PayPal has launched "Pay with Crypto" for U.S. merchants, enabling acceptance of over 100 cryptocurrencies with lower cross-border transaction fees and instant conversion to USD or its stablecoin PYUSD. "Businesses of all sizes face incredible pressure when growing globally, from increased costs for accepting international payments to complex integrations," said Alex Chriss, president and chief executive of PayPal. "Today, we're removing these barriers and helping every business of every size achieve their goals. [...] By enabling seamless cross-border crypto payments, we're breaking longstanding barriers in global commerce." SiliconANGLE reports: Using the new Pay with Crypto, merchants can now accept payments in the form of numerous cryptocurrency tokens, including bitcoin, Ethereum, USD Tether and Solana. The transaction fee rate will be 0.99% for the first year, increasing to 1.5% thereafter. The company said that rate is significantly lower than international credit card fees. "Imagine a shopper in Guatemala buying a special gift from a merchant in Oklahoma City," added Chriss. "Using PayPal's open platform, the business can accept crypto for payments, increase their profit margins, pay lower transaction fees, and get near instant access to proceeds." Merchants who accept cryptocurrency tokens can instantly convert them to dollars or PYUSD, the company's stablecoin, which is a type of cryptocurrency that maintains parity with USD so that every token is always worth $1. Funds stored as PYUSD on PayPal also earn 4% annual rewards. The company said the new service will roll out for U.S. merchants in the coming weeks. [...] Pay with Crypto will initially support cryptocurrency wallets from Coinbase, OKX, Binance, Kraken, Phantom, MetaMask and Exodus, with more planned.
