Promote with Leviathan News$2.74B of PYUSD is already live across 17 chains, with ~$687M on Solana and ~$219M on Arbitrum, so PayPal’s crypto footprint isn’t disappearing with the venture desk. The move turns crypto from an option-book strategy into P&L discipline: keep PYUSD, checkout rails and float economics, sell minority stakes like Anchorage if they don’t support the commerce stack. Cleaner for a take-private story, worse for the long-duration custody and infra bets that made PayPal more than another stablecoin wrapper.
