About PayPal USD
PayPal USD is a dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Paxos for PayPal, backed by dollar deposits, short-term treasuries and cash equivalents. It connects a mainstream payments company to public blockchains.
How PayPal USD Works
Paxos, a regulated New York trust company, issues and redeems the token and holds the reserves, publishing monthly reports on their composition. PYUSD can be held and transferred inside PayPal and Venmo, or moved onto public blockchains and used like any other token.
The History of PayPal USD
PYUSD launched in August 2023, making PayPal the first major US payments company to issue its own stablecoin. It started on Ethereum and later expanded to Solana to reach cheaper, faster settlement, and has been integrated into PayPal's own consumer and merchant products.
What PYUSD Is Used For
PYUSD is used for payments and transfers between PayPal users and on-chain addresses, and to hold a dollar balance that moves freely between the two. It is increasingly accepted across exchanges and DeFi applications.

YouHodler combines advanced security and encryption with a simple way to buy and sell PYUSD, fast crypto transactions, support for multiple fiat currencies, and a platform that works for newcomers and experienced traders alike.
Is PayPal USD a good investment? +
PYUSD is designed to hold its dollar peg, not to grow in value, and its distinguishing feature is the distribution reach of a mainstream payments company. It is newer and far less liquid than established dollar tokens, and it carries the usual issuer and reserve risk.

Yes. YouHodler supports selling as well as buying, so you can acquire PYUSD and later exchange it for fiat currencies such as USD or EUR. Transactions settle quickly, major fiat currencies are supported, and withdrawals go out by bank transfer.
Is it safe to buy PayPal USD? +
Buying PYUSD is generally safe on a reliable platform like YouHodler, which applies data encryption, identity verification and multi-layer account protection. The asset itself stays highly volatile, so prices can move sharply over short periods.
