Launch of PYUSD

On August 7, PayPal announced the launch of PYUSD. According to CEO Dan Shulman, the stablecoin will solidify the company’s dominance in digital payments by enabling instant and cheap transfers without a centralized authority.

According to the developers, the stablecoin is fully backed by US dollar deposits, short-term treasury bonds and similar cash equivalents. USD-pegged PYUSD will eventually be available to US customers.

The stablecoin will be used mainly in the cryptocurrency and Web3 sectors, in particular for trading other digital tokens and in-game payments. Later, its application may spread to other areas.

Fake PYUSD tokens flood the market

The news of the launch of a stablecoin from PayPal has activated scammers who have launched fake PYUSD tokens. Some of them have succeeded significantly – the trading volume of one of the fake Ethereum tokens under the ticker PYUSD on the Uniswap crypto exchange has reached $2.9 million.

However, company representatives recalled that only registered PayPal users can conduct transactions with the stablecoin. Moreover, any transactions with the coin are only available within the system, as well as in PayPal-compatible wallets.
