How PayPal Is Expanding Into Digital Currencies With Crypto Payments

Written by The Charm Team | Aug 22, 2025 9:43:34 PM
PayPal has officially launched Pay With Crypto, a major step toward integrating digital currencies into everyday commerce. Here's what you need to know:
 
  • PayPal customers can now pay using over 100 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, at millions of merchants globally. The system converts crypto to local currency instantly at checkout.

  • PayPal targets cross-border transactions, reducing fees by up to 90%, particularly benefiting small businesses facing high international payment costs.

  • Sellers receive local currency like any other payment method. This shields them from crypto price volatility and simplifies backend processing.

  • This launch follows PayPal’s recent partnership with Coinbase, which offers crypto rewards for using PYUSD (PayPal's stablecoin), and new incentives in its app to manage digital assets.

  • The feature is launching first in the United States, with plans to expand to other countries, signaling PayPal’s commitment to normalizing crypto payments.
