  • Crypto proceeds are instantly converted into PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin and then into U.S. dollars so merchants receive stable, predictable payouts.
  • Merchants will pay a promotional 0.99% fee on crypto transactions for the first year, rising to 1.5% after the introductory period.
  • PayPal estimates the new flow can reduce international transaction expenses by as much as 90% compared with traditional credit card and banking fees.
