Frequently asked

Is PayPal Earn FDIC or SIPC insured?

No. PayPal Earn is a crypto earn product, not a bank deposit — the PYUSD is held and deployed by PayPal, so it is not FDIC- or SIPC-insured and the yield is variable, not guaranteed.

Where does the ~4% yield come from?

PayPal Earn deploys the deposited PYUSD to generate the rate; it is variable, not fixed.

Is PYUSD safe?

PYUSD scores A+/95 on StableLens compliance, and aligns with the GENIUS Act framework. That is a methodology classification, not a guarantee — see the PYUSD report for reserves, attestations, and peg history.

What does the B/78 StableLens score mean?

It is the Platform × Stablecoin model · v1.0: the platform's quality tier (82) multiplied by PYUSD's compliance score (95), scaled to 0–100. It rates the platform and the coin — not the underlying DeFi credit layer — and is a methodology classification, not investment advice.
