Paxos is a leading blockchain and tokenization infrastructure provider. On February 3, 2023, SEC issued a Wells notice to Paxos stating, “BUSD is a security and that Paxos should have registered the offering of BUSD under the federal securities laws”. 

After that, the New York Department of Financial Services ordered the cryptocurrency firm Paxos to stop issuing the stablecoin. And соопшти ДИК on February 13 that it planned to sue the company for violating investor protection laws. That led to a decline in the price of the crypto token.
