PayPal announced the integration of its USD-backed stablecoin PYUSD onto the Stellar blockchain, allowing seamless use in escrows powered by Trustless Work. This eliminates the need for bridges or hacks, providing native programmable trust with a globally recognized stablecoin. Key unlocks include PYUSD milestone escrows for gig platforms and marketplaces, cross-border trust with PayPal on/off ramps, PayFi working capital flows, and global USD access in PayPal-dominant regions like Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
