Fintech payments giant PayPal PayPal is enabling crypto support for millions of merchant accounts!

What’s the Scoop?

  • Crypto Corporations: PayPal announced Wednesday that it is extending crypto custody, swapping, and transfer functionalities – previously restricted to consumer accounts – to U.S. business accounts in every state except New York and Hawaii.
  • Latest Crypto Push: This latest news from PayPal comes amid continued embrace of its PYUSD stablecoin, which has quickly grown to become the 6th largest stablecoin by market cap with nearly $750 million in circulating supply.

Bankless Take:

Seamless crypto support through a widely adopted fintech payments platform undeniably increases the accessibility of digital assets, but only time will tell if this latest development can finally catalyze mainstream acceptance for blockchain-based payments among corporations.
