Stablecoin issuer Paxos is preparing to roll out its products on Arbitrum One, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, marking an expansion of its services.
While the exact Paxos products for Arbitrum remain unspecified, Luke Xiao from Offchain Labs, the team behind Arbitrum, confirmed that Paxos will bring its stablecoin issuance and regulated tokenization services to the platform.
