Freight is a 3 trillion dollar industry, but still operating in the stone age when it comes to payments. With $pyUSD, we're looking to give a 30% raise to all the truckers and carriers that want to use @truckcoinswap and @PayPal

PYUSD is live on @aave — expanding access to on-chain liquidity and real DeFi utility through decentralized lending and borrowing.
PYUSD, by @PayPal, crossed $400M deposited on Aave. The Aave effect.

We're famous!
A major milestone for USD1. We are now larger than PayPal’s digital dollar (PYUSD) and growing into one of the most significant digital dollar platforms in the world. This isn’t just about crypto. It’s about building the future of global money. The shift is happening. @worldlibertyfi

Not to mention we’re still offering 4% rewards while others (Coinbase) are paywalling
I hear precious little about @PayPal in the stablecoin discussion and yet they are rapidly putting together the single best product in the space. Crypto is focused on Tether, Circle, Stripe, etc. and yet here is a company just actually doing the thing!

#PYUSD is scaling fast. It's the largest USD stablecoin to get federal approval — GENIUS-ready.
Paxos has received approval to convert its NYDFS limited purpose trust charter into a national trust charter overseen by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Once complete, all US-based activity will be subject to OCC supervision. paxos.com/newsroom/occ-appro…

Also not to mention $PYUSD is bankruptcy remote. It’s plastered all over our issuers website and our PRs
Putting aside the gross misrepresentation here of the regulatory requirement to hold cash and cashlike assets (short-term US govt debt, among the safest and most liquid assets out there) as "invest[ing] the money in financial markets, often by buying bonds" -- I find it the height of irony that the NYT says that bank deposits are better than stablecoins because they share *some* (~.01%) interest with depositors, and yet any argument that, perhaps, stablecoin issuers should be permitted to pass on interest to tokenholders is taboo. Can't have it both ways here guys.
