Binance, the global  cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain ecosystem, today announced the launch date of BUSD, a fully compliant USD-denominated stablecoin, as the week of September 16, 2019; and will add BUSD trading pairs on the same day. The launch date and new listing was jointly announced by Binance CFO Wei Zhou and Richmond Teo, Co-Founder and CEO Asia of Paxos Trust Company at Invest: Asia in Singapore, providing more stablecoin trading options for Binance users.

Wei Zhou, Chief Financial Officer at Binance, said,

“Launching a stablecoin approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) is a strategic step for Binance to provide on-chain financial services for users across the world. We are happy to work with Paxos, a reputable leader on digital trust services, and hope to launch more compliant stablecoins backed by fiat reserves in the future, introducing more stability to the cryptocurrency world.”

Rich Teo, Paxos Co-Founder and CEO Asia, added,

“We’re excited BUSD is now live on Paxos. This is a meaningful product that can bring stability and transparency to cryptocurrency markets globally. Paxos’ stablecoin as a service offering allows innovators like Binance to take a trusted, regulated approach to building stablecoins for their users.”

BUSD will be officially issued on Paxos’ platform for direct purchase and redemption 1:1 for US Dollars starting today, September 12, 2019; meanwhile, it will be listed at Binance.com, available for trading against BTC, BNB and XRP. BUSD is the second stablecoin developed by Binance after BGBP, a GBP-pegged stablecoin issued on Binance Chain.
