PayPal’s PYUSD Debuts on Aptos via LayerZero and Stargate Hydra, Strengthening $1.2B Stablecoin Hub

PayPal’s US Dollar stablecoin has been extended to Aptos via LayerZero and the Stargate Hydra interface, launching on-chain as PYUSD0. The update notes Aptos as the sole Move-based chain enabled for PYUSD0, joining an existing local stablecoin market that exceeds $1.2 billion and supports USDC, USDT and USDe.

By leveraging LayerZero cross-chain infrastructure together with the Stargate bridge, PYUSD0 on Aptos preserves on-chain composability and interoperability, improving settlement efficiency and reducing friction for developer integrations in DeFi protocols and payment rails.

As a high-throughput, low-latency chain, Aptos provides technical capacity for broader distribution of PYUSD, creating an additional USD stablecoin gateway for asset management, payments and on-chain financial infrastructure within the Web3 ecosystem.
