<p>In comparison, <strong>PYUSD tokens based on Ethereum</strong>, launched <strong>in August 2023</strong>, have a circulating supply of <strong>329 million dollars</strong>, reports <a href="https://defillama.com/stablecoin/paypal-usd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DefiLlama</a>.</p>
<p>This distribution shows that <strong>56.6% of the total supply is on Ethereum, while 43.4% is on Solana</strong>.</p>
<p>The integration of the PYUSD crypto into decentralized exchanges based on Solana has played a crucial role in this <strong>rapid adoption</strong>. By making the stablecoin <strong>more accessible</strong>, PayPal has facilitated its adoption, particularly thanks to its recent launch on the GCash mobile payments service in the Philippines via the Solana network.</p>

<p>Despite initial skepticism, PYUSD has shown <strong>remarkable performance</strong>. Analysts from Bank of America had predicted slow adoption, but the results have contradicted these forecasts. B</p>
<p>Although PYUSD and other Solana-based stablecoins represent a small part of the stablecoin market, with <strong>Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) dominating with respective market capitalizations of 114.4 billion and 33.7 billion dollars</strong>, PYUSD’s growth is undeniable.</p>
<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission’s obstacles against PYUSD have had impacts? Apparently not. But, with a constantly evolving market, similar statistics are enough to reassure crypto investors.</p>
