Chart of the WeekPayPal's U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, PYUSD, surpassed a US$500 million market cap following its expansion to the Solana network in May 2024. PYUSD's total market supply has more than doubled since its launch in August 2023, reaching over 533 million tokens as of 9 July 2024. In the past month alone, PYUSD's supply has increased by 84%, rising from 272 million to around 500 million tokens. This growth has been driven by PYUSD's integration with the Solana blockchain, where it now accounts for 25.2% of the total supply ($134.5 million). The remaining 399 million PYUSD tokens are on the Ethereum network. PYUSD's adoption by exchanges like Crypto.com and integration into DeFi protocols like Curve and Frax have also contributed to its rapid growth. News Highlights
