Data Quality

Data: Medium

Despite Paxos' strong regulatory moat and revenue growth, the current valuation of $2.4B implies a 13.3x revenue multiple, far above public fintech comps (3-8x), and the probability of multiple compression is high given critical incumbent threats from Tether/Circle/Bridge.
