In an open letter to Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Paxos CEO and co-founder Charles Cascarilla stated, "The future of America's financial leadership will depend on whether the next presidential administration embraces digital assets and reforms outdated financial regulations."
Cascarilla urged both political figures to recognize the potential of blockchain technology and stablecoins within the U.S. financial system.
He also warned that without a supportive regulatory environment, the United States risks losing its competitive edge in global finance.
Cascarilla further emphasized that despite the rapid adoption of smartphones, access to banking services remains limited—20% of Americans and 40% of the global population remain unbanked or underbanked.
He pointed out that the combination of blockchain and stablecoins offers a solution to build a more transparent and inclusive financial system.
Cascarilla stressed that digital assets are "rebuilding the financial system" to operate over the internet in a "secure, reliable, and transparent manner."
"Stablecoins—or digital dollars (U.S. dollars digitized via blockchain technology)—represent a critical upgrade to payment systems," Cascarilla added. "They will transform how money flows, enable broader participation in the global economy, and ensure the dollar’s dominance for decades to come."
Cascarilla expressed frustration with the increasingly challenging regulatory landscape in the U.S., citing instances of 'regulatory overreach' and complex banking policies that hinder economic growth.
These challenges have already prompted companies like Paxos to consider relocating operations to jurisdictions such as Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, where regulatory frameworks support financial innovation.
In his letter, Cascarilla highlighted that American jobs, capital, and technological expertise will migrate to jurisdictions actively fostering blockchain applications.
He called for bipartisan support in establishing a stablecoin regulatory framework, arguing that such reforms are essential to maintaining U.S. influence in global finance and preserving economic competitiveness.
Finally, Cascarilla urged the next administration to foster collaboration, emphasizing that we are at a 'pivotal moment for financial innovation'. Adopting a "constructive policy approach" toward blockchain and digital assets would strengthen America’s economic leadership and "demonstrate U.S. leadership in digital assets."
