The expansion in Abi Dhabi comes just a few weeks after Paxos <a href="https://crypto.news/paxos-to-issue-usd-stablecoin-in-singapore/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">received</a> in-principle approval to issue stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar in Singapore. The Monetary Authority of&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;recognized the stablecoin as compliant with the regulatory framework proposed by the regulator even before its main provisions came into force. 
In early 2023 reports <a href="https://crypto.news/paxos-reportedly-investigated-by-new-york-officials/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">surfaced</a> that the New York Department of Financial Services started investigating Paxos. Following the rumors, the firm issued a statement, saying it had not been asked to withdraw its application for a national trust bank charter from the New York’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). 
A few days later, Paxos <a href="https://crypto.news/paxos-to-stop-minting-new-busd-stablecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">halted</a> minting the Binance USD stablecoin following a Wells notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
