PayPal To Make Sending Bitcoin, Ethereum, PYUSD Easier Via One-Time Payment Links

PayPal is about to make crypto transfers in the US easier with one-time payment links for Bitcoin, Ethereum, PYUSD, and other tokens.

Users will be able to generate a single-use link in the app to send payments via text, email, or direct message, according to a press release. Links expire after ten days, and transfers between friends and family via PayPal and Venmo are exempt from 1099-K reporting, meaning users won’t have to file extra tax forms for these transactions.

The move signals a push to makes crypto payments more practical for everyday use. PayPal plans to expand the feature internationally and allow one-time crypto payments for a broader range of cryptos, signaling a push to take digital assets mainstream.

Before unclaimed links expire, users can also send reminders or cancel the payment request before the link is claimed, the announcement added. Once accepted, payments will be instant.

The program was initially launched for US users for dollar payments, but PayPal said in its release that crypto payments will be added “soon.” 

“Crypto will soon be directly integrated into PayPal’s new P2P payment flow in the app,” it said. “This will make it more convenient for PayPal users in the U.S. to send Bitcoin, Ethereum, PYUSD, and more, to PayPal, Venmo, as well a rapidly growing number of digital wallets across the world that support crypto and stablecoins.”

In addition to adding more payment options in the near future, the program will also be expanded to the UK, Italy, and other markets “starting later this month,” the company said. 

PayPal Says P2P Payments Poised For ‘Greater Momentum’

PayPal said its P2P and other consumer payment volume saw solid growth in the second quarter, with a 10% growth year-over-year.

It added that its P2P offering “is poised for even greater momentum in the future” following the launch of PayPal World, which is a platform that connects the world’s largest digital payments systems and wallets including PayPal and Venmo.

That platform will also make it possible for PayPal and Venmo users to easily swap select crypto tokens directly between user accounts, as well as send tokens to other digital wallets that support crypto and stablecoins.

PayPal Already Active In The Crypto Space

The upcoming crypto integration within the PayPal Links program is not the first move by the payments giant into the digital asset space. 

Back in Oct. 20, PayPal launched a service for US customers to buy, hold, and sell selected cryptos, which included Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin directly via their PayPal accounts.

In August of 2023, the company also launched its own US dollar-denominated stablecoin called PayPal USD (PYUSD). It is an Ethereum token that follows the ERC-20 token standards, and is issued through Paxos Trust Company LLC, which is a fully chartered limited purpose trust company.

The token is also backed by US dollar deposits, short-term US Treasuries, and similar cash equivalents, allowing users to redeem PYUSD 1:1 for USD. 

Since that launch, PYUSD has expanded to other blockchain networks such as Solana, and can also be used to fund remittances on Xoom with zero fees. To attract more users, PayPal has said that eligible accounts holding PYUSD will have no fees for buys, sells, or transfers. Transfers to friends on Venmo have no network fees as well.

PYUSD currently has a market cap of more than $1.26 billion, ranking it as the sixth-largest stablecoin in the market, according to data from CoinMarketCap. 

That was after the stablecoin experienced significant growth since the start of 2024, when its capitalization was around $234 million.

PYUSD’s current market cap places it one position above First Digital USD (FDUSD) and one position below the Trump Family’s World Liberty Financial USD (USD1). 

Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) are still the top stablecoins by market cap, with USDT’s capitalization of over $170.29 billion and USDC’s capitalization standing at more than $73.12 billion.

Overall, the stablecoin market cap stands at over $302 billion. These tokens started gaining accelerated traction after US President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law.

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price. This built-in mechanism creates a clear advantage for early investors and explains why the project is increasingly cited in “best presales to buy now” discussions across the crypto space. High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
