Paxos will be unaffected. Things go worse for Binance
Markus Thielen, Head of Research at Matrixport, believes that the SEC is not targeting stablecoins. The charge against Paxos is indirect. The regulators are planning an attack on Binance, which stored customer funds in the same wallet with its collateral for some in-house tokens. The regulations require that exchanges’ corporate assets must be recorded in separate accounts and cannot form part of the proof-of-reserves calculations. That’s simple: Binance cannot confirm its BUSD reserves. Paxos Trust Company, which is the only issuer of the exchange’s stablecoin, serves as a witness in this case, not a defendant. Has CZ fallen into curly-haired Sam’s trap by mixing up customers’ wallets with his own? We find it hard to believe. Hopefully, his accounting skills are way better.
