PAX was launched on September 10, 2018, with the approval of the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).It is the first regulated USD stablecoin that ensures open auditing, resource security, and is bolstered by an extensive number of exchanges, making it a stable “digital dollar” in every sense of the term, unlike Tether, which can’t ensure its token is always worth $1.
