Paxos, a blockchain infrastructure platform, has had its subsidiary, Paxos Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï Settlement Company (PSSC), registered as a clearing agency by the US Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to the firm, the registration makes PSSC the only blockchain-native firm approved by the SEC to provide clearing and settlement services as an authorised central securities depository and clearing agency.
The firm says its approval adds “another critical capability� to its infrastructure platform, transitioning its operations from a 2020 No-Action relief pilot for clearing US equities to its current regulatory standing.
Speaking on the registration, Charles Cascarilla, CEO and co-founder of Paxos, says: “Our clearing agency registration is the result of seven years of work with the SEC, beginning with our No-Action Letter in 2019 and the settlement pilot we operated with some of the world's largest and most sophisticated financial institutions.�
