The Arbitrum Foundation announced that Paxos, a regulated blockchain infrastructure and tokenization platform, will integrate with Arbitrum, the leading Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution on Ethereum. Arbitrum is the first L2 network that Paxos will enable, joining one of the largest on-chain ecosystems in the space and expanding its presence in the Ethereum ecosystem.
This partnership is a crucial development for facilitating further institutional integration onto the Arbitrum network and bringing real-world assets on-chain. Via Arbitrum, Paxos will tap into Etherum’s deep liquidity, at higher speeds and low cost, and engage Arbitrum’s active DeFi ecosystem. Enterprises and institutions will leverage these capabilities to enable innovative financial products and services.
Luke Xiao, Fintech Partnership Lead at Offchain Labs commented on the news, “We are excited that Paxos has decided to bring their stablecoin issuance and regulated tokenization platform to Arbitrum. Arbitrum’s high performance network and robust ecosystem makes it a natural home for Paxos’ tokenization platform. This collaboration brings together Paxos’ industry-leading infrastructure and Arbitrum’s robust onchain ecosystem. We’re excited to see the transformative impact this will have on DeFi and the broader Arbitrum ecosystem.”
Paxos’ highly regulated approach ensures that its tokenization offerings comply with financial regulations in each region of operation. With trust and credibility built into its platform, Paxos supports leading enterprises and institutions that will now be able to leverage Arbitrum’s highly-scalable and efficient network.
Walter Hessert, Head of Strategy at Paxos, added “We are excited to partner with Arbitrum to bring more real-world assets on-chain. Arbitrum is known for its speed, security and scalability, which is critical to driving long-term adoption of digital assets across industries. In the next three years, the adoption of stablecoins by both retail and institutional user will explode and Paxos will drive that paradigm shift.”
