PayPal USD (PYUSD), a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, is fully backed by reserves to ensure its value stays consistent. Issued by Paxos Trust Company, it was first launched on the Ethereum blockchain. Recently, PYUSD made the jump to Solana to boost transaction speeds and cut down on costs, choosing Solana for its low fees, fast processing times, high transaction capacity, and flexibility for developers. You can find more details on this in the PYUSD on Solana White Paper.
PayPal USD (PYUSD) was created by PayPal but is issued and custodied via Paxos Trust Company, a regulated financial institution focused on blockchain infrastructure and digital assets. Regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), Paxos issues stablecoins like Paxos Standard (PAX) and PayPal USD (PYUSD) while providing cryptocurrency custody and settlement services.
PayPal USD was launched in August 2023, surpassing $1 billion in market capitalization one year later.

As a fiat-backed stablecoin, PYUSD attempts to maintain its 1:1 peg with the US dollar via reserves that include dollar deposits, government bonds, and other cash equivalents. While there is never a guarantee that the stablecoin will always maintain its value of $1, Paxos publishes monthly reports in an attempt to provide transparency of PYUSD reserves.
PYUSD and other stablecoins offer a way to remain within the cryptocurrency ecosystem while mitigating the inherent volatility of the market. With the aim of maintaining a stable value, these assets help reduce price fluctuations while offering the benefits of blockchain technology, such as decentralized finance (DeFi).
