This guide walks you through the standard automated minting flow (USD > Stablecoin), where funds are sent via bank transfer and converted into stablecoins on supported blockchain networks. The steps are the same for USDG, PYUSD and USDP.
Watch a demo: See the full minting flow from start to finish before getting started.

​
What You’ll Do

  1. Add a destination wallet address (This is where you’ll receive the stablecoin).
  2. Create minting instructions, which define:
  • How you’ll send USD to Paxos (SWIFT or ABA, DBS-ACT, CUBIX).
  • Which stablecoin you want (USDG, PYUSD, USDP).
  • Where the stablecoin should go (wallet + network).
  1. Send USD to the Paxos platform using the generated deposit details.
Paxos will automatically mint the stablecoin and send it to your wallet. Mint Workflow

➊ Add Destination Wallet Address​

You must add a wallet address before minting. This is where your stablecoins will be sent. Minting Add Address
  1. Navigate to Addresses in the Paxos dashboard.
  2. Click ⊕︎ Address.
  3. Enter a name for the address and select the blockchain network.
  4. Retrieve the external wallet address and paste it in the Network Address field.
  5. Fill in the beneficiary details requirements.
  6. Click Save
Use the Approvals functionality to require additional team members to review any new addresses before they are saved. This avoids potential mistakes around incorrect addresses and adds an extra layer of security. Only approved addresses can be used in any mint process.

Minting instructions are reusable and immutable. Access Saved Instructions to reuse them anytime you want to mint the same asset.
