This partnership, enabled through LayerZero and Stargate, integrates PYUSD onto Aptos’ high-speed, low-cost blockchain infrastructure.
With Aptos already handling over $70 billion in monthly stablecoin volume, the collaboration aims to expand PYUSD’s use in everyday payments and bring real-world applications closer to mainstream adoption.
Fast, Low-Cost Infrastructure for PYUSD
Aptos’ blockchain is designed for high throughput and efficiency, making it an attractive option for stablecoin projects that require reliable performance. By integrating PYUSD, PayPal gains access to a network capable of processing transactions quickly and at lower fees compared to traditional blockchains. LayerZero and Stargate facilitate interoperability, allowing PYUSD to move seamlessly between Aptos and other networks, which can improve liquidity and enhance user experience.

This integration is particularly timely as stablecoins continue to gain traction in global payments. In 2025, global stablecoin transactions reached over $2 trillion, reflecting growing demand for faster and more reliable digital currency solutions. For example, merchants accepting stablecoins like USDC and USDT have reported faster settlement times and lower transaction costs compared to traditional bank transfers. PYUSD’s entry onto Aptos adds another option for consumers and businesses seeking these benefits.
Stablecoins now present what I believe is the first credible opportunity to onboard a billion people into crypto.
