PayPal Links: New Tool for Transfers
PayPal has launched a new tool – PayPal Links, which allows users to send and request money through a unique link valid for 10 days. This feature is available in the US and will soon appear in other countries. According to the company, P2P transaction volume increased by 10% in the last quarter.
Integration of Cryptocurrencies into PayPal's Strategy
The second part of the strategy is to integrate cryptocurrencies into the new P2P transactions. Users will be able to send Bitcoin, Ethereum, and PYUSD through PayPal and Venmo, simplifying the use of digital assets. During the official announcement, Diego Scotti, General Manager of the Consumer Group, noted that the new function makes transfers simple and accessible.
