Coinbase is eliminating fees for purchases of PayPal's stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD), to boost its adoption and usage among consumers and institutions. The collaboration aims to create stablecoin-based solutions for global money management, as competition in the stablecoin market intensifies with legislative developments and new product launches from companies like Circle and Ripple.
PayPal and Coinbase have teamed up to eliminate trading fees for the stablecoin PayPal USD (PYUSD) on the Coinbase platform, aiming to enhance its adoption. Users can now trade PYUSD without fees and redeem it directly for USD, while PayPal plans to offer a 3.7% yield for PYUSD holders starting in 2025.
