Paypal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, has been operational for 38 days, and Paxos, the token’s issuer, has released a transparency report regarding its reserves.

Similar to other leading stablecoins, PYUSD relies on cash reserves and U.S. Treasury reverse repurchase agreements for support. As of August 31, 2023, PYUSD has full backing of $45.36 million, with $43.86 million secured by Treasury notes and $1.5 million supported by cash reserves.
