About PayPal USD (PYUSD)

PayPal USD (PYUSD), aka PYUSD, is a fiat-backed stablecoin designed to maintain a value of 1 US dollar. PYUSD offers a way to transact and store value in stable digital currency. It is issued and redeemed by Paxos Trust, a regulated entity, in partnership with PayPal.

Stablecoins are usually pegged to a traditional asset like the US dollar or the Euro. Cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, can change in price significantly. However, a stablecoin aims to stay affixed in value. One stablecoin typically equals one unit of the asset it represents. For example, $1 US dollar equals 1 PYUSD.

Stablecoins like PYUSD are widely used for payments, savings, as store of value, and as a stable medium of exchange and bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). You can use PYUSD to trade and transact digital currencies, as well as participate in blockchain networks such as Ethereum and others that support ERC-20 tokens. PYUSD is an ERC-20 token, which means it is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Its value is maintained through full fiat backing and regular attestations, rather than decentralized mechanisms or algorithmic collateral.

PYUSD is beneficial for crypto networks because it increases accessibility, liquidity, and interoperability. With PYUSD, users can transact with a dollar-backed price-stable asset across different blockchains.

You can redeem PYUSD for other assets through centralized or decentralized exchanges (CEXs or DEXs), or by converting directly with supported platforms, subject to their procedures for USD redemption. Today, PYUSD is recognized as a widely used US dollar-backed stablecoin, trusted for payments, trading, DeFi, and more.
