PayPal is again the talk in the crypto community as it seems the platform has announced a partnership with Paxos to enable users to sell and buy cryptocurrencies. According to CoinDesk and now other websites, PayPal will have a partnership with Paxos and the official announcement is expected to happen before the end of the week.
The confirmation of this partnership would mean around 325 million users will have access to cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin. A massive partnership that would very likely become the spark of the next bull run.
