Distinguish an app payment from a wallet transfer.
CoinMarketCap rank #31 · 1 November 2026
How it works
PYUSD is a dollar stablecoin. A transfer to an external wallet requires a supported network and destination address. The recipient’s account name alone does not identify that destination.
Worked example
When paying an invoice, confirm whether the merchant wants a PayPal payment or an on-chain PYUSD transfer. For the latter, match the network at both ends.
What to verify
Review the transfer fee and amount the recipient will receive before submitting.
