PayPal's head of blockchain, José Fernández, recently criticized Ethereum as a suboptimal solution for payment systems, leading the company to adopt Solana for its PYUSD stablecoin.

In a statement, Fernández highlighted Solana's advantages, including its ability to process up to 1,000 transactions per second at significantly lower costs compared to Ethereum. This efficiency is crucial for mainstream adoption of digital payments.
