PayPal, the popular payment platform, has been served a subpoena by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its stablecoin called PayPal USD (PYUSD). The SEC’s Enforcement division sent the subpoena to PayPal, according to a report by Reuters. This development comes three months after PayPal launched its PYUSD stablecoin, which is backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term Treasurys, and similar cash equivalents. The stablecoin operates on the Ethereum blockchain and is designed for digital payments and Web3 applications. Both PayPal and Paxos, the issuer of the stablecoin, have not yet commented on the matter. This is an ongoing story, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
