Crypto “Super App” & More From PayPal
Crypto development and expansion for PayPal seem to be on the up and up. During the company’s second-quarter earnings call, CEO Dan Schulman stated that “the initial version of our new new consumer wallet super app is code complete and we are now beginning to slowly ramp.” Schulman added that features will likely include “high-yield savings, early access to direct deposit funds, new and improved bill pay functionality, messaging capabilities outside of P2P to enable family and friend communications” and more.

Last month, the firm also removed their annual purchase limit on crypto, and raised their weekly limit to $100K. The bumps were substantial previous weekly limit was $20K, and previous annual limit was $50K. These moves look to be the start of more aggressive maneuvers for PayPal in crypto. “We’re right in the middle of some open banking integration,” Schulman noted on the earnings call, which would “increase the ability to fully integrate it into ACH and do faster payments.”
The new crypto job listings come right on the cusp of PayPal competitor Square releasing strong year-over-year growth in bitcoin revenue and profits.
PayPal crypto launched in October 2020. Shortly after launch, U.S. customers were able to buy, sell and store Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash. Could more global access be on the horizon for PayPal customers?
