Flora noted an accelerating trend fueled by recent developments, including PayPal’s issuance of its own stablecoin, <a href="https://crypto.news/paypal-ventures-into-stablecoins-with-launch-of-pyusd/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PYUSD</a>, adding that major banks “have started offering custody services and making noise about issuing their own.” 
Despite clarifying that applicants are not required to focus exclusively on stablecoin-related projects, Y Combinator emphasized the promising prospects associated with such initiatives. Projects aligned with stablecoin-related ideas are deemed particularly encouraging, according to YC’s category description. 
In line with its commitment to fostering innovation, Y Combinator said it aims to support pioneering teams developing both business-to-business (B2B) and consumer products leveraging stablecoins. Additionally, the accelerator is keen on backing initiatives focused on developing tools, platforms, and protocols that contribute to the advancement of stablecoin finance.
