Global payment giant PayPal is planning to bring all possible blockchain and cryptocurrency integrations to its services, according to a senior executive at the firm.

⠀

Speaking to Cointelegraph at the World Economic Forum (WEF), PayPal Vice President Richard Nash said the firm is dedicated to adding support for all digital currencies and central bank digital currencies.

⠀

“Just walking slowly in the crypto shield with buys or holds in certain jurisdictions. [...] Looking to work with others to embrace everything we can, whether it’d be the coins that we have today in PayPal digital wallets, private digital currencies or CBDCs in the future,” Nash noted.

⠀

PayPal first launched the ability to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrency in the United States back in 2020, and ever since has continued to expand its cryptocurrency offerings.

⠀

Currently, PayPal allows its customers in the U.S and U.K. to buy, sell and hold Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

⠀

When asked whether he holds any crypto himself, Nash hinted yes, responding to the question by saying, “I have a lot of things that I’m working on at PayPal, and I like to experience services myself, so I think that’s natural.”
