This latest development is a clear indication that PayPal, which entered the crypto space last year, wants to establish a bigger footprint in the nascent industry than it already has.
PayPal is willing to pay as much as $500 million to buy the blockchain firm, according to a source who informed an industry news outlet.
“PayPal is buying Curv for $500 million,” the source said. “From where I’m hearing it, I’m pretty sure it’s true.”
The New York-based firm Curv was co-founded in 2018 by CTO Dan Yadlin and Itay Malinger, the CEO.
Curv has raised at least $30 million and secured $23 million in funding last July.
PayPal has shown interest in buying Curv after its plans to buy crypto custody firm BitGo last year fell through.
In an interview last year, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe pointed that the company holds more than $16 billion in cryptocurrency assets.
When asked about the PayPal rumors, Belshe gave a diplomatic response as he noted that the firm has been “in talks with everyone” over the years and was not going to settle for a “small exit.”
Despite the deal not going through, PayPal is determined to make a crypto acquisition amid the bull run.
“PayPal has made some great acquisitions in the past such as Venmo, and now they want to own something in crypto,” said the source.
PayPal recently partnered with Paxos, which powers the company's cryptocurrency service features. The payments company initially allowed only its U.S. customers to buy and hold cryptocurrencies, and now this feature is being expanded to UK clients.
The payments company has ventured into crypto as Wall Street titans warm up to the industry.
Within the same period, Citibank published a report in which it said bitcoin “could become the currency of choice for international trade.”
Goldman Sachs is restarting its cryptocurrency desk due to the market boom. According to analysts and enthusiasts, all these developments point to a growing market with an institutional appeal.

With over 2.4M tokens and widespread misinformation in crypto, we cut
through the noise and consistently find winning assets.
























Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
