“These changes will enable our customers to have more choice and flexibility in purchasing cryptocurrency on our platform,” Jose Fernandez da Ponte, PayPal’s vice president and of blockchain, crypto, and digital currencies, said in a statement Thursday.
PayPal first started letting users bought cryptocurrencies in October 2020. It later added the capability to purchase bitcoin, ether, litecoin, and bitcoin cash on its mobile payment app, Venmo.
The product has a $1 spending requirement and lets users share crypto purchases with friends through Venmo’s social feed.
At the time, the move was seen as a significant step to bringing digital assets to mainstream buyers and fueled bitcoin’s rally earlier this year.
The world’s first and largest cryptocurrency has lost roughly half its value since the all-time high above $60,000 in April. Bitcoin was trading near $31,000 on Thursday afternoon, while PayPal shares closed above 1.4% lower.
