PayPal is stepping up its efforts to integrate its stablecoin PYUSD into more of its products this year to facilitate digital payments and reduce transaction friction for merchants worldwide.

PayPal to Expand Stablecoin Usage by Targeting Cross-Border Payments Until the End of 2025

PayPal plans to offer PYUSD as a payment option for more than 20 million small and medium-sized businesses by the end of 2025 and enable sellers to make payments through PayPal's upcoming invoice payment product.

According to Michelle Gill, PayPal's general manager of small business and financial services, this initiative is designed to simplify cross-border transactions by reducing currency conversion costs and delays.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Gill said, "Most of the payments we expect will be cross-border because merchants in the U.S. want to pay vendors and suppliers abroad." "The thesis was: Can we make it easy on the PYUSD rails so that we don't have currency conversion, friction and wasted time?"

PayPal made its first trade last year using PYUSD. Launched in August 2023 and pegged to the U.S. dollar, the stablecoin aims to improve payment efficiency in a variety of use cases.

In addition to seller payments, PayPal will integrate PYUSD into Hyperwallet, a subsidiary that facilitates bulk global payments to freelancers, contractors, and sellers.

The company launched PYUSD payments in the first half of 2024. In addition, PayPal will expand digital asset payment options by enabling cryptocurrency payments for payment transactions by the end of 2025.

PayPal CEO Alex Chriss emphasized the importance of making blockchain technology more practical for daily transactions.

"We've been talking about blockchains for about ten years. The concept of these things never really becomes real until you start spending, and I think we're making that possible."

With these developments, PayPal is at the forefront of promoting the adoption of stablecoin in mainstream commerce, strengthening its commitment to simplifying digital payments and promoting blockchain-based financial solutions.
