As momentum continues to grow in Washington and around the world on the future of digital assets, CCI is proud to welcome Paxos as our newest member.
If you’ve followed the evolution of blockchain infrastructure over the past decade, you already know Paxos.
Paxos is a blockchain and tokenization infrastructure platform that provides regulated solutions for institutions and individuals. They’ve built some of the most trusted rails in crypto and finance, from powering PayPal’s crypto offerings to working with institutions like Mastercard, Stripe, and Interactive Brokers. Most recently, Paxos launched Global Dollar (USDG), which powers Global Dollar Network (GDN), the world’s fastest growing stablecoin network with unmatched economic upside. GDN was founded by Paxos alongside Anchorage Digital, Bullish, Galaxy Digital, Kraken, Nuvei, and Robinhood in late 2024.
Paxos has proven how digital assets can work inside the traditional financial system, not just alongside it. And they’ve done it by making compliance, security, and regulation paramount. Paxos was the first to secure a limited purpose trust charter for digital assets from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in 2015. Paxos was also the first U.S. based blockchain infrastructure platform to secure the major payments institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore in 2022. That regulatory DNA makes them a natural fit for CCI’s mission: advancing smart, balanced policy frameworks that enable innovation while protecting consumers.
“At Paxos, we’ve always believed that trust and transparency are the foundation of responsible innovation,” said Lesley Chavkin, Global Head of Public Policy, Paxos. “We’re proud to join CCI and work alongside its members to shape thoughtful policies that protect consumers, support innovation, and bring real-world benefits to the financial system. This is a pivotal moment for digital assets, and collaboration between industry and policymakers has never been more important.”
“Paxos brings strong regulatory expertise, proven infrastructure, and a consistent track record of advocating for thoughtful digital asset policy,” said Ji Hun Kim, President and Acting CEO of CCI. “Their commitment to responsible innovation strengthens CCI’s ability to engage with policymakers and regulators around the world at a critical moment for the future of our industry.”
By joining CCI, Paxos becomes part of a growing coalition of companies working together to ensure that crypto’s next chapter is built on trust, access, and real-world utility. Their experience across tokenization, settlement, and stablecoins brings valuable insight to ongoing policy conversations. CCI is thrilled to welcome Paxos to our membership and looks forward to collaborating on the next wave of crypto innovation.
