Paxos is a well-known company that is PayPal's main partner in the field of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Shortly after the announcement of obtaining preliminary approval for the creation of the national trust bank, another round of capital raising with the designation - Series D was launched. Among others, PayPal Ventures, Declaration Partners, Mithril Capital and Senator Investment Group also joined.

Together, Paxos managed to raise up to $ 300 million, bringing the company's value to $ 2.4 billion. In the latest C Series, they managed to raise $ 142 million as a New York start-up. According to the plan, they want to use the obtained funds for the development of the company's infrastructure, the expansion of possibilities within the regulatory processes, security and also for the hiring of new necessary employees. Charles Cascarilla, co-founder and CEO, said demand for enterprise solutions has accelerated much faster than expected.

The company has taken the opportunities that the current market offers really seriously and has started many interesting activities. One of them is the establishment of Paxos National Trust Bank, which they plan to implement soon after obtaining prior approval. So far, only two companies with links to cryptocurrencies - Anchorage and Protego - have managed to obtain a similar license. Paxos has also asked the SEC to register a clearing agency, and they are working intensively in Singapore to obtain a license for a major payment institution.
