What is PYUSD? 

PayPal USD (PYUSD) is a cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar and fully backed by dollar reserves. The stablecoin has seen immense growth since its August 2023 launch, recently surpassing $1 billion in market capitalization.

Issued by Paxos Trust Company and built on the Ethereum blockchain, PYUSD recently expanded availability to Solana in order to increase speed and lower costs. Its reasons for choosing Solana include cost-effectiveness, high throughput, near-instant settlement, and programmability–all of which are explained in more depth in the PYUSD on Solana White Paper.
