According to DeFiLlama data, PayPal's stablecoin PYUSD has seen remarkable growth in recent months, becoming one of the fastest-rising assets in the cryptocurrency ecosystem in terms of market capitalization.
PYUSD, which had a market capitalization of approximately $1.2 billion in September, has more than tripled to over $3.8 billion by December. This is one of the fastest stablecoin expansions in just a few months.
PYUSD's growth rate over the past month has exceeded 36%. This performance demonstrates both the asset's strengthening user adoption and its rapidly expanding role within PayPal's Web3 ecosystem. With this rise, PYUSD has become the sixth-largest stablecoin by total market capitalization.
Analysts attribute PYUSD's rapid growth to several factors. PayPal's large user base and global payment infrastructure are driving the stablecoin's rapid market acceptance.
Additionally, PYUSD's availability on numerous decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms is driving demand for the asset. Other factors bolstering PYUSD's position include increased institutional participation and the growing importance of diversification in the stablecoin market.
The growth of PYUSD further demonstrates the intensification of competition in the stablecoin market and the increasing assertiveness of traditional financial giants in the digital asset space. This trend is expected to accelerate further in the coming period.
