I've heard that PayPal now offers cryptocurrency services, and I'm wondering why they would choose to hold crypto. What are their reasons for getting into this market? Is it just for the potential profits, or are there other strategic considerations? Why does PayPal hold crypto?

The reason for this delay is to ensure that the outstanding amount has been properly processed and verified.
