Fintech giant PayPal announced its new “Pay with Crypto” feature today, allowing users to pay its merchants with more than 100 different cryptocurrencies, plugging into a $3 trillion-plus digital-asset market and an estimated 650 million crypto users worldwide .

The “Pay with Crypto” feature enables instant crypto-to-stablecoin or fiat conversion, with near-instant settlement for PayPal transactions through wallets such as Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, and Phantom. Additional integrations at launch include Binance, Kraken, OKX, Exodus, and Solana’s Phantom wallet, with more on the roadmap .

Users can pay with tokens such as BTC and ETH, alongside USDT, SOL, BNB, and 90+ others, or can choose to cash out their memecoin gains for traditional purchases through PayPal. The company is launching with a promotional flat fee of just 0.99% on each crypto transaction (good until July 31, 2026), compared with the 3-4% typically charged for cross-border cards.
