About PYUSD

PayPal USD (PYUSD) is a stablecoin issued by PayPal, tracked across 2 chains in Eagle Virtual coverage. PayPal can restrict PYUSD at the token contract, so a restricted address cannot move the token. The exact effect varies by token and network, and a restriction can later be reversed. A PYUSD address can be restricted whether or not it appears in a government sanctions source.

Compliance teams screen PYUSD wallets for two things before moving funds: government sanctions exposure and the control actions recorded by the company behind the token. Eagle Virtual returns both as source-cited facts — not a risk score.

Screening PYUSD for compliance

A government sanctions check and a PYUSD control action are separate evidence classes. PayPal can restrict a PYUSD address on-chain whether or not that address appears in a government sanctions source, so screening both classes gives the reviewer the fuller record before a PYUSD transaction.

Eagle Virtual records PayPal USD control actions on the networks listed above and returns the recorded action, the network, the source, and the freshness for each result. See crypto compliance screening and blockchain address screening, or the stablecoin blacklist database.
