PayPal to invest in a new business dedicated to crypto and digital currencies
It turns out that PayPal’s decision in October last year to allow its users to buy, sell, and hold selected cryptocurrencies on its platform was only an appetizer of what was yet to come.
The payments giant has revealed its plans to roll out a business unit focusing on cryptocurrency services.
PayPal’s cryptocurrency business
Speaking during the firm’s earnings call, CEO Daniel Shulman highlighted PayPal’s crypto ambitions.
“We are significantly investing in our new crypto, blockchain, and digital currencies business unit in order to help shape this more inclusive future,” said Shulman.
Shulman added that the current financial system is old-fashioned and needs to be in line with current trends in terms of speed and cost-effectiveness.
"We all know the current financial system is antiquated, and we can envision a future where transactions are completed in seconds, not days; a future where transactions should be less expensive to complete; and a future that enables all people to be part of the digital economy, not just the affluent,” remarked Schulman.
The CEO added that the firm is excited to build on its earlier success and allow its users to use their crypto balance as a funding source when shopping at the platform’s 29 million merchants.
More to come
Schulman said they are expecting to get the ball rolling before the end of this quarter and the launch in international markets will be done “in the next several months."
He added that this is “just the beginning of an extensive roadmap around crypto, blockchain, and digital currencies.”
Schulman pointed out that the crypto integration has excited users who are now using their app more frequently than before.
“Everyone who signed up for crypto opening up their app two times as much as they did previously,” explained Schulman.
This is not our first time
PayPal announced its entry into the crypto sphere in October last year when it enabled its U.S. customers to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency directly with the firm through a partnership with Paxos.
The firm said it is ready to play its part in shaping the future of global finance.
“We are eager to work with central banks and regulators around the world to offer our support, and to meaningfully contribute to shaping the role that digital currencies will play in the future of global finance and commerce,” said Schulman at the time.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
