About PYUSD
PayPal’s primary mission with PYUSD is to provide the market with a stable form of digital value, designed to connect fiat dollars to the web3 ecosystem. Over time, PayPal looks to utilize PYUSD to reduce friction from everyday payments while improving speed and lowering costs.
In addition to the increased availability and distribution in these first few weeks, PayPal USD has been greenlisted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, making it easier for virtual currency entities licensed in New York to support PYUSD.
