This follows a similar approval from regulators in Singapore, where Paxos plans to launch a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin. Paxos plans to expand the use of its stablecoins upon full approval and emphasizes transparency regarding its stablecoin reserves.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted a message regarding "Paxos claiming nearly 20 BTC fees", stating that due to time zone differences, the claim was actually made after the original deadline.

The last time someone did this with Zcash, I banned his entire company."
