PayPal's Xoom to be Ripple's "biggest competitor"
This week European markets have welcomed what is being labelled as a potential “Ripple Killer". Even though Ripple seemed to dominate the future of the remittance market, there are many competitors such as Xoom giving them a proper battle.
Payment giant, PayPal, is now expanding its mobile payment app called Xoom across 32 countries around the EU. European users are now able to send money to over 130 different markets, as well as receive funds from other Xoom users around the globe.
Regarding the announcement, the Chief Executive of Paypal, D. Schulman commented:
“We know how important these money transfers are in the lives of millions of people, and how crucial it is that money arrives swiftly so it can be used for things that matter. With Xoom, someone with a smartphone on a bus in London, Paris or Berlin can send money that can be accessed quickly in Mumbai, Lagos or Nairobi to pay for a family member's medical emergency or urgent financial needs.”
Xoom promises to be Ripple’s biggest competitor, as the app includes attractive features such as fast speed and cost-effective transactions. The launching came along with the announcement of several partnerships with banks and financial intermediates in the region, which allow Xoom users to send up to £8,000 per transaction.
If you are wondering what the differences between Paypal and Xoom and the truth is that Xoom’s fees are not even close to the fees requested by PayPal for each transaction. If you are using PayPal and you want to send money to the EU, a single transaction may cost you around $9, while with Xoom it may cost you between $3 and $4. Also, Xoom cannot be used to send funds to individuals living in America.
Some of the countries where Xoom is going to be available are Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Poland, China, UK and Belgium.

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.
