PayPal-Owned Venmo Adds Bitcoin Buying and Selling

PayPal has expanded crypto trading to its Venmo payments app in a fresh indication of the payment giant’s cryptocurrency ambitions.

  • Customers of the payments app will be able to buy, sell and trade as little as $1 worth of crypto on Venmo, which has more than 70 million customers.

  • As on PayPal itself, trading is limited to bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and bitcoin cash.

  • Rollout commences today and will be available for all customers within the next few weeks, the announcement Tuesday said.

  • This is being offered in partnership with Paxos, which was tapped by PayPal as a liquidity provider.

  • PayPal opened trading on select cryptocurrencies to U.S. customers in November and began allowing users to pay with crypto in March.
