Ontology (ONT) announced that it will launch a regulated stablecoin, Paxos Standard (PAX), on the Ontology blockchain. The stablecoin would be launched in May 2019 and it will make full use of application scenarios on an Ontology (ONT) partner project (Decentralized Finance) beyond exchanges. This is likely to bring obvious improvement to ONT, both in market value and price stability.

Paxos Standard will continue to use PAX as its ticker in line with Ontology’s OEP-4 token standard, and it will enable atomic swaps between the Ontology-based main blockchain and blockchain network, allowing individual and institutional users run fiat pegged business in the Ontology ecosystem.

The stablecoin issuer, Paxos, through its partnership with Ontology, will issue about 100 million of its tokens, on the blockchain network of the latter when the official release is due.

Unlike Tether and other stablecoins that are registered Money Services Businesses (MSB), PAX is authorized by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), and it was launched on 10th September, 2018.

PAX is the first regulated USD stablecoin that makes auditing transparent and supported by a lot of exchanges, and this makes it a stable digital dollar. Ahead of Tether, PAX stablecoin can always guarantee its worth as $1.

As an addendum, top US audit firms are involved in auditing PAX on monthly basis, creating consistency between the amount of USD in the account and the PAX in circulation.

The team behind the Ontology (ONT) blockchain network has been up and doing with scaling up and realizing business applications since the release of its MainNet in June 2018. Ontology (ONT) is also proud to have rapid product duplication, constant community growth and offers a unique and easy to access platform for blockchain developers.
