PayPal developing its cryptocurrency
PayPal is also enhancing its interest in the cryptocurrency sector after pulling out of Facebook’s Project Libra. The payment services provider addressed the decision to pull out of the stablecoin project adding that it was focusing on developing its cryptocurrency. In a letter to the European Commission (EC) the company confirmed its interest to build distributed ledger technology and cryptocurrency development. PayPal is interested in how the technology will reduce pain points in the sector as well as enhance financial inclusion.
Although no further details have been provided about the plans, last month CoinDesk reported that the payment giant and its Venmo division were planning to launch direct crypto sales to users in the coming months. According to the EC letter that was sent in March, PayPal is supporting the harmonized EU licensing approach that seeks to clarify some aspects in the industry regarding cryptocurrency activities and a neutral regulation approach for tech.
