As mentioned, Paypal (PYPL.O) has announced the launch of USD stable coin for transfers and payments. PayPal USD (PYUSD) by Paxos Trust Co. is issued and backed entirely by deposits in US dollars, short-term Treasury bills, and similar cash equivalents.

It is pegged to the US dollar and will gradually be available to PayPal customers in the United States. As an ERC-20 token issued on the Ethereum blockchain, the token can also be transferred to a compatible third-party wallet outside the PayPal network.

PayPal says Paxos will publish monthly reports detailing the PYUSD-backed asset starting next month. Paxos will also disseminate third-party, public endorsements of the value of its new stablecoin reserve asset.

Given that the US is strengthening its controls on the crypto industry, this could be a bold move for Paxos, especially since the company just filed an SEC lawsuit in mid-February. This year involves Binance’s stablecoin (BUSD).

However, at least one US lawmaker quickly voiced support for PayPal’s new initiative. Patrick McHenry, the Chairman of the US House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, supports PayPal’s stablecoin launch and its correlation with bipartisan stablecoin regulation. McHenry recently protested after the American Bankers Association criticized the stablecoin law the congressman helped draft.
