PayPal Users Can Now Purchase Crypto with MoonPay

Leading Web3 infrastructure provider MoonPay and PayPal have established a partnership that enables MoonPay’s American customers to purchase cryptocurrencies with their PayPal accounts easily. The integration simplifies the transaction process for new MoonPay users who already have a PayPal account and utilize it for online transactions. PayPal users don’t need to enter the required information manually; instead, they can use their PayPal Balance, a debit card, or a direct bank withdrawal to fund their Bitcoin purchases.

MoonPay users also profit from PayPal’s security, as the company never divulges all of the financial details related to a transaction.

The partnership, according to MoonPay co-founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright, is “symbiotic” because PayPal’s formerly restricted selection of significant cryptocurrencies is now expanded to include the entire spectrum of well-known tokens while users of his app broaden their reach and have a new, flexible payment option.

Soto-Wright emphasized that PayPal is being integrated into MoonPay’s infrastructure rather than a standalone integration, as the finance behemoth has been experimenting with Web3 wallets like MetaMask.

Principal Advantages:

• Flexibility and options: MoonPay provides its consumers with various payment options, including PayPal.
• Variety in token support: With more than 110 tokens, MoonPay will likely have the particular coin you want.
• Smooth onboarding: If you already use PayPal, it’s easier than ever to make your first purchase with MoonPay.
• Speed and easy access: PayPal customers can be funded by MoonPay purchases without being required to create new accounts or enter payment information.

Connecting the Fiat and Crypto Worlds

After introducing a stablecoin entirely backed by the US dollar last year, PayPal made its foray into the cryptocurrency market. The establishment of the digital asset PYUSD was a major step toward bridging the gap between traditional fiat currency and the quickly developing digital asset area.

US dollar deposits, short-term US Treasury bonds, and comparable cash equivalents are the foundation for PYUSD, a digital asset created in partnership with Paxos Trust Company. This backing guarantees a 1:1 conversion rate between PYUSD units and US dollars.

PayPal users can move stablecoin between their accounts and compatible digital wallets using PYUSD. To maintain transparency, Paxos will routinely provide a report detailing the financial instruments that support PYUSD.
