PayPal Expands PYUSD Stablecoin to Solana for Enhanced Payment Efficiency

The move aims to leverage Solana's lower transaction fees and higher throughput for better retail payment solutions.

  • PYUSD, initially launched on Ethereum, is now available on Solana for broader payment applications.
  • Solana's faster and cheaper transactions are expected to benefit PYUSD's retail and peer-to-peer payment use cases.
  • PayPal's long-term crypto strategy includes exploring new payment functionalities with PYUSD on Solana.
  • Despite its potential, PYUSD remains a small player in the stablecoin market, dominated by USDT and USDC.
  • PayPal's cross-border payment service, Xoom, will also support PYUSD for remittances.
