốc gia từ OTC, cũng như nó đã bị từ chối điều lệ. Paxos tiếp tục làm việc một cách xây dựng với OTC.
