The stablecoin, PayPal USD, is fully backed by the US dollar and is “designed to reduce friction” for payments within virtual spaces and provide faster, cheaper transfers of money across borders. But PayPal is betting on a future in which digital currency is more mainstream and merchants may request payment in stablecoins to avoid credit card processing fees. In May 2022, the “algorithmic” stablecoin TerraUSD collapsed when the crypto token backing it, Luna, collapsed. The value of PayPal USD, or PYUSD, doesn’t rely on a complex algorithm the way Terra did. In other words: every PayPal USD should be worth $1.00, no matter what.

Feb 21 (Reuters) - The firm behind Binance's stablecoin, Paxos Trust Company, is having constructive discussions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after the firm disclosed that the regulator told the company it should have registered the token as a security, according to an internal email from Paxos' chief executive officer. "We are engaged in constructive discussions with the SEC, and we look forward to continuing that dialogue in private," said Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla in an email sent Saturday to Paxos employees. He added that if necessary, Paxos would defend its position that Binance USD is not a security through litigation.
