## Source summary
PYMNTS reports that PayPal, M0 and MoonPay launched PYUSDx, a platform for businesses to create onchain products backed by PayPal USD. M0 says it built the platform, MoonPay holds the backing PYUSD reserves and provides collateral transparency, and three projects—Saturn, Concrete and Cap—were live on September 9. M0 reports more than USD 100 million of processed volume on the platform; USD.AI and Fairblock were still planned to follow.
## Why it matters
PYUSDx turns a payment-company stablecoin into configurable infrastructure for third-party products, including controls, rewards, collateral settings, cross-chain behavior and native liquidity with PYUSD and USDC. The processed-volume figure is M0's own claim and its definition and measurement period are not disclosed. The sources provide no user count, transaction count, reserve audit specific to PYUSDx, fee or independent performance result; broader PayPal integrations are described as future work rather than live functionality.

- **Projects live at launch:** 3 (Saturn, Concrete and Cap)
- **Processed volume reported by M0:** more than USD 100 million (definition and period undisclosed)
- **Additional projects described as forthcoming:** 2 (USD.AI and Fairblock)
