PayPal Holdings Inc. completed its first business payment using its proprietary stablecoin as a way to demonstrate how digital currencies can be used to improve often-clunky commercial transactions.
PayPal paid an invoice to Ernst & Young LLP on Sept. 23 using PYUSD, the stablecoin the firm launched last year, relying on an SAP SE platform to complete the transaction. SAP’s platform, known as the digital currency hub, allows enterprises to send and receive digital payments instantly, around the clock. The invoice amount wasn’t disclosed.
