This strategic move underscores Visa's commitment to staying at the forefront of digital finance innovation.
PayPal's Introduction of PayPal USD
In a parallel development, PayPal has introduced its own stablecoin, the PayPal USD (PYUSD), aiming to streamline transactions and provide users with a stable digital currency option.
