<p class="is-style-lead">Ever since Paypal joined the Solana (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL</a>) ecosystem, the volume for its stablecoin has exceeded 300 million weekly trades.</p>
<p>PayPal’s <a href="https://crypto.news/paypals-stablecoin-potential-impact-and-user-reactions/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/paypals-stablecoin-potential-impact-and-user-reactions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PYUSD</a> stablecoin’s weekly transaction volumes have soared to over $500 million, a notable increase from its previous volume of $150 million. This surge follows <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/paypal/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/paypal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Paypal’s</a> PYUSD’s expansion to the Solana blockchain in May, leading to a 90% increase in its market supply, which now surpasses half a billion dollars.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://defillama.com/stablecoin/paypal-usd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFiLlama</a>, PYUSD’s total supply across Solana and Ethereum stands at approximately $534 million. A detailed breakdown reveals that 74% of this supply is on Ethereum, while the remaining 25% is on Solana.</p>

<p>On <a href="https://crypto.news/paypal-expands-pyusd-stablecoin-to-solana/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/paypal-expands-pyusd-stablecoin-to-solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">May 29</a>, the online payment giant announced that its stablecoin would launch on the Solana blockchain.</p>
<p>The company made the announcement in hopes of making PYUSD faster and cheaper to use. The move to the Solana network provides users with more blockchain options for PYUSD.</p>

<p>Over the past week, the supply of <a href="https://crypto.news/transak-to-integrate-paypals-stablecoin-on-platform/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/transak-to-integrate-paypals-stablecoin-on-platform/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PYUSD</a> on Solana has surged by 61%, while its supply on Ethereum has decreased by 7%. This growth has contributed to the overall increase in trading volume for the stablecoin, whose weekly transaction volumes have tripled and reached $500 million by the end of last month.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This surge has prompted Solana developer Paul Fidika to describe PYUSD as the “sleeper hit on Solana,” bolstering the blockchain’s position as a viable financial alternative. He also noted that this Solana integration is taking use-case value away from fintech giants like Coinbase and Circle.</p>
