About the episode
Paxos is an international leader in onchain asset solutions – particularly when it comes to global regulatory standards, user protection and risk management, and the future of real yield.
They're the entity behind PayPal USD and the gold-backed PAXG. They're also a Coinshift partner: our csUSDL is backed by the Paxos-issued USDL, a revolutionary stablecoin pegged to the US dollar that earns users up to 5% APY from US Treasuries and cash equivalents, just for holding. (You can read more about what csUSDL can do here.)
It's no wonder Coinshift thought of Paxos head of product Ronak Daya for our first-ever episode of the *Not Financial Advice podcast.
The Square and Coinbase veteran brings decades of experience in product management and business leadership to the Paxos executive team, where Ronak shapes the vision and strategy behind the company's vast portfolio — from PYUSD, USDL, and PAXG to tokenization, crypto brokerage, stablecoin solutions, and more.
Bottom line: if PayPal sought out Paxos to launch its stablecoin, you know their product team is legit. We couldn't help but cut straight to the point and ask for a step-by-step guide covering everything from engineering to jurisdiction.
Here's what we learned.
