Pax Dollar (USDP) is a stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency designed to minimize price volatility. Launched in 2018 by Paxos, a regulated financial institution, Pax Dollar seeks to combine the stability of the U.S. dollar with the efficiency of blockchain technology. Each Pax Dollar token is issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain and is collateralized 1:1 with the USD held in Paxos-owned U.S. bank accounts. This means that for every Pax Dollar token in circulation, there is an equivalent U.S. dollar held in reserve, providing a stable value for the token.
Pax Dollar operates on the Ethereum blockchain, following the ERC-20 protocol. This allows it to be transacted over the Ethereum blockchain in the same way as Ether or any other ERC-20 asset. If a user wants to redeem their USDP, they can send tokens to an address controlled by Paxos. Paxos will then destroy the tokens and transfer fiat currency to the user’s bank account. This process allows for the straightforward exchange of U.S. dollars for Pax Dollar tokens, providing users with the benefits of blockchain assets while minimizing price risk.
