Coinbase is removing fees for purchases of PayPal's dollar-backed stablecoin Coinbase and PayPal will collaborate on “stablecoin based solutions” for payments and commerce as well as potential use cases for PYUSD in decentralized finance.

Coinbase, the largest publicly traded cryptocurrency exchange, is waiving fees on transactions connected to PayPal's stablecoin and allowing its users to redeem the token directly for U.S. dollars, a major milestone for PayPal as the company doubles down on crypto payments.

PayPal Holdings Inc. plans to offer rewards to its users on their holdings of its stablecoin, in a bid to encourage more usage of the digital token in an increasingly competitive market.
