In experimental testing, Credit Suisse and Instinet used Paxos’s platform for trade settlements. US-listed stocks were settled on the same day utilizing Paxos services. This was a hallmark victory for Paxos as it marked the first instant of the application of block chain for equities.

After the success of the pilot testing, the stablecoin operator has announced the application for a clearing agency to the SEC. A clearing agency facilitates trades between buyers and sellers. The application of the block chain technology into the stocks & equities market indicates the growing dominance of the technology.
