PayPal and Coinbase have joined forces to spearhead stablecoin adoption, making PayPal USD (PYUSD) instantly tradable with zero fees on Coinbase. The move blends PayPal’s massive payments network with Coinbase’s crypto-native liquidity, positioning PYUSD as a serious contender in the stablecoin race.
