REDATOR Ben Graham Posted July 29, 2025 REDATOR Report Share Posted July 29, 2025 PayPal has officially rolled out its “Pay with Crypto” feature, allowing U.S.-based merchants to accept payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies. From Bitcoin and Ethereum to stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and XRP, the platform aims to streamline international commerce with lower fees and faster settlements. Merchants can now accept crypto payments from wallets like MetaMask, Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance, with all transactions instantly converted to either U.S. dollars or PayPal’s own stablecoin, PYUSD. This means businesses no longer need to manage wallets or worry about crypto price volatility. With a competitive transaction fee of just 0.99%, PayPal is in line to be a more affordable alternative to traditional credit card processing, which often exceeds 2%. Bridging Wallets and Reducing Barriers for Merchants According to PayPal CEO Alex Chriss, this move targets a $3 trillion crypto market and more than 650 million global crypto users. “We’re removing barriers for global growth,” Chriss said, emphasizing the feature’s ability to connect merchants with buyers worldwide. The system provides near-instant fund access and offers merchants up to 4% in annual rewards when they hold PYUSD balances within the platform. This built-in incentive adds an investment dimension to the tool, enhancing business profitability. The launch also aligns with the expansion of PayPal World, a global partnership unifying the world’s top digital wallets. Crypto Momentum to Meet Real-World Utility The launch of “Pay with Crypto” marks another step in crypto’s mainstream adoption. With support for 100+ tokens and direct integration with leading wallets, PayPal is simplifying what has long been a complex and expensive process: cross-border payments. As global regulatory adopts crypto, PayPal’s initiative may serve as a blueprint for how fintech companies can drive innovation while supporting small and mid-sized enterprises in the digital economy. Whether it’s a shopper in Guatemala buying from a seller in Oklahoma or a global brand expanding reach, crypto payments via PayPal are set to reimagine global e-commerce.
