Global Dollar (USDG)

USDG is issued by Paxos Digital Singapore, a Major Payments Institution supervised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. In the European Union, issuance is handled by Paxos Issuance Europe Oy, an Electronic Money Institution regulated by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. The token is also structured to comply with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, giving it a clear regulatory footing in a major stablecoin market.

The project’s central proposition is the combination of dollar stability with blockchain-based speed, availability, and programmability. USDG can move continuously across supported digital asset networks, enabling round-the-clock transfers and integration into applications that require a reliable dollar-denominated asset.

Reserve and compliance controls are a key part of USDG’s design. Paxos applies requirements around capital, redemption, disclosure, reserve attestations, audits, and supervisory review. Reserve assets are held in segregated trust arrangements for the benefit of token holders, which is intended to reduce counterparty risk if an issuer faces insolvency. USDG therefore positions itself as a compliance-led stablecoin for users that need transparent dollar exposure in digital markets.
