PayPal Launches PYUSD Stablecoin with Mixed Receptions
PayPal introduced its new stablecoin, PYUSD, on the Ethereum blockchain,

crypto realm, not everyone views it positively. Critics highlight the
potential for token freezing and the stablecoin’s initial limitations as
concerns, questioning its alignment with decentralized crypto ideals.coindesk.com
