PayPal brings PayPal payments to US crypto buyers to boost adoption

Latvia-based digital asset exchange Paybis said it has begun allowing US customers to buy crypto using PayPal, as crypto companies increasingly turn to established payment brands to attract mainstream users and improve trust in digital asset transactions.

The crypto platform, which reports 6.9 million users worldwide, said the move is aimed at improving conversion rates and reducing friction for new crypto buyers.

According to a May 2025 Harris Poll for the National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA), 43% of US non-crypto owners cite security concerns as a barrier, while more than two-thirds say they're interested in getting into crypto but don't know where to start.

At Consensus 2026 Miami, industry representatives from NCA, Circle and ChangeNOW emphasized that trust remains a major barrier to crypto adoption, largely due to complexity and lack of understanding among non-users.

“Our mission is to make buying crypto the most trusted, easy and human, and it starts with the way people make their first transaction. Bringing PayPal to US consumers for crypto combines one of the world's most popular payment brands with Paybis' secure and compliant exchange infrastructure,” Paybis CEO and Founder Innocent Isers said.

According to Paybis, users can complete crypto purchases through PayPal in the same way they do other online transactions, with funds deposited into wallets within minutes of authorization.

Transaction sizes on the platform range from $5 to $1 million for eligible purchases, allowing the service to cater to both entry-level and high-volume users.

Paybis now supports more than 20 payment methods and is one of the leading crypto on-ramp providers offering PayPal payments in both the US and European markets.

“American consumers are leading the charge on crypto but need more trusted payment methods,” Essers added. “Our mission is to make crypto as trusted and transparent as possible for as many people as possible, and adding PayPal to our list of payment methods brings that one big step closer.”
