PayPal USD stablecoin expands to 70 markets within PayPal accounts

PayPal said it is making its US dollar stablecoin PYUSD available to users in 70 markets through their PayPal accounts. Users can buy, hold, send and receive PYUSD directly, and the company positions it as a lower-cost way to move money across borders. The expansion widens PayPal's crypto footprint and adds a second settlement rail, though the release gives no volume or market-cap figures.
