Deryck Graham and Nitin Guar explore the seismic shift in the world of #cryptocurrency with PayPal's unprecedented move into the stablecoin arena. Launching its own US dollar-denominated stablecoin, #PYUSD, PayPal is breaking boundaries in the digital payments landscape. Designed specifically for #Web3 and digital payments, this #Ethereum-based token is set to redefine how PayPal's U.S. users transact, marking an industry-first from a financial giant. The ability to transfer, pay, and convert cryptocurrencies using PYUSD is not just innovative; it's a game-changer that positions PayPal as a major onramp and offramp for retail cryptocurrency holders. Alongside Mastercard and Visa's efforts to onboard cryptocurrencies, this move may signal a major challenge to the SEC's attempts to control digital assets in the USA. Join us as we delve into this exciting development and what it means for the future of #DigitalAssets and #Stablecoins.
