PayPal’s Crypto Revolution: U.S. Merchants Slash Cross-Border Fees with Digital Asset Payments
PayPal just flipped the script on traditional finance—again. The payments giant is rolling out crypto payments for U.S. merchants, targeting one of the industry's juiciest profit centers: cross-border fees.
Why it matters: No more 3% FX haircuts or waiting 3 business days. Settle in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins—and watch legacy rails sweat.
The fine print: While PayPal's move smells like disruption, remember this is the same company that made its name on eBay escrow. Some revolutions come with a 2.9% + $0.30 convenience fee.
Bottom line: Crypto adoption isn't coming—it's cashing in. Traditional finance, meet your new middleman (who suspiciously looks like the old middleman).
