Thus, the adoption of stablecoins in these cases offers faster settlement and is increasingly favored by businesses.<\/p>\n<p>PayPal <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.paypal-corp.com\/2024-09-25-PayPal-Enables-Business-Accounts-to-Buy,-Hold-and-Sell-Cryptocurrency\">introduced<\/a> services on Sept. 25 that allow US merchants to buy, hold, and sell crypto via their business accounts.<\/p>\n<p>An Ernst & Young <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ey.com\/en_us\/insights\/financial-services\/how-investors-make-digital-assets-part-of-their-lives\">survey<\/a> published in July highlighted that PYUSD is the most used stablecoin for payments, with 47% of respondents using the PayPal dollar-pegged token in their payments. The survey included accredited and non-accredited investors.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the payments infrastructure BVNK started swapping US dollars sent to its platform through Swift for stablecoins, including PYUSD, and then sending the funds to clients around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>The vice president of crypto-related business at PayPal also addressed concerns in the industry following the collapse of FTX. He explained that the partnership with such traditional giants is to demonstrate the stability and utility of PYUSD for business transactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PayPal completed its first business payment\u00a0on Sept. 23, using its stablecoin\u00a0PYUSD to settle an invoice with Ernst &#038; Young LLP, Bloomberg News reported on Oct. 3.
