In critical news Today, PayPal decided to launch its stablecoin.
PayPal becomes first major fintech to launch dollar-backed stablecoinPayPal's stablecoin, dubbed PayPal USD, is backed by U.S. dollar deposits and short-term U.S. Treasuries and will be issued by Paxos Trust Co. It will gradually be available to PayPal customers in the United States.
It's an important news to me.
First, because this kind of issuance by private money has already been frowned upon by regulators, think about Meta so that it can be an acid test for regulators: has the stance changed since the Meta experiment?
Secondly, with high-interest rates, collecting liquidity for free and investing in Treasuries can boost PayPal revenues.
This is the contract.
Of course, this is not an isolated venture of PayPal in cryptocurrencies, as they have been quite active in the past, as you may recall.
PayPal to allow cryptocurrency buying, selling and shopping on its networkI am on the move today; I will update this OP with more relevant information later.
