PayPal, in partnership with M0 and MoonPay, launched PYUSDx, a platform that allows businesses and developers to create their own branded stablecoins backed by PayPal's PYUSD. Three initial partners—Saturn, Concrete, and Cap—went live with the platform, collectively bringing over $100 million in processed volume.
PayPal is advancing its cryptocurrency initiatives by expanding its PYUSD stablecoin, implementing agentic AI payment systems, and adding biometric authentication, even as it absorbed an $81 million crypto-related loss while exceeding revenue expectations.
Meta Platforms has named Assaf Keren, a veteran cybersecurity executive from Qualtrics and PayPal, as its new Chief Information Security Officer. The appointment fills the vacancy created when Guy Rosen, Meta's first CISO who served since June 2022, departed in June 2026 after nearly 13 years with the company.
Polymarket's chief marketing officer Matthew Modabber reportedly used his personal PayPal account to send at least $350,000 to content creators including Nick Shirley and Riley Gaines who promoted the prediction market platform without disclosing the payments. The allegations emerge as the company faces separate regulatory scrutiny and cuts ties with George Santos.
