Merchants will pay a promotional fee of 0.99 percent per bitcoin and crypto transactions for the first year. After that, the fee will rise to 1.5 percent. Both rates are lower than the 2024 US average credit card processing fee of 1.57 percent, according to the Nilson Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusinesses of all sizes face incredible pressure when growing globally, from increased costs for accepting international payments to complex integrations,\u201d said the president and CEO of PayPal Alex Chriss. \u201cToday, we\u2019re removing these barriers and helping every business of every size achieve their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers can connect their existing bitcoin and crypto wallets at checkout. PayPal will convert the cryptocurrency into its stablecoin PYUSD through an exchange like Coinbase or Uniswap. The PYUSD is then converted into US dollars and sent to the merchant.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week, we launched PayPal World, our global partnership bringing together five of the world\u2019s largest digital wallets on a single platform, fundamentally reimagining how money moves around the world,\u201d Chriss added. \u201cBy enabling seamless cross-border crypto payments, we\u2019re breaking long-standing barriers in global commerce.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is PayPal\u2019s latest move to expand into Bitcoin and digital assets. The company first allowed users to buy and sell Bitcoin in 2020, then added crypto features to Venmo. After scaling back during the 2022 crypto winter, PayPal is now moving forward again as crypto markets recover and the Trump administration supports digital assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese innovations don\u2019t just simplify payments\u2014they drive merchant growth, expand consumer choice, and reduce costs,\u201d Chriss continued. \u201cThis is the future of inclusive, borderless commerce, and we\u2019re proud to lead it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
