Under review

Under editorial review since 2026-09-14

Charter status is inconsistent across sources: the OCC's December 12, 2025 letter is a conditional approval, but Paxos says the conversion was completed that day. The same OCC letter names Kabompo Holdings, Ltd. (Cayman Islands) as the ultimate parent, so an editor should assess this under the offshore-entity and change-of-control rules. Co-founder Rich Teo is not yet sourced.
