PayPal Adds Chainlink And Solana To Its US Cryptocurrency Service

Payment giant PayPal has announced the addition of Chainlink (LINK) and Solana (SOL) to its cryptocurrency offerings. As the payment behemoth increases its crypto footprint, PayPal and Venmo users can buy, sell, and hold LINK and SOL in their accounts. PayPal Expands Crypto Offering With SOL and LINK According to an official press release , PayPal has announced the expansion of its suite of cryptocurrencies with two new tokens. The payment giant confirmed the addition of Chainlink and Solana to its offerings, signaling increased confidence in Web 3 solutions. Per the statement, the offering will extend beyond PayPal and include its subsidiary Venmo. Users of Venmo and PayPal in the US will be able to purchase, hold, transfer, and sell both SOL and LINK with their accounts. May Zabaneh, Paypal’s VP for Digital Currencies revealed that expanding its cryptocurrency offerings was an obvious choice for the company. Zabaneh disclosed that feedback from users confirmed the need to allow consumers to interact with SOL and LINK. “Offering more tokens on PayPal and Venmo provides users with greater flexibility, choice, and access to digital currencies,” said Zabaneh. With the addition of SOL and LINK, PayPal supports seven cryptocurrencies on its platform. The firm waded into cryptocurrencies back in 2020 starting with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) offerings for consumers. Early successes saw it expand to Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) before launching its stablecoin PayPal USD(PYUSD). Institutional adoption for SOL is rising with Polymarket integrating Solana by enabling SOL deposits. Chainlink is riding its wave of partnerships and integrations with institutional and enterprise utility at the core. Why Did The Payment Giant Choose SOL and LINK? PayPal’s decision to expand to SOL and LINK flows from their inherent capabilities and massive adoption figures. According to the statement, PayPal sees Chainlink as a key player in cross-chain interoperability while describing Solana as a “leading blockchain platform.” Both SOL and LINK are in the top 11 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization with a combined valuation of over $80 billion. Chainlink’s ADGM partnership to build tokenization frameworks in the UAE is the latest high-profile play for the Web 3 infrastructure platform. Furthermore, the company says the decision underscores the company’s cryptocurrency-facing ambitions in recent years. PYUSD has its sights on challenging USDT and USDC dominance with PayPal neck-deep in cryptocurrencies. “The addition of LINK and SOL reflects the company’s dedication to the evolving digital currency landscape and fostering greater accessibility and engagement in the cryptocurrency market,” read the statement. Apart from PayPal and Polymarket, BlackRock’s BUIDL has launched on Solana in a strong case for institutional adoption. Both SOL and LINK have reacted positively to the announcement, rising 5.42% and 1.37 respectively.
