The company says it has also increased its weekly purchase limit up to $20,000.
PayPal first reported about its support for cryptocurrencies in October. The company said then that the migration toward crypto payments and digital representations of value "continues to accelerate, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased interest in digital currencies from central banks and consumers."
PayPal plans to allow all of its clients to use crypto services starting from 2021. Consumers will be able to instantly convert their selected cryptocurrency balance to fiat currency, with certainty of value and no incremental fees, the company emphasized.
In November, Northumbria Police issued a warning via its official Twitter account over a crypto-focused scam pretending to be PayPal's help service.
