PayPal USD (PYUSD) is a stablecoin issued by Paxos, a leading regulated blockchain infrastructure and tokenization platform. PYUSD is designed to maintain a stable value over time, relative to the U.S. dollar. This digital currency is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, U.S. treasuries, and cash equivalents, ensuring that each PYUSD token is equivalent to 1 USD. PYUSD operates on the Ethereum blockchain, a platform known for its programmability, making it a useful digital currency that can be integrated into public blockchains and help bridge the traditional economy and Web3.
PYUSD operates on the Ethereum blockchain, a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts. As a stablecoin, PYUSD is designed to maintain a steady value over time relative to the U.S. dollar.

The reserves for PYUSD are held 100% in these assets, ensuring that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos. The reserves and the issuance of PYUSD are subject to strict regulatory oversight by the New York State Department of Financial Services, ensuring transparency and trust in the system.
PYUSD aims to provide inclusive, broad access to the financial system and enable fast and efficient money movement. As a programmable digital currency, PYUSD can be built into public blockchains, linking the traditional economy and Web3.

How PayPal USD and United States Dollar differ
PayPal USD (PYUSD) and the US Dollar (USD) are both tied to the value of the American dollar, but they operate in fundamentally different realms. PYUSD is a stablecoin, a type of digital currency issued by Paxos and operating on the Ethereum blockchain. It aims to maintain a stable value over time, relative to the USD, and is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, U.S. treasuries, and cash equivalents. This ensures that each PYUSD token is equivalent to 1 USD. PYUSD's programmability allows it to be integrated into public blockchains, bridging the traditional economy and Web3.
