PayPal’s crypto services go global
Paypal is launching a new service to allow UK customers to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrencies
UK customers can buy, hold and sell cryptocurrencies using their PayPal wallet or app. The service will include crypto coins such as Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ether.
The move marks the first international expansion of crypto services beyond the US.
Paypal is one of the largest mainstream financial platforms to offer access to crypto, with over 403 million active accounts worldwide.
The company launched the service to buy and sell crypto in the US earlier this year
Jose Fernandez da Ponte, vice president and general manager for blockchain, crypto and digital currencies at PayPal says this signals a changing environment.
“We are committed to continue working closely with regulators in the UK, and around the world, to offer our support— and meaningfully contribute to shaping the role digital currencies will play in the future of global finance and commerce,” he said.
Customers will be able to buy bitcoin, ether, litecoin and bitcoin cash through their PayPal wallets online or on the mobile app.

S&P 500 hits all-time high amid Fed scrutiny; Trump’s credit card cap proposal raises investor concerns over bank profits.
The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high, with the Nasdaq climbing 0.5% while the Dow Jones held steady. This comes amid news of a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Despite the scrutiny, analysts believe short-term interest rates and inflation are unlikely to be impacted.
Meanwhile, Trump’s proposal to cap credit card rates at 10% for a year sparked concern among investors about potential effects on lending and bank profitability. Major bank stocks reacted sharply, with Citigroup down 3% and Capital One falling 6%.
In commodities, gold futures rose 2%, reflecting fears that political pressure on the Fed could challenge its ability to manage inflation effectively.
