PayPal is broadening its digital asset offerings by adding Chainlink (LINK) and Solana (SOL) to its crypto lineup, a move that strengthens its presence in the crypto space amid increasing regulatory clarity in the U.S.
Starting in the coming weeks, users of both PayPal and Venmo in the U.S. will be able to buy, hold, sell, and transfer LINK and SOL directly through their accounts. This marks another step in the company’s ongoing efforts to make crypto more accessible to everyday users.
“Offering more tokens on PayPal and Venmo provides users with greater flexibility, choice, and access to digital currencies,” said May Zabaneh, PayPal’s Vice President of Blockchain, Crypto, and Digital Currencies, in a company statement.
PayPal first introduced crypto functionality in 2020 and has since steadily expanded its footprint in the sector. Last year, the payments giant launched a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin and began offering direct crypto access to its business clients.
With the addition of Chainlink and Solana, PayPal continues to build out a broader crypto ecosystem — one designed to meet growing user demand and position the platform as a key player in the evolving digital finance landscape.
