[ad_1]



Major United States-based payment processor PayPal (NASDAQ:) has announced its PYUSD stablecoin is now available on Venmo.

In a Sept. 20 blog post, the payments firm said PayPal USD (PYUSD) — the company’s stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar — is already available to Venmo users and will be “rolling out fully in the coming weeks”. The news came roughly six weeks after PayPal announced the launch of the stablecoin, saying at the time it would be issued by Paxos Trust and fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term Treasuries and similar cash equivalents.
