Overview
- Proposal V2 would integrate USDH across PayPal products — Checkout, Braintree, Venmo, Hyperwallet and Xoom — with HYPE listings on PayPal and Venmo subject to approval and free USDH on/off‑ramps.
- Paxos sets TVL‑linked terms: no issuer revenue until USDH reaches $1 billion in TVL, a 5% cap after $5 billion, and any fees held in HYPE.
- A $20 million incentive pool targets adoption, liquidity and trading on Hyperliquid to seed USDH use across the network.
- The race remains open before the Sept. 14 validator vote, with Polymarket odds leaning to Native Markets and backroom‑deal allegations from Dragonfly’s Haseeb Qureshi disputed by other participants.
- Paxos touts regulated expansion, including a claim of unique European issuance authorization, and its recent $48.5 million NYDFS settlement is being cited by critics.
