PayPal's stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD-USD), is nearing its debut on the Stellar blockchain after receiving a non-objection from the New York State Department of Financial Services. This brings the stablecoin one step closer to launch.
PayPal Holdings' (NASDAQ:PYPL) dollar-backed stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD-USD), is nearing its debut on the Stellar (XLM-USD) blockchain after the New York State Department of Financial Services raised no objection to the plan. This non-objection update from the NYDFS, received by Paxos Trust Company on Aug. 18, brings the stablecoin one step closer to launch [1].The Stellar blockchain, known for its low transaction fees and high speed, offers potential benefits to PYUSD users. By expanding to Stellar, users would gain access to the network's on and off ramps, enabling additional access through digital wallets and connecting to local payment systems and cash networks. This move could significantly enhance the usability and reach of PayPal's stablecoin.
The non-objection update comes despite Paxos' previous regulatory challenges. In 2022, Paxos was fined by the NYDFS for anti-money laundering deficiencies and compliance failures related to its alliance with crypto exchange Binance. However, the recent update indicates that the regulatory environment is becoming more favorable for stablecoin initiatives [2].
The launch of PayPal USD on the Stellar blockchain is expected to be a significant milestone for PayPal, which has been increasingly exploring the crypto space. This move aligns with the broader trend of companies adopting stablecoins to facilitate digital transactions and potentially expand into new markets.
