PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL, ETR:2PP) is diving deeper into the cryptocurrency space with the launch of Pay with Crypto, a groundbreaking new service that enables U.S.-based merchants to accept payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies. This move marks a major step forward in the company’s strategy to modernize digital commerce and make cross-border transactions faster and cheaper through PayPal crypto payments.

A Game-Changer for Cross-Border Payments

Rolling out in the coming weeks, Pay with Crypto supports a wide range of digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and Solana (SOL). The service charges a flat 0.99% transaction fee—substantially lower than traditional international payment methods, which can run as high as 5% or more.

Merchants using PayPal’s new crypto payment solution will receive instant conversions of the digital assets into either fiat currencies or stablecoins, providing them with real-time settlement and protection from crypto price volatility. By cutting international payment fees by up to 90%, PayPal aims to attract businesses seeking to lower costs and streamline global commerce.

Broad Integration Through Major Wallets

To ensure wide accessibility, PayPal’s service integrates with major crypto wallets, including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Binance Wallet. This broad compatibility makes PayPal crypto payments easier to adopt for merchants and consumers already operating within the crypto ecosystem.

This development aligns with a growing trend among fintech giants that are embracing decentralized finance and blockchain as key components of their future offerings. By becoming crypto-compatible, PayPal is positioning itself at the intersection of digital finance and traditional e-commerce.

Why PayPal Is Making This Move Now

The company estimates that over 650 million people worldwide currently hold cryptocurrency—a number that continues to grow. The global crypto market is valued at approximately $3 trillion, and PayPal sees enormous potential in enabling more seamless and affordable transactions using these assets.

The launch of Pay with Crypto follows the recent debut of PayPal World, a new platform integrating five leading digital wallets to simplify international money transfers. These back-to-back announcements make it clear that PayPal is going all-in on digital asset integration, and PayPal crypto payments are set to become a key pillar of the company’s global strategy.

Implications for PYPL Stock

For investors, this move may signal a turning point in PayPal’s growth narrative. After facing stiff competition from Block Inc. (NYSE:SQ), Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), and other fintech players, PayPal is reasserting itself as a pioneer in financial innovation.

Although PYPL stock has struggled in recent months, the company’s aggressive push into crypto could reignite investor interest. Analysts will be watching closely to see how quickly the new service gains traction among merchants and what kind of transaction volumes it generates.

By offering a unique value proposition—low fees, fast settlement, and broad crypto support—PayPal is attempting to carve out a niche that bridges the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.

The Future of PayPal Crypto Payments

With PayPal crypto payments, the company isn’t just facilitating purchases—it’s helping legitimize cryptocurrency as a mainstream payment method. If successful, this rollout could inspire a wave of adoption among both small businesses and large enterprises seeking to reduce costs and tap into global markets.

In the long term, this move could also pave the way for PayPal to introduce new services such as crypto lending, digital ID verification, and DeFi-style savings tools. For now, though, all eyes are on how well U.S. merchants respond to the company’s latest offering.

As the lines between fiat and digital currencies continue to blur, PayPal crypto payments may well be a critical part of the future of commerce—and a new growth engine for the fintech giant.

NEW YORK, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amid increasingly clear global regulatory frameworks for stablecoins, the asset class is moving beyond its experimental phase and entering a period of institutionalized growth. Mega Matrix Corp. (NYSE American: MPU) recently announced the completion of a $16 million private placement and officially launched its strategic expansion into the stablecoin sector. This marks a critical step in the Company’s transformation into a structured participant in the evolving global digital financial infrastructure.

The private placement attracted a number of crypto-focused funds and industry professionals, reflecting strong market recognition of and confidence in Mega Matrix’s strategic direction. According to the Company, the proceeds will be primarily used to build a stablecoin asset allocation system and on-chain yield mechanisms, with a focus on developing “corporate treasury strategies” leveraging stablecoins and governance tokens.

In fact, the corporate treasury strategy is becoming a key asset allocation method among technology and crypto companies. One group, represented by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), has adopted Bitcoin as its core reserve asset, maintaining long-term holdings and actively increasing exposure—a strategy mirrored by companies like Marathon Digital (NASDAQ: MARA). Another group is turning to Ethereum as a treasury asset, with notable examples including SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) and Bit Digital (NASDAQ: BTBT). These companies leverage Ethereum‘s composability and ecosystem synergies to construct new liquidity infrastructure.

Compared with other digital assets, stablecoins offer low volatility, on-chain yield potential, and stronger regulatory compatibility—making them rapidly emerge as the next generation of “treasury assets.” Their global liquidity and auditability make them well-suited for diverse capital management scenarios and increasingly attractive to institutional participants.

“Stablecoins are emerging as the foundational anchor of the digital financial system,” said Songtao Jia, Chief Strategy Officer of Mega Matrix. “We anticipate that the next wave of growth in digital assets will be driven by treasury strategies centered on stablecoins. In today’s interest rate environment, stablecoins capable of generating reliable on-chain yields represent an extremely scarce and valuable class of assets.”

Mega Matrix has already initiated allocation into mainstream stablecoins and governance tokens, and is in active discussions with several globally leading stablecoin issuers. The collaboration is expected to cover areas such as asset allocation and integration of on-chain yield mechanisms.

From Bitcoin as “digital gold,” to Ethereum as the “smart asset protocol,” stablecoins are now becoming the new cornerstone of enterprise digital asset allocation. Mega Matrix’s transformation may signal the beginning of a broader institutional embrace of yield-generating, transparent, and composable on-chain financial tools.

DUBAI, UAE, July 25, 2025 /CNW/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced a strategic partnership with Tether, the leading company in the digital asset industry and issuer of USD?, the most widely used stablecoin. The collaboration aims to boost cryptocurrency adoption across Brazil through institutional partnerships, major event sponsorships, and expansive educational initiatives.

A highlight of the partnership is the co-sponsorship of Blockchain Rio, one of Latin America’s most influential blockchain conferences. During the event, new users who register on Bybit’s platform will receive an exclusive USD? bonus. This incentive is designed to encourage first-time users to engage with the digital asset ecosystem.

To extend the partnership’s reach into real-world applications, Bybit and Tether are in advanced discussions with Visit Rio. The goal is to integrate cryptocurrency into the city’s tourism sector by offering discounts and USD? bonuses to tourists who use digital assets for services, tours, and purchases from local businesses. This initiative is intended to position Rio as a forward-thinking, crypto-friendly destination.

As part of its long-term strategy, Bybit will roll out a national educational program to increase crypto literacy and drive responsible adoption. The initiative includes a series of “Learn to Earn” campaigns that reward users for completing blockchain-focused courses. These will be complemented by in-person events such as workshops, university meetups, and seminars, engaging directly with students, developers, and entrepreneurs.

Earlier this year, Bybit appointed Israel Buzaym as its Country Manager for Brazil. Since then, the company has significantly expanded its local presence and launched tailored offerings such as Bybit Pay and the Bybit Card. These products are helping to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the world of digital assets.

“I’m honored to lead Bybit’s efforts in Brazil at such a transformative time,” said Israel Buzaym. “Brazilians have a long history of embracing innovation. We’re already seeing strong momentum in the adoption of our services. This partnership with Tether adds the trust, liquidity, and strategic focus needed to make crypto a natural part of everyday life for millions.”

With a market capitalization exceeding $114 billion, Tether plays a central role in the global digital economy. This partnership with Bybit reflects a shared commitment to financial innovation, education, and the creation of practical use cases for cryptocurrency in one of the world’s most promising emerging markets.

DUBAI, UAE, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is reporting significant progress in its strategic partnership with EthicHub, a project supported by Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), focused on improving financial inclusion and market access for small holder coffee farmers.

During ETHCC week in Paris, Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit met with EthicHub co-founders Jori Armbruster and Gabriela Chang Valdovinos to review the impact of Bybit’s $1 million liquidity investment, announced earlier this year. The collaboration aims to empower rural communities through decentralized finance and sustainable trade opportunities.

Driving Growth Through Blockchain Solutions

Bybit’s $1 million liquidity investment is already fueling measurable results. To date, EthicHub has facilitated more than $5 million in loans across its network, maintaining a default rate below 3 percent, fully covered to protect lenders. The platform has also enabled the sale of over 300 tons of coffee, generating more than $2 million in revenue, and directly supporting more than 10.000 coffee farmers in LATAM.

So far, 40 percent of Bybit’s investment has been deployed in two high-impact projects:

• Cosechando Riqueza (Chiapas, Mexico): supported 25 families cultivating 70 hectares of high-quality coffee, promoting agroforestry in regions historically affected by violence.
• Costal Campesino (Cauca and Nariño, Colombia): helped 22 families producing “Café de Paz,” or Peace Coffee — a sustainable alternative for former guerrilla fighters transitioning from coca cultivation to coffee farming.

Coffees from these projects are expected to reach European markets starting in August, with a projected increase in sales beginning in September. Shipments of these coffees to Europe are scheduled to begin in August, with sales projected to reach approximately $1.3 million in the months ahead.

“EthicHub’s model is a powerful example of how blockchain technology can create real economic opportunities and resilience for farming communities that have long been underserved,” said Freya Chen, Executive Director at the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA). “The results we’re seeing — millions in loans, strong repayment rates, and growing coffee sales — prove that decentralized finance can deliver measurable benefits on the ground.”
