Paxos Becomes First Blockchain-Native SEC-Approved Clearing Agency

Paxos has become the first blockchain-native company to be approved and registered as a clearing agency by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Its subsidiary, Paxos Securities Settlement Company, is now authorized to act as a central securities depository in the United States. This registration is the culmination of seven years of work with the SEC, including a 2019 No-Action Letter and a settlement pilot involving major financial institutions. The approval marks a significant step in the convergence of blockchain technology with traditional capital markets. A registered blockchain clearinghouse reduces the need for banks and brokerages to build their own crypto-based infrastructure. Paxos's earlier pilot demonstrated that blockchain-based post-trade infrastructure could enable same-day settlement, lower costs, and improve operational efficiency within a regulated framework. Paxos is also known as a stablecoin issuer, with products like Pax Gold (PAXG) and PayPal USD (PYUSD).
