PayPal expands P2P payments to include crypto transfers in U.S.

PayPal is expanding its peer-to-peer payment system to allow U.S. users to send and receive cryptocurrencies directly within the PayPal app.

Summary
  • The P2P crypto feature initially supports BTC, ETH, and PYUSD, allowing seamless transfers across PayPal accounts, Venmo, and other compatible wallets.
  • The P2P crypto feature builds on PayPal’s July 2025 “Pay with Crypto” launch, which enabled merchants to accept over 100 cryptocurrencies with instant conversion and lower fees.

PayPal has announced that it will soon allow U.S. users to send and receive crypto directly through its peer-to-peer payment system within the app. The new functionality will support Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and PayPal’s own stablecoin, PYUSD, enabling digital asset transfers between PayPal accounts, Venmo, and other compatible wallets.

In tandem with the P2P crypto rollout, PayPal is introducing “PayPal Links,” a feature that allows users to generate personalized links for sending or requesting funds via text, chat, or email.

PayPal doubles down on P2P as Q2 payment volume climbs

The P2P crypto rollout is part of PayPal’s broader “PayPal World” initiative, which seeks to connect major digital wallets and payment networks globally. With P2P transactions fueling strong momentum—consumer payment volume increased 10% YoY in Q2—PayPal is using its expanded crypto offerings to further accelerate growth.

This move builds on PayPal’s previous crypto initiatives, most notably the July launch of the “Pay with Crypto” feature for merchants. That platform enabled U.S. businesses to accept payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, and PYUSD, with near-instant conversion into stablecoins and lower transaction fees.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
