The security framework, which initially includes verifiers such as Paxos, Google Cloud, and LayerZero Labs, employs DVNs to secure transactions in a resilient and diversified security layer that protects all sizes of transfers.

The payments company is expanding its business offerings and attracting small and medium-sized businesses under the leadership of CEO Alex Chriss, who took over the company in January. Additionally, the company is working to improve the business and increase its margins, which have declined over the past few years.

PYUSD considerably lags behind dollar-pegged stablecoins Tether (USDT) and USDC. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the two leading stablecoins command market capitalizations of almost $118 billion and $35 billion, respectively.
