PayPal's $1.3B Stablecoin Expands to 9 New Blockchains With LayerZero Integration
0The interoperability protocol is introducing a permissionless version of the token to Aptos, Avalanche, Tron and several other chains.
Payments firm PayPal's (PYPL) U.S. dollar stablecoin is being introduced to nine more blockchains by interoperability protocol LayerZero ZRO$2.0950, expanding the token beyond the four blockchains — Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum and Stellar — where it's natively issued.
LayerZero integrated PayPal USD PYUSD$0.9993, issued by fintech firm Paxos, into its Hydra Stargate system, creating a permissionless version of the token dubbed PYUSD0 that's one-to-one interchangeable with the underlying stablecoin.
The move makes the token available on Abstract, Aptos, Avalanche, Ink, Sei, Stable, and Tron, while existing community-issued versions on Berachain and Flow will convert automatically.
PayPal launched its PYUSD in 2023 as one of the first major payments firm-backed stablecoins. With LayerZero's expansion, the token aims to reach new markets more quickly and provide a dollar-pegged stablecoin within the crypto economy.
Currently, PYUSD has a supply of $1.3 billion, up from around $520 million at the beginning of this year, RWA.xyz data shows.
