About PayPal USD

PayPal USD (PYUSD) is a regulated USD stablecoin issued by Paxos Trust Company and endorsed by PayPal Holdings, one of the world's largest payments companies. Each PYUSD is backed 1:1 by US dollar deposits, short-term Treasuries, and similar cash equivalents held by Paxos. PayPal integrated PYUSD into its app and Venmo, allowing 430M+ users to buy, sell, hold, and transfer PYUSD. PYUSD launched on Ethereum in 2023 and expanded to Solana in 2024, with PayPal offering zero-fee checkout in PYUSD.
