PayPal Makes Retail Stablecoin Play with PYUSD on Solana

Payments giant PayPal’s (PYPL) stablecoin PYUSD is coming to Solana almost a year after first debuting on the Ethereum blockchain. The launch could bring new interest to a modestly sized crypto asset that hasn’t caught fire despite its name-brand backing. PYUSD has around 8,600 holders on the Ethereum blockchain and a market cap of under $400 million. “Ethereum works well enough,” said PayPal's Senior Vice President of Blockchain, Jose Fernandez da Ponte.
