PayPal Opens 100+ Crypto Payment Options for US Merchants, But PYUSD Hits Regulatory Snag
Main Idea
PayPal introduces 'Pay With Crypto' feature to allow U.S. merchants to accept over 100 cryptocurrencies, reducing cross-border transaction fees to 0.99%, though these transactions are not insured by the FDIC or SIPC.
Key Points
1. PayPal's 'Pay With Crypto' feature enables U.S. merchants to accept over 100 cryptocurrencies at checkout, with payments converted to USD or PYUSD instantly.
2. Transaction fees start at 0.99% for the first year, increasing to 1.5% thereafter, aimed at reducing cross-border costs.
3. Supported cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, XRP, Solana, and even memecoins like TRUMP and FARTCOIN.
4. PYUSD and other digital assets used in transactions are not insured by the FDIC or SIPC, lacking federal protection for users.
5. The GENIUS Act has influenced the shift in stablecoin usage towards payments rather than earning interest.
