PayPal Goes Full Crypto: Over 100 Tokens Now Accepted at Checkout
PayPal just made a big move, and it’s not just virtue signaling with Bitcoin anymore. It’s swinging the door open to crypto payments, rolling out a new checkout tool that supports over 100 different digital assets, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to Solana and XRP.
Starting now, U.S.-based merchants can accept crypto payments through PayPal’s new service, which plugs directly into popular wallets like Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, OKX, Kraken, Binance, Phantom, and Exodus. The crypto paid at checkout is instantly converted into either PayPal’s own stablecoin, PYUSD, or good old-fashioned fiat.
The move was announced formally earlier today, on all channels, source: X
This is more than just a flashy new toy for PayPal’s product suite….
