September 18, 2025 – Geneva, Switzerland – TRON DAO, the community‑governed organization that powers the fastest‑growing public blockchain, has officially introduced PayPal USD to its network. By leveraging Stargate Hydra’s cross‑chain engine and LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) framework, PayPal USD is now represented on TRON as the permissionless token “PYUSD0.” This move unlocks a new, inclusive wallet for global users and corporate partners, enabling the stablecoin to connect effortlessly to the TRON ecosystem.

PayPal USD Expands to TRON Network via LayerZero

“Stablecoins are among the clearest cases where blockchain actually adds value to everyday financial flows,” says Justin Sun, founder of TRON. “By launching PYUSD0 on TRON, we’re giving both individual holders and institutional players unprecedented access to a stable, USD‑backed asset that operates on one of the world’s most efficient permissionless blockchains.”

“The U.S. dollar remains the backbone of global finance, and stablecoins are the next‑generation counterpart,” notes Bryan Pellegrino, co‑founder and CEO of LayerZero Labs. “Deploying PayPal USD through LayerZero across TRON and beyond showcases the flexibility of cross‑chain architecture and signals a new era where tokenised assets transcend siloed networks.”

LayerZero’s recent acquisition of Stargate strengthened its capability to bridge assets across blockchains. Stargate’s Hydra model, originally designed to shuttle tokens from a central hub to peripheral chains, now powers the extension of PYUSD into TRON. Thanks to the OFT standard, PYUSD and PYUSD0 are interchangeable aliases—ensuring full fungibility and seamless interoperability without any friction for end users.

TRON’s high‑throughput, low‑latency infrastructure has earned it a place as a core layer in the global digital‑finance stack. With over 332 million registered accounts, more than 2.83 million daily active users, and a TVL surpassing $28 billion, the platform has displayed the kind of scale required to attract major players like PayPal. In 2025, TRON’s protocol revenue topped $1 billion, underscoring its commercial viability and becoming a benchmark for ecosystem health.

From a strategic perspective, the partnership aligns with TRON’s mission of delivering fast, secure, and accessible settlement infrastructure. By merging PayPal’s digital‐payments expertise, LayerZero’s cross‑chain connectivity, and TRON’s scalable network, the launch offers a secure, transparent, and inclusive financial system that benefits developers, merchants, and consumers across continents.
