SEC Ends Paxos Investigation, Clarifies Stablecoin Status The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ended its investigation into Paxos, indicating that stablecoins are generally not considered securities. This decision follows a court ruling favoring Binance and its BUSD stablecoin, influencing the SEC's stance. The move is seen as a positive development in light of Congress delaying new crypto regulations.
Paxos expressed relief and expects the decision to bring more certainty to the market. The verdict could strengthen the stablecoin sector in the US, which has faced regulatory uncertainty. The crypto industry has long wanted clear rules on whether stablecoins should be considered securities.
On July 9, Jorge Tenreiro, acting chief of the SEC’s crypto assets and cyber unit, told Paxos that he would not recommend enforcement action, according to a letter obtained by Fortune. This conclusion came more than a year after Paxos received a Wells notice from the SEC. The warning indicated a possible enforcement action regarding the BUSD stablecoin, issued in collaboration with Binance.
“The end of this investigation is a huge relief for us,” said Walter Hessert, head of strategy at Paxos. “We expected this outcome and it should provide more certainty in the market for large enterprises.” Paxos introduced BUSD with Binance in September 2019. Although BUSD did not overtake its competitors, Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, it became a major player due to its integration with Binance’s ecosystem.
The recent verdict could strengthen the stablecoin sector in the US, which has faced regulatory uncertainty, leading some companies to explore opportunities abroad.
