What it means

Before this setup, adding more chains was described as a growth constraint for stablecoin issuers, while the OFT standard is presented as the way Global Dollar Network handled expansion as a business decision. In practice, that keeps the focus on distribution while Paxos retains control over security and regulatory compliance, rather than treating each new chain as a separate standalone product.
