The report also details Paxos’s asset structure. It reveals that there are US Treasury bonds valued at a total market value of 111.59 million dollars within the reserves, with a nominal value reported at 110.71 million dollars. Additionally, there are US Treasury repurchase agreements valued at 585.32 million dollars, with a nominal position value of 573.85 million dollars. Paxos noted that these agreements are collateralized and can be liquidated in case of counterparty default.
Moreover, the reserves include cash valued at 23.22 million dollars, with some of this amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The total market value of the assets reaches 720.15 million dollars, while the total nominal value is reported as 707.79 million dollars.
