PayPal has confirmed it will expand its PYUSD stablecoin to the Arbitrum network, following updates in its platform terms. The token is already supported on Ethereum and Solana, and now moves into one of the leading Layer 2 ecosystems.
Faster and cheaper transactions
The addition of PYUSD to Arbitrum allows for lower gas fees and faster settlements, enhancing its usability in DeFi, on-chain payments, and integration with low-cost Web3 wallets. It positions the token for broader adoption across high-efficiency infrastructure.
Market reacts with optimism
After the announcement, the ARB token rose by nearly seven point seven percent, signaling investor confidence that PYUSD could drive new demand across the network. Analysts see this as a positive signal for institutional growth within the Layer 2 space.
Strategic move in the stablecoin race
With a market cap nearing eight hundred forty million dollars, PYUSD is positioning itself as a strong alternative to traditional stablecoins. Expanding to Arbitrum reflects PayPal’s goal of making the asset more scalable, interoperable, and aligned with next-generation decentralized infrastructure.
