Transak announced the listing of PayPal USD (PYUSD), PayPal’s stablecoin, on its platform.
Transak users can now purchase PYUSD using their preferred local payment method.
This integration was a strategic move to overcome the key challenge of widespread cryptocurrency adoption: converting traditional currencies into cryptocurrencies. The introduction of PYUSD is likely to accelerate this adoption.
“One of the key challenges to expanding cryptocurrency adoption is the difficulty of converting traditional currencies into cryptocurrency assets,” said Sami Start, CEO of Transak. “By listing PYUSD, we are leveraging the familiarity and reputation of PayPal to provide traders with a trusted on-ramp to ease their transition into the world of decentralized finance.”
Transak recently partnered with Cometh to simplify cryptocurrency purchases with fiat by eliminating the middleman. This collaboration provided a direct method of protocol-level interaction.
PayPal recently announced that its PYUSD stablecoin is available and will be launched on the Solana blockchain.

Using PYUSD on the Transak platform will enable faster and broader adoption of cryptocurrencies and spark innovative new applications. Acting as a fiat-backed stablecoin, PYUSD provides stability and a trusted entry point to digital assets.
“Integrating PYUSD into Transak is a step toward meeting evolving consumer needs by providing consumers with expanded choice when it comes to their finances. Stablecoins and blockchain technology are the future of finance. This is a great opportunity to safely introduce this technology to users,” said Nick Robnett, Head of Asset Growth at Paxos.
Stablecoins are one of the developments that are bringing serious changes to the existing financial system, despite their distinct advantages and obstacles.
Paxos issues PYUSD, a stablecoin backed by US dollar deposits, US Treasury bonds and other cash equivalents. You can buy or sell PYUSD through Paypal and Venmo at a flat rate of $1 per PYUSD.
