After receiving new approval, PayPal users will be able to transfer cryptocurrency between external wallets and exchanges 2022
The company release stated that the enhancement was brought about on the back of popular demand ever since the platform offered the four crypto assets in October 2020.
Senior vice president and general manager of the companies’ blockchain, crypto, and digital currencies vertical, Jose Fernandez da Ponte, said: “This is really about access and utility. We are greatly enhancing the utility of moving crypto around.”
Users will be able to transfer supported coins not just into PayPal and other external wallets and exchanges, but also to family and friends, thanks to the expanded usefulness. Fernandez da Ponte also makes a point about, “Customers who transfer their crypto into PayPal can extend the utility of their crypto by spending using our Checkout with Crypto product at millions of merchants.”
According to the corporation, the service is currently available to a limited number of US consumers and will be rolled out to all qualified US clients in the following weeks.
The news comes on the heels of companies’ announcement that the New York Department of Financial Services has awarded it a BitLicense. A BitLicense enables a business to engage in Virtual Currency Business Activities.
It is also the first corporation to convert a conditional Bitlicense into a full Bitlicense, according to the company.
PayPal’s developments and expansions
PayPal confirmed in its quarterly results in November 2021 that it aims to expand its cryptocurrency operations.
The business has previously stated that it intended to add cashback for cryptocurrency purchases, as well as the option for Venmo credit card users to acquire cryptocurrency using cashback from card purchasers. They also hinted earlier this year that it would develop its own stablecoin. Meanwhile, PayPal continued to update its restrictions regarding NFT initiatives that have gained a lot of popularity with customers.
According to experts, the new services have the potential to add millions of new users while also increasing the amount of time people spend on the app.
The sluggish crypto market, on the other hand, isn’t inhibiting PayPal’s long-term aspirations. According to Fernandez da Ponte, “We think a substantial amount of commerce and payments will happen on digital currencies in the future, and we are playing the long game,”
