PayPal USD Now Available on the TRON Network – Major Expansion in the Global Crypto Market with LayerZero
September 18, 2025, Geneva (Switzerland): The global digital payments and blockchain ecosystem has witnessed another major development. The TRON DAO has announced that PayPal USD (PYUSD) will now be officially available on the TRON network, through LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) Standard technology.
This integration has launched PYUSD on the TRON blockchain as the permissionless token “PYUSD0.” This step marks a new milestone in the joint efforts of PayPal, TRON, and LayerZero, whose primary objective is to make stablecoins more accessible and interoperable.
Stablecoins: The Strongest Example of Real-World Crypto Adoption
Stablecoins have now become the backbone of the crypto ecosystem – whether it’s payments, remittances, or the use cases of trading and DeFi platforms. TRON founder Justin Sun said:
“Stablecoins are the clearest example of crypto adoption. The launch of PYUSD0 on TRON will provide greater accessibility to users and institutions. This is part of our mission to bring trust, efficiency, and broader access to the digital economy.”
This step is also significant for TRON because the network has already become a global hub for stablecoin settlements, and now the inclusion of PayPal USD will further strengthen its role.
LayerZero: The Backbone of a Cross-Chain Future
LayerZero Labs Co-Founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino called the integration a signal of a global financial revolution. In his words:
“The US dollar is the foundation of finance. Stablecoins have become crypto’s killer app. With PYUSD0, PayPal USD’s reach and flexibility will expand – both on today’s networks and for tomorrow’s networks. This clearly shows that we are at the starting point of a global marketplace that operates 24/7 and breaks down borders.”
LayerZero’s Stargate Hydra model is core to this integration. The Hydra model enables seamless asset transfer from a single hub blockchain to multiple spoke blockchains. Now, through this model, PYUSD is being expanded to TRON and other blockchains – without users needing to take any extra steps.
Meaning, whether a user has PYUSD or PYUSD0, both will be equivalent and interoperable with the PayPal USD stablecoin.
TRON Network: Global Settlement Layer for Crypto Payments
The TRON blockchain is already globally recognized for its scale, adoption, and revenue generation. The numbers speak for themselves:
332 million+ user accounts are registered on TRON.
$28 billion+ total value locked (TVL) exists in the ecosystem.
An average of 9 million transactions are processed daily.
2.83 million daily active accounts make TRON a super active network.
In just the first two quarters of 2025, TRON generated ~$1 billion in protocol revenue – and that too from real-world activity.
Since its mainnet launch in 2018, TRON has recorded a cumulative transfer volume of over $21 trillion. This clearly shows that the network has become a core layer in stablecoin-based settlements and the global digital economy.
PayPal USD Expansion: Convergence of Crypto and Traditional Finance
The arrival of PYUSD0 on TRON points to a great future – where established payment systems (PayPal), cross-chain interoperability frameworks (LayerZero), and scalable blockchain networks (TRON) are coming together to create next-gen financial infrastructure.
This integration is also quite symbolic, as the expansion of a traditional digital payments giant like PayPal onto a high-performance blockchain like TRON could usher in a new era for global finance.
This means that:
Users will gain more secure, fast, and low-cost settlement options.
Institutions will gain access to borderless payment systems through stablecoins.
And the crypto ecosystem will gain a greater trust factor, as an established entity like PayPal is leading the mass adoption of stablecoins.
About TRON DAO
TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO working on a mission to decentralize the internet. Justin Sun laid the foundation for the TRON blockchain in September 2017, and its mainnet launched in May 2018.
Since then, TRON has:
Completed over 11 billion total transactions.
Achieved global recognition as a settlement layer for stablecoins.
And now, with the integration of PYUSD, TRON is proving its slogan:
“Moving Trillions, Empowering Billions.”
Final Takeaway
The expansion of PayPal USD on TRON is not just a blockchain update – it signals a global financial shift. Stablecoins like PYUSD are gradually becoming a bridge between traditional finance and crypto finance.
This collaboration of TRON, LayerZero and PayPal is creating a new world – where money is borderless, 24/7 accessible and inclusive for every user.
