Regulated blockchain infrastructure firm Paxos wants to make it easier for broker-dealers to allow their financial adviser clients to trade and manage crypto assets for investors.
- Paxos’s financial adviser crypto trading addition is designed to expand on the company’s crypto brokerage platform. It will build out a broader wealth management system for advisers to better manage crypto assets for their clients.
