Kraken Supercharges U.S. Crypto Access: PayPal Integration Goes Live
Kraken just handed U.S. traders a golden ticket—instant fiat ramps via PayPal. No more waiting days for ACH transfers while Bitcoin moons without you.
Frictionless onboarding meets bullish markets
The exchange’s move slashes the last barrier for normies: sluggish bank links. Now buying crypto takes seconds, not sermons about 'waiting periods' from legacy finance dinosaurs.
Watch out, Coinbase—Kraken’s gunning for your retail throne. And PayPal? Finally useful for something beyond eBay scams and subscription traps.
PayPal continues to expand its crypto ecosystem
This rollout comes as PayPal intensifies its push into digital assets. The company recently unveiled “Pay with Crypto,” a solution for U.S. merchants supporting over 100 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), and leading stablecoins. Designed to reduce cross-border fees by up to 90%, it enables instant settlement and conversion to stablecoins or fiat. Kraken is among the exchanges integrated into this feature alongside Coinbase, OKX, and Binance.
Additionally, PayPal’s stablecoin PYUSD is gaining traction, having recently been added to Visa’s settlement platform alongside USDG and EURC.
