Alliances Favoring Crypto Transactions Emerging
The PayPal USD stablecoin was launched six months ago when the United States payment giant was enhancing its crypto push. Even though it is believed that the stablecoin will revolutionize the payment landscape, U.S. lawmakers are concerned about the launch of PYUSD especially, in the absence of a crypto regulatory framework.
However, this has kept the stablecoin from hitting new milestones and bagging significant partnerships. On the other hand, Chainlink is doing so much to enhance crypto payments. As part of its CCIP protocol which was introduced last year, Chainlink collaborated with USDC issuer Circle.
The collaboration pushed for the integration of Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) into its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
