Paypal's PYUSD Nears $1B Milestone

The stablecoin asset issued by Paypal is now the sixth largest stablecoin asset today after growing significantly over the past ten days.

Paypal’s (NASDAQ: PYPL) stablecoin, PYUSD, has seen a remarkable surge in market capitalization, propelling it to become the sixth-largest dollar-pegged token. Notably, over the past ten days, PYUSD's supply has increased by an impressive $140.9 million.

As of August 16, PYUSD's market valuation stands at $791.9 million, up significantly from $651 million on August 06, according to data from CoinGecko. Interestingly, a larger PYUSD supply now circulates on Solana compared to Ethereum, with 449 million SOL-based PYUSD in circulation.

This translates to 56.7% of the total PYUSD minted being on Solana. Among the top ten stablecoins ranked by market valuation, PYUSD has recorded the highest growth over the last 30 days, surging by 34.9% since July 16.

To reach the $1 billion milestone, at least $209 million more PYUSD needs to be minted by the project. Furthermore, to surpass FDUSD, PYUSD still has a ways to go, as it needs to climb by $1.54 billion to surpass FDUSD's $2.34 billion.

Paypal's PYUSD stablecoin has shown impressive momentum, outpacing other stablecoins in recent growth. With a substantial portion minted on Solana, it has positioned itself as a strong competitor in the stablecoin market since its launch. However, to achieve the $1 billion milestone and surpass other competitors, PYUSD must continue its rapid expansion and sustain this upward trajectory.
