Buying · Q&A

3 QUESTIONS

How do I buy PYUSD?+

In the PayPal or Venmo app (KYC there), on exchanges, or on a DEX with a self-custody wallet (no KYC). Minting and redeeming with Paxos needs an institutional account. The token runs on Ethereum / Solana / Arbitrum (+16).

Do I need KYC to buy PYUSD?+

Not on the secondary market: PYUSD can be bought on a DEX without identity verification. Minting it directly with the issuer does require KYC.

Can I buy PYUSD in the EU?+

Not from a regulated provider. PYUSD is not authorised under MiCA, so EU-regulated exchanges and brokers may not sell it to EU customers. Holding it is not prohibited, and you can still swap into it on a DEX from your own wallet. Issued by Paxos from the US, not by its EU entity; EU platforms such as Bitstamp removed it for MiCA.
