In case you missed it, PayPal just announced that its stablecoin, PYUSD, is now live on the Solana blockchain, making it the second network after Ethereum to support the asset. The move aims to take advantage of Solana’s lower fees and faster settlement times, which could make PYUSD more usable for micropayments and retail-facing apps.
What’s interesting is that PayPal is actively promoting PYUSD’s use in Web3 apps — not just within its own ecosystem.
Could this be a signal that traditional fintech is getting more comfortable with public blockchains? And more importantly, will this start shifting stablecoin dominance away from USDT and USDC?
Would love to hear your thoughts — bullish integration or just another branding move?
Interesting development indeed. PayPal integrating PYUSD with Solana could mark a notable step toward broader real-world stablecoin adoption — especially for low-fee, high-speed transactions.
Whether it challenges USDT/USDC dominance remains to be seen, but it’s clear that traditional players are inching closer to public blockchain ecosystems.
Let’s see how the market and users respond over the next few quarters.
