Crypto.com Selected as Top Exchange Platform for PayPal USD Stablecoin

PayPal’s engagement with the crypto world is intensifying. A strategic partnership with Crypto.com, underpinned by Paxos, offers a promising glimpse into the future of stablecoin endeavors and enhanced trading capabilities.

Introduced to the market in August 2023, the Ethereum-based PayPal USD stablecoin is slowly making waves. With its backing by US dollar deposits and short-term Treasurys, Paxos Trust Company is at the helm of issuing this stablecoin. Its notable feature is the 1:1 exchange rate with US dollars, presenting a straightforward approach for users.

Joe Anzures, the Senior Vice President of Americas and Global Head of Payment Partnerships at Crypto.com, lauded the collaboration. Highlighting the significance, he stated, “Connecting our more than 80 million users to the latest crypto innovations and supporting PayPal’s global network will be pivotal in our continued pursuit of crypto to every wallet.”

Crypto.com’s recent announcement underlines its robust position in the crypto arena, boasting unparalleled liquidity for PYUSD trading pairs. The crypto platform’s vision aligns seamlessly with PayPal, evident from their past joint venture allowing users to top-up their Crypto.com Visa Cards via PayPal.

In addition to its availability on Crypto.com, PYUSD garners support from major exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken. It also found its way to Venmo users earlier this September. Validating its credibility, the New York State Department of Financial Services included PYUSD on its approved list.

Since its inception in 2016, Crypto.com has evolved into a crypto titan, championing values of privacy, security, and regulatory compliance with its vast user base of over 80 million.
