PayPal’s Investments and New Opportunities for Users
The company’s venture arm, PayPal Ventures, participated in the latest funding round for Stable. This project is creating its own Layer 1 blockchain—Stablechain—specializing in stablecoins and payment operations based on them. As part of the collaboration, PayPal will integrate the digital dollar PYUSD into the Stablechain ecosystem, allowing users to conduct commercial and financial transactions on this network quickly and with minimal fees.
“Users will be able to use the dollar-pegged stablecoin PYUSD for commercial and financial operations on the Stablechain network. Payments using this asset will enable transactions to be conducted quickly and with minimal fees.”
Technological Integration and Future Plans
The implementation of PYUSD into Stablechain will be carried out through the LayerZero cross-chain protocol. This solution ensures the compatibility of PYUSD with other blockchains and enables instant transaction finalization, creating additional advantages for users and businesses.
The teams at PayPal and Stable are already working on creating joint products based on stablecoins. In the coming months, new solutions are expected to be announced that will expand payment capabilities and the use of stablecoins across various sectors.
Stable has already presented its roadmap for 2025, which includes the launch of new products and updates in the near future.
As a reminder, in August 2025, Stable raised $28 million in seed funding. The funds will be directed towards the creation of the Stablechain network, optimized for working with stablecoins and payment operations based on them.
