 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When asked about the motivation behind <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="PayPal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/paypal.html">PayPal</a>’s decision to launch a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stablecoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stablecoin.html">stablecoin</a>, Jose pointed out that the company believes that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stablecoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stablecoin.html">stablecoin</a>s are the “killer application” for blockchain at the moment.&nbsp;</span></p>  
 <div class="quads-location quads-ad124348 " id="quads-ad124348" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;">   
 </div> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">He also noted that they are very close to the payments market which is core for PayPal.&nbsp;Fernandez went on to highlight that the launch of PYUSD is an evolution of PayPal’s vision to be the “conduit between fiat and Web3.0 that can bring mainstream adoption to a system for payments.”</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">During their discussion, the PayPal Executive attested to the fact that stablecoin’s mainstream adoption may take some time, maybe years, to become a reality. Meanwhile, Democrat congresswoman Maxine Waters </span><span style="font-weight: 400">expressed</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> concern about the new PayPal stablecoin launch amidst unclear crypto regulatory framework.&nbsp;</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">“Given PayPal’s size and reach, Federal oversight and enforcement of its stablecoin operations is essential to guarantee consumer protections and alleviate financial stability concerns,” she said.</span></p> 
 <p>While starting with Ethereum, Fernadez said there is no reason why the stablecoin will not be adapted to support other chains in the future, a move that aligns with its diversity vision.</p>
