This move is a game-changer for PayPal users in the United States who have been waiting for more crypto options.
By adding these coins, PayPal is shaking things up. It’s showing that it’s serious about becoming a key player in the crypto space.
PayPal Expands Crypto with $SOL and $LINK
For those who aren’t familiar, Solana is a fast and cost-effective blockchain that’s gained popularity for its ability to handle a high volume of transactions without breaking the bank. Chainlink, on the other hand, is a decentralized oracle network that helps blockchains communicate with the real world. It’s like a bridge connecting smart contracts with outside data and has been a go-to for many blockchain projects.
With these additions, PayPal is offering users more choices when it comes to buying, selling, and holding crypto. In the past, PayPal only offered Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. But now, the inclusion of $SOL and $LINK gives users more options and allows them to diversify their portfolios.

For PayPal, this expansion is no small potatoes. It’s part of the company’s larger strategy to tap into the booming crypto market. By offering more coins, PayPal can attract new users and keep its current customers happy. Plus, it’s a way to stay competitive as other financial platforms, like Venmo and Cash App, also integrate more cryptocurrency services.
