BitPay, a leading global provider of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment solutions, has integrated PayPal USD (PYUSD), a stablecoin issued by Paxos Trust Company, into its payment offerings, allowing merchants and consumers to seamlessly transact in this innovative digital currency.

PayPal recently launched PayPal USD (PYUSD) to tap into the potential of regulated stablecoins for web3 and digitally native environments.

Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies subject to price volatility, PYUSD is pegged to the value of the U.S. dollar. It is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term U.S. treasuries, and similar cash equivalents, ensuring that one PYUSD can always be redeemed for one U.S. dollar. This stability makes it an attractive choice for both consumers and businesses looking for secure, reliable digital payment options.

Among the first wave of adopters, Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, has embraced PYUSD. This integration empowers gamers to make payment using the PayPal stablecoin, marking a significant step towards mainstream cryptocurrency adoption in the e-commerce sector.

Chris Hewish, CEO of Xsolla, said: “We are excited to partner with BitPay to offer PYUSD payments to our customers. This stablecoin brings an innovative payment solution that aligns with our commitment to providing accessible and secure transaction options. Together with BitPay, we aim to enhance the buying experience for gamers and pave the way for future developments in the cryptocurrency space.”

For BitPay, the addition of PYUSD to its roster of supported cryptocurrencies is a strategic move to promote wider adoption.

Stephen Pair, CEO of BitPay, said: “When adding a new cryptocurrency for merchants to accept, we look at many factors, but among the most important is its payment utility and community involvement. Supporting PYUSD encourages mass adoption of cryptocurrency payments from PayPal’s enormous customer base.”

One of the standout features of this integration is the seamless experience it offers to both merchants and consumers. Merchants utilizing BitPay’s services do not need to make any changes or adjustments to their systems to begin accepting PYUSD payments. This frictionless transition ensures a hassle-free experience for businesses while expanding their potential customer base to cryptocurrency users.

Customers, on the other hand, have the flexibility to make PYUSD payments using various digital wallets, including their BitPay Wallet, PayPal Wallet, Metamask, or any compatible Ethereum wallet. This accessibility ensures that consumers can embrace PYUSD payments without any barriers.

The introduction of PYUSD via BitPay underscores the ongoing evolution of digital currencies and their increasing integration into everyday commerce. As more businesses follow in Xsolla’s footsteps and embrace stablecoins like PYUSD, the cryptocurrency ecosystem takes another step towards mainstream acceptance. This move by BitPay may serve as a catalyst for the wider adoption of cryptocurrencies in the e-commerce industry, with potential implications for the broader financial landscape in the future.
