Stablecoin Integration: PayPal USD Connects Multiple Blockchains, Steadily Broadening Its Presence

PayPal USD (PYUSD) has now launched on the

blockchain by utilizing LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) framework, and users can now access the stablecoin as PYUSD0 on the TRON platform via Stargate Hydra. This milestone signals major progress in the global growth of PYUSD and highlights increasing connectivity among prominent blockchain ecosystems. The upgrade requires no user intervention, allowing PYUSD and PYUSD0 to operate as interchangeable and cross-chain compatible versions of the same stablecoin.

This development showcases a strategic partnership between

and , using LayerZero’s cross-chain technology to broaden both reach and functionality for PYUSD. Bryan Pellegrino, Co-Founder and CEO of LayerZero Labs, describes stablecoins as the “killer app” within crypto, and the addition of PYUSD to TRON marks a step toward a more integrated, borderless financial environment. The collaboration builds on LayerZero’s recent acquisition of Stargate, which innovated the Hydra approach for distributing assets from a central chain to various spokes. The same Hydra mechanism is now used for bringing PYUSD to TRON and other chains.

TRON has established itself as a fundamental part of the worldwide digital financial system, currently handling about 9 million transactions every day and supporting more than 332 million individual accounts. The network’s total value locked (TVL) has also climbed significantly, now surpassing $28 billion across its ecosystem. Additionally, TRON generated close to $1 billion in protocol revenue in both of the first two quarters of 2025, further demonstrating its growing influence in enabling real-world financial transactions.

PYUSD’s entry onto TRON comes as stablecoins become ever more vital in both consumer and institutional financial sectors. In 2025, stablecoins reached a total market cap of $246 billion, with PayPal USD climbing to the sixth spot among stablecoins, overtaking TRON’s USDD. On the

network, PYUSD supply has now exceeded that of Ethereum, with 56.7% of PYUSD minted on Solana’s high-speed blockchain. This trend underscores the pivotal role that efficient, affordable blockchains play in driving stablecoin usage.

By integrating with TRON, PYUSD is poised to offer smoother transactions and greater availability to users in regions where TRON is widely adopted. For businesses and developers, this move exemplifies the merging of established payment solutions with decentralized blockchain networks. The combined strengths of PayPal’s wide-ranging reach, LayerZero’s interoperability, and TRON’s massive global user base are set to foster a more accessible and advanced financial system.
