The Unwinding of BUSD
SUMMARY
- The crypto industry was again shaken this week when news came out that the NY Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) had ordered Paxos to stop issuing BUSD, with an NYDFS spokesperson saying Paxos “violated its obligation to conduct tailored, periodic risk assessments and due diligence refreshes of Binance and Paxos-issued BUSD customers to prevent bad actors from using the platform.”
- Additionally, it was revealed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sent a Wells notice to Paxos, informing the company that the SEC is considering legal action against Paxos, alleging that BUSD is a security. (I’ve offered my thoughts on the regulatory aspect of this here.)
- We’ve covered BUSD’s growth and market share extensively in previous Data Debriefs, noting that about 35% of Binance volume is denominated in BUSD and it quickly grew to the third largest stablecoin by market cap
