This <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/paxoslabs.com\/blog\/usdh-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">latest revision<\/a> comes with strategic enhancements, designed to strengthen Paxos\u2019 position against other contenders and to better align with the community\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">USDH bid: Paxos pushes PayPal, Venmo integration<\/h2>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/paxoslabs.com\/blog\/usdh-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">updated proposal<\/a> introduces a key partnership with PayPal, which Paxos believes will enhance the global scale and accessibility of the USDH stablecoin. This collaboration, which includes the listing of the HYPE token on PayPal and Venmo, will offer USDH support for free on\/off-ramps and $20 million in ecosystem incentives. <\/p>\n<p>Paxos claims this alliance will play a critical role in supporting USDH\u2019s adoption, leveraging PayPal\u2019s vast user base of 400 million customers and 35 million merchants globally.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the PayPal partnership, Paxos has revamped the rewards structure for the USDH stablecoin. The new incentive system ensures that Paxos only benefits when USDH scales. Under the plan, Paxos will reinvest USDH revenue into Hyperliquid\u2019s growth and Assistance Fund (AF) until USDH reaches $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only after surpassing this threshold will Paxos take a capped 5% revenue share. This approach directly aligns Paxos\u2019 success with Hyperliquid\u2019s growth, reinforcing its commitment to long-term scalability.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal noted that USDH will play a major role in global DeFi adoption, serving as the gateway stablecoin to a new era of financial products. This incentivizes both liquidity providers and enterprises to use USDH, further expanding its ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether, this framework ensures Paxos only wins if Hyperliquid wins, and USDH becomes the gateway stablecoin for global DeFi adoption,\u201d Paxos <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/paxoslabs.com\/blog\/usdh-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">stated<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global scaling, legal compliance, and liquidity infrastructure<\/h2>\n<p>Another major feature of Paxos\u2019 proposal is the focus on global scaling. According to the company, Paxos is the only issuer legally positioned to issue stablecoins globally, especially in Europe, where no other competitor has regulatory approval for such operations. This might be a major differentiator for Paxos, as it provides an immediate advantage in scaling USDH globally without the compliance hurdles faced by other competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Paxos is taking steps to enhance Hyperliquid\u2019s liquidity infrastructure by working with fintech enterprises and brokerages to integrate builder codes, which will enable the seamless onboarding of new users and facilitate custom perpetual market pairs for USDH and other assets.<\/p>\n<p>Paxos is not alone in the race to house USDH. Competitors such as Frax Finance, Agora, Rain, LayerZero, Sky, and Ethena Labs are all vying for the position, with each offering varying incentives and backing from key industry players. Frax Finance, for instance, has proposed backing USDH with its frxUSD, supported by BlackRock\u2019s BUIDL Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Ethena Labs floated a fully-backed USDH with a commitment to return 95% of net revenue to Hyperliquid. As validators prepare to vote on the winner starting September 14, the race for USDH issuance remains one of the most highly anticipated developments in the DeFi space. With this fierce competition, the Hyperliquid community might have a tough time deciding which proposal will best serve the long-term goals of USDH adoption and ecosystem at large.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paxos has made changes to its previous proposal in the ongoing bid for Hyperliquid\u2019s USDH stablecoin.
