PayPal is expanding the use of its PYUSD stablecoin in 2025, aiming to support 20 million merchants with a new bill-pay feature.

New Opportunities for Merchants

At PayPal’s annual investor day, the company revealed new merchant product launches, including support for PYUSD stablecoin payments. Michelle Gill, who leads PayPal's small business and financial services unit, explained that PYUSD would reduce currency conversion fees and payment delays.

A lot of the payments we’re expecting are going to be cross-border because merchants in the US are seeking to pay vendors and suppliers abroad.

Integration with Hyperwallet

PayPal plans to integrate PYUSD stablecoin into Hyperwallet this year. Hyperwallet, one of PayPal’s key acquisitions, allows businesses to send payments to freelancers, contractors, and sellers worldwide.

Potential Changes in the Crypto Market

Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, highlighted that stablecoins are booming with a current market cap of $216.26 billion, partly due to platforms like PayPal making them easier to use. Last October, PayPal completed its first transaction with its own stablecoin, showcasing its potential in commercial transactions. Jose Fernandez da Ponte of PayPal pointed out that the speed and availability of settlement make crypto more attractive, and the current US administration is favorable for the crypto market.

PayPal's massive integration of PYUSD demonstrates the significant impact stablecoins can have on the global financial ecosystem, potentially transforming cross-border payments.
