PayPal stablecoin market cap to reach $4 billion, driven by DeFi protocols
According to ChainCatcher, citing DL News, the circulating supply of PayPal's stablecoin PYUSD has surged by 224% since September, surpassing $3.8 billion and becoming the sixth largest stablecoin.
The DeFi protocol Ethena has become the largest holder of PYUSD, holding $1.2 billion through the custodian Copper. PayPal, in cooperation with liquidity management company Sentora, provides incentives on the decentralized exchange Curve Finance and subsidizes yields for DeFi protocol users.
The Solana lending protocol Kamino currently offers nearly 6% annualized yield for lending PYUSD, with part of the yield subsidized by PayPal. Over the past three months, the scale of PYUSD on Solana has increased from $250 million to over $1 billion.
