The world of digital payments is witnessing a groundbreaking transformation as PayPal announces the launch of its U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD). 

This fully-backed and regulated PayPal USD stablecoin holds immense potential to revolutionize payments in web3 and digitally native environments. Here are 10 key things you need to know about this game-changing stablecoin:

1. Stability and Backing: PayPal USD Stablecoin is designed to offer stability and reliability, being fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and similar cash equivalents. Each PYUSD is redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars, ensuring complete trust in the stablecoin’s value.

2. Issued by Paxos Trust Company: In respect to its compliance and regulatory commitment, PayPal USD is issued by Paxos Trust Company, a fully licensed limited-purpose trust company subject to regulatory oversight by the New York State Department of Financial Services.

3. Seamless Transfers: Eligible U.S. PayPal customers who purchase PayPal USD can seamlessly transfer it between PayPal and compatible external wallets, enabling quick and efficient peer-to-peer transactions.

4. Payments and Checkout: PYUSD empowers users to send person-to-person payments, fund purchases, and even convert other supported cryptocurrencies to and from PayPal USD, enhancing the versatility and accessibility of digital payments.

5. Bridging Fiat and Web3: PayPal USD acts as a bridge between traditional fiat currencies and web3 environments. Leveraging PayPal’s extensive experience in payments at scale and the power of blockchain protocols, this stablecoin enables a seamless connection between the two worlds.

6. Adoption and Compatibility: As an ERC-20 token issued on the Ethereum blockchain, PayPal USD benefits from the vast and growing community of external developers, wallets, and web3 applications, making it easily adoptable and compatible with exchanges.

7. Frictionless In-Experience Payments: PayPal USD aims to reduce friction for in-experience payments in virtual environments, fostering quick transfers of value to support friends and family, remittances, international payments, and empowering direct flows to developers and creators.

8. Transparency and Accountability: To ensure complete transparency, beginning in September 2023, Paxos will publish a public monthly Reserve Report for PayPal USD, outlining the reserves’ composition. An independent third-party accounting firm will conduct a public third-party attestation of the value of PayPal USD reserve assets, adhering to AICPA standards.

9. Focus on Education and Understanding: Apart from enhancing its product offerings, PayPal is committed to increasing consumer and merchant comprehension of cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The company actively engages with regulators as the digital payment landscape evolves.

10. Global Expansion: While currently available to U.S. accountholders, PayPal’s vision for PayPal USD extends beyond borders. The stablecoin is set to empower the continued expansion into digital assets by some of the world’s largest brands and will soon be available on Venmo.

The launch of PayPal USD represents a significant step towards a future of frictionless, secure, and efficient digital payments. With its fully backed and regulated nature, combined with the convenience of web3 compatibility, PayPal USD is bolstering the way we transact and interact in the digital economy.
