Insights

PayPal's new crypto payment system offers merchants 90% cost savings and access to $3T market, significantly advancing their competitive position.

PayPal's new Pay with Crypto service represents a strategic expansion of the company's payment infrastructure, addressing a critical pain point in cross-border commerce. By enabling merchants to accept 100+ cryptocurrencies while offering conversion to stablecoin or fiat, PayPal is positioning itself as a bridge between traditional and digital financial ecosystems.

The economics are compelling: a 0.99% transaction rate compared to traditional international payment processing fees translates to cost savings of up to 90% for merchants. This dramatic reduction in transaction costs could significantly improve merchant margins, particularly for small businesses operating internationally where fees have traditionally been prohibitive.

PayPal is targeting a massive market opportunity by connecting merchants to the $3+ trillion cryptocurrency market and 650 million global crypto users. The integration with popular wallets like Coinbase and MetaMask eliminates technical barriers that have historically prevented mainstream merchant adoption of cryptocurrency payments.

The service also offers a compelling yield component: merchants can earn 4% on PYUSD balances held with PayPal. This creates a potential triple benefit for merchants: lower transaction costs, faster settlement, and yield generation on idle balances � effectively turning PayPal into both a payment processor and a yield-bearing treasury management solution.

This launch complements PayPal's recently announced PayPal World initiative, which integrates five major global digital wallets. Together, these moves position PayPal to disrupt traditional cross-border payment infrastructure by creating an inclusive, borderless commerce ecosystem that reduces friction and costs while expanding payment options for consumers globally.

Pay with Crypto powers near-instant settlement, seamless international transactions and
provides transaction fee savings of up to 90%

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Businesses around the world lose billions annually in cross border fees while navigating a complex banking system to make and accept payments. Today, PayPal is simplifying cross-border commerce for merchants by connecting an unmatched combination of cryptocurrencies, digital wallets, and merchants worldwide, while simultaneously reducing transaction fees by up to 90%.1

Pay with Crypto, powered by PayPal, connects merchants to a $3+ trillion2 market, by enabling instant crypto to stablecoin or fiat conversion. Supporting transactions across 100+ cryptocurrencies and wallets such as Coinbase and MetaMask, the solution expands merchant revenue opportunities and taps into a global base of more than 650 million crypto users3. Additionally, with a transaction rate of 0.99%4, Pay with Crypto decreases the cost of transactions by up to 90% when compared to international credit card processing.

"Businesses of all sizes face incredible pressure when growing globally, from increased costs for accepting international payments to complex integrations. Today, we're removing these barriers and helping every business of every size achieve their goals," said Alex Chriss, President and CEO, PayPal. "Imagine a shopper in Guatemala buying a special gift from a merchant in Oklahoma City. Using PayPal's open platform, the business can accept crypto for payments, increase their profit margins, pay lower transaction fees, get near instant access to proceeds, and grow funds stored as PYUSD at 4%5 when held on PayPal."

Pay with Crypto advances PayPal's mission to transform commerce by integrating crypto and digital currencies into a unified platform that connects fiat and digital payments. It offers consumers diverse payment options and unlocks global growth for merchants. PayPal empowers U.S. merchants to accept crypto payments, improve efficiency, attract customers, earn rewards for PYUSD held with PayPal, and send faster, low-cost payments to freelancers and vendors using PYUSD. Recently the company also announced an agreement with Fiserv to expand stablecoin use globally to drive greater business efficiency.

"Last week, we launched ,our global partnership bringing together five of the world's largest digital wallets on a single platform, fundamentally reimagining how money moves around the world. By enabling seamless cross-border crypto payments, we're breaking long-standing barriers in global commerce," Chriss added. "These innovations don't just simplify payments—they drive merchant growth, expand consumer choice, and reduce costs. This is the future of inclusive, borderless commerce, and we're proud to lead it."

Pay with Crypto, powered by PayPal, will be available to U.S. merchants in the coming weeks. Covering 90% of the $3+ trillion Crypto Market Cap, Pay with Crypto offers the ability to pay with 100 cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, USDT, XRP, BNB, Solana, USDC and many others and connect wallets including Coinbase, OKX, Binance, Kraken, Phantom, MetaMask, and Exodus with more to come.
