PayPal's PYUSD Stablecoin Expands to Stellar Network
Integration aims to reduce transaction costs and increase speed for everyday payments, deepening the connection between traditional finance and blockchain.
September 19, 2025
PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin is now live on the Stellar network.
The integration provides access to faster, low-cost transactions.
The move enhances PYUSD's availability across PayPal, Venmo, and the Stellar ecosystem.
PayPal has launched its PYUSD stablecoin on the Stellar network, making it available to the millions of users within the Stellar ecosystem. This strategic expansion aims to leverage Stellar's low-fee, high-speed blockchain for everyday payment applications. The integration of PYUSD on Stellar provides a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional payment rails.
By adding support for Stellar, PayPal is significantly broadening the reach and utility of its stablecoin. PYUSD is now accessible through PayPal, Venmo, and the wider Stellar network, which includes a variety of on-ramps and off-ramps. This move signals PayPal's growing commitment to blockchain technology as a core component of its future payment infrastructure.
The expansion to Stellar places PYUSD in a stronger competitive position within the stablecoin market. The ability to offer near-instantaneous settlement and minimal transaction fees is a key differentiator as the digital payments landscape becomes increasingly crowded. This development underscores the industry-wide trend of integrating stablecoins into existing payment platforms to improve efficiency and reduce costs for users.
