PayPal USD (PYUSD)

The key shift: it’s not tokens that are competing, but payment stacks.

The winner won’t be the most high-profile launch, but the stack that can move money through the “fiat → settlement → money again” process with clear compliance and custody.

🧵PayPal’s PYUSD continues expanding on Stellar.

PYUSD on @StellarOrg is now supported on @krakenfx.

It may look like a simple exchange listing.

In reality, it is another step in expanding the accessibility of one of the world’s largest regulated stablecoins. 👇

PYUSD is issued by @PayPal in partnership with @Paxos

Its expansion to @StellarOrg reflects growing confidence in the network’s ability to support fast, low-cost and production-ready digital payments.

Now, @krakenfx users can deposit and use PYUSD directly on Stellar.

This is not happening in isolation.

@StellarOrg has steadily become one of the strongest ecosystems for regulated digital dollars:

• USDC
• EURC
• PYUSD
• Native Circle CCTP
• MoneyGram Access
• Stripe’s Bridge operating in production via Airtm

Each addition strengthens the overall network.

The payment infrastructure is already being used at scale.

Through Airtm and Bridge, nearly 50% of enterprise payout volume flowed through Stellar during 2024.

More than $1.2 billion in stablecoin transaction volume was processed.

This is real‑world financial infrastructure, not a proof of concept.

Stellar is also becoming increasingly attractive for institutions.

Recent developments include:

• @MoneyGram joining as a Tier 1 validator
• Tradable bringing up to $1 billion in tokenized private credit
• Growing adoption across wallets, payment providers and exchanges

The ecosystem continues to mature.

What makes Stellar increasingly interesting is not a single partnership.

It is how each piece complements the others.

Stablecoins, tokenized assets, cross‑border payments, wallets and regulated financial services are all reinforcing the same network.

@krakenfx supporting PYUSD on Stellar is another building block in that strategy.

Each integration increases liquidity, accessibility and network effects.

The biggest stories are often not created by one announcement.

They emerge when many independent pieces begin fitting together.
