JAKARTA PayPal is now introducing its latest innovation to accelerate digital transactions by using a PYUSD stablecoin. PayPal, through the Coinbase Prime account owned by global accounting firm Ernst & Young (EY), has successfully processed transactions using PYUSD through the SAP's Digital Currency Hub platform. This step opens up wider adoption opportunities for digital currencies, especially in the business world.

With PYUSD, PayPal is able to process payments directly from their main accounting system, making transactions faster and more efficient. This marks a new era in the use of stablecoins to support global business transactions. This success also reinforces PayPal's position as a major player in the digital payment ecosystem.

Ernst & Young (EY) is now joining a list of large companies that take advantage of Coinbase Prime services, alongside Google Cloud. According to Steven Capozza, Director of Unstitute Sales at Coinbase, more and more Fortune 500 companies are starting to become interested in crypto payments. "Many large companies are now moving quickly from the exploration stage of the full adoption concept in the use of cryptocurrencies for payments," he said in an official Coinbase blog.

With the PYUSD stablecoin, transactions can be carried out instantly around the world, in contrast to traditional payment methods that take longer for completion. PYUSD also offers additional incentives for its users, providing more benefits for companies adopting this technology.

Steve Everett, Market Development Director at PayPal, stated that business-to-business (B2B) payments are in dire need of new innovations. Invoice payment systems that rely on terms such as "net-30" often slow down cash flows. However, with digital payments using PYUSD, transactions can be made at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing funds to be used more quickly for business operational purposes.

Richard Widmann, Head of Web3 Strategy at Google Cloud, also highlighted the importance of digital payment flexibility and speed. He said, "With the capital market moving towards 24-7 availability, the need for fast and always available digital payments continues to increase."

This innovation puts PayPal and its partners at the forefront of digital transformation, opening up opportunities for companies around the world to accelerate transactions and increase their financial efficiency.
