PayPal Launches Cross-Chain Crypto Payments — Powered by LayerZero
In May 2025, PayPal announced the official rollout of its cross-chain crypto payments service, enabling users to send and receive multiple cryptocurrencies across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain seamlessly.
🔄 The system uses LayerZero’s omnichain protocol to handle behind-the-scenes bridging, eliminating the need for users to manually swap or bridge tokens.
💡 PayPal’s move is seen as a bold attempt to become the default Web3 payment gateway, giving over 500 million users easy access to DeFi, NFTs, and global crypto payments — all from within the PayPal app.
📢 Analysts predict this could be a game-changer for mass adoption, especially as PayPal integrates fiat on-ramps directly into the cross-chain experience.
