The funds are then converted to the company\u2019s own stablecoin, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/coinbase-paypal-pyusd-stablecoin-set-for-listing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">PYUSD<\/a>, before being settled into US Dollars and sent to the merchant.<\/p>\n<p>For the first year, PayPal is set to offer a transaction fee of 0.99%. This rate \u201cdecreases the cost of transactions by up to 90% when compared to international credit card processing,\u201d as per the press release. After the first year, the rate will be pushed up to 1.5%, according to Fortune.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy enabling seamless cross-border crypto payments, we\u2019re breaking long-standing barriers in global commerce,\u201d added the PayPal CEO. \u201cThese innovations don\u2019t just simplify payments\u2014they drive merchant growth, expand consumer choice, and reduce costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move is just the latest in PayPal\u2019s push toward digital assets. Last year, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/paypal-enables-to-buy-hold-and-sell-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">enabled<\/a> US businesses to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies directly from their business accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The firm\u2019s Pay with Crypto is set to be available to merchants in the US in the coming weeks.
