Benefits of PaypalCoin
Currently, PayPal depends heavily on existing payment rails by connecting a PayPal wallet to bank accounts and credit or debit cards. The average transaction fee to PayPal is 0.81$ of the transaction value. However, using credit and debit cards costs the company more than them or a to use the PayPal balance.
Therefore, if PayPal has its own stablecoin, the fees should decrease and end up being similar to those of a PayPal balance.
It’s important to say that most centralized businesses do not upload every transaction on the blockchain. Nevertheless, with a stablecoin, PayPal will receive money faster than with debit or credit cards.
