In October, the company rolled out a service to allow customers to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency directly from their accounts.

The service features Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin directly within PayPal's digital wallet, and will be available to the company's U.S. accountholders in the coming weeks. Paypal also will expand the feature to Venmo and select international markets in the first half of 2021, making cryptocurrency an available funding source to the company's 26 million merchants worldwide.

Consumers will be able to instantly convert their selected cryptocurrency balance to fiat currency, with certainty of value and no incremental fees. Meanwhile, PayPal merchants will have no additional integrations or fees, as all transactions will be settled with fiat currency at their current PayPal rates.
