|- Paxos coins will be issued in a new blockchain in May.
- The launch of Ontology-based coins will speed up the blockchain adoption by corporations.
The issuer of Paxos stablecons announced the decision to issue 100 million PAX tokens in partnership with Ontology. THe coins are backed by USD on a 1-to1 ratio, CoinDesk reports.
