  • PYUSD’s current market capitalization stands at $700 million, primarily used within crypto ecosystem.
  • Hyperwallet platform integration will enable mass stablecoin payouts in first half of 2024.

PayPal unveiled plans to expand its stablecoin ecosystem during its first investor day under CEO Alex Chriss, signaling a strategic pivot toward business-to-business applications for its PYUSD cryptocurrency, which currently maintains a $700 million market capitalization.

The financial technology giant’s strategy focuses on breaking down internal product silos to create an integrated payment solution. During the event, executives revealed plans to leverage their extensive merchant network, encouraging their 20 million vendors who use PayPal for payment processing to adopt Bill Pay services for vendor settlements.

According to Bloomberg, the company sees particular potential in cross-border transactions, where PYUSD could eliminate foreign exchange fees traditionally associated with international payments.

The integration of Hyperwallet, acquired in 2018, represents a significant advancement in PayPal’s stablecoin strategy. The platform, which specializes in mass payouts for gig economy workers and marketplace sellers, will incorporate PYUSD functionality within the first half of 2024. This development mirrors the success of Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure recently acquired by Stripe, which gained traction through its partnership with US Aid for international payment distributions.

PayPal’s cryptocurrency journey began as one of the first mainstream financial institutions to support retail crypto holdings, and the company has already enabled PYUSD for cross-border transactions for nearly a year. This latest strategic update demonstrates PayPal’s commitment to expanding beyond consumer applications into the broader business payment ecosystem.
