According to PayPal’s most recent earnings statement, Venmo — which PayPal acquired in 2013 — completed a total of $245.3 billion in transactions involving fiat currency in 2022 alone. In order to launch the new transfer mechanism, PayPal has formed a strategic partnership with Paxos, a cryptocurrency company that specializes in stablecoins.

The announcement from PayPal is one of the company’s first crypto-related updates since February, when the firm reportedly halted its stablecoin project following alarming reports that Paxos — its partner in the stablecoin offering — was under investigation by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).

At a time when the cryptocurrency market as a whole is being challenged with increased scrutiny by U.S. regulators, the decision to extend the crypto service to millions of Venmo consumers starting next month comes at an interesting juncture. PayPal users were given permission to send supported tokens such as Bitcoin, ether, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin to external wallets beginning in June of the previous calendar year.
