🚀 Breaking: PYUSD Comes to Stellar. That Means PYUSD Escrows are coming.
PayPal just announced it's bringing PYUSD, its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, to the Stellar network — and we couldn’t be more excited.
Why? Because it means any escrow launched with Trustless Work can now use PYUSD as the payment asset. No bridges, no hacks. Just native, programmable trust in one of the world’s most recognized stablecoins.
🧠 If it lives on Stellar, you can escrow it with Trustless Work.
PYUSD included.
💥 What This Unlocks
With this move, PayPal is turning Stellar into a high-speed rail for real-world financial activity — and Trustless Work is ready to ride.
Here’s what’s possible for builders, platforms, and ecosystems:
- PYUSD milestone escrows for gig platforms, marketplaces, or grant flows
- Cross-border trust with PayPal on/off ramps and smart logic in the middle
- PayFi and working capital flows that are transparent, rules-based, and programmable
- Global access to USD-backed escrows, even in places where PayPal wallets dominate
This is a new default flow:
→ Funds enter via PayPal
→ Held in escrow on Stellar
→ Released with logic, not trust
🙌 Kudos to the Builders
Congrats to the teams at PayPal, Paxos, and Stellar Development Foundation for making this happen. Bringing a fiat-backed, regulated stablecoin like PYUSD onto Stellar is a game-changer — especially for developers building in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where PayPal is a household name.
