Description:
About PaxosToday's financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we're rebuilding it.
We're on a mission to open the world's financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we've built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world's leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers.
