Cons	No direct retail access or consumer application Mandatory KYB verification with no anonymous API endpoints Centralized contracts include token freeze and clawback functions Geographic licensing scope is centered primarily on the United States	Redemption depends on eligibility and Paxos onboarding controls Stablecoin access varies by token and blockchain BUSD withdrawals are no longer available on the Paxos Platform Issuer controls and reserve-custody arrangements create freeze and redemption risks
