LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Paxos Trust Company, the firm
behind Binance's stablecoin, was unable to administer the token
in a "safe and sound" manner, a spokesperson for New York's
chief financial regulator told Reuters on Monday.
The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), which
has ordered Paxos to stop issuing Binance USD, found that 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," the NYDFS spokesperson said via email.
