Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a
trustworthy way. Today'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.
As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to
tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like
PayPal, Novi, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded
blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading
investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration
Partners. Together, we empower today's financial leaders to build a more open,
trusted economy.
