PayPal Enables Its U.S. Users to Buy, Sell and Hold Bitcoin

2020-10-21 15:43

PayPal announced a new service devoted to cryptocurrencies. It will enable users of one of the world’s largest payment systems to buy, sell, and hold crypto. Paxos will custody the assets as well as provide PayPal with liquidity. 

PayPal Integrates Bitcoin

Among the motivating factors for introducing a new service, the company named the pandemic and government interest in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). PayPal highlighted that one in ten central banks plan to issue a CBDC soon.

It’s worth noting that the service will also be available to 26 million merchants connected to PayPal. It’s a significant development for cryptocurrency adoption, as crypto will be used to trade goods on a global scale. CEO of Paxos, Charles Cascarilla, shared with Crypto Briefing that

“The PayPal global ecosystem has 346 million active accounts (including more than 26 million merchant accounts), and has the potential to significantly influence the size and reach of crypto markets in the years to come.”

While the company’s CEO, Dan Schulman, stressed the importance of working with central banks and regulators, the concept of CBDC is still nascent. In the meantime, the payments company has taken advantage of cryptocurrencies that already exist on the market. 

The initial list of crypto available for purchasing via PayPal digital wallet includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. The service will be enabled for the U.S. customers in the following weeks.

There will be no fees for buying or selling crypto on PayPal until the end of 2020, and the service will not impose fees for crypto storage.

Going further, PayPal signaled its intention to extend the new offering to Venmo and several international markets in 2021.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Upward Drift Continues Following Established Macro Support

Since mid-February, the bitcoin market has continued to drift upward toward a band of strong, macro resistance (shown below as a red band). This slow, drift upward marks our fourth test of the resistance zone and, unlike the three prior tests, our rejection of the level has shown a weakness on the side of the bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Fourth RejectionIf we compare the three prior rejections (labeled 1, 2 and 3), we see that the move into this resistance level was violent — and had equally violent rejections.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Slow Upward Drift Tests Market Supply

The upward drift is bringing us slowly to a level that was previously rejected violently:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Upward DriftOur third rejection of the red resistance level shown above brought the market into a test of macro support in the mid-$3,000s.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Slow Grind Could Lead to Short Squeeze

Last Friday, we discussed a macro resistance level bitcoin would likely test. The level was tested three times prior and immediately rejected. Now, for the fourth time, we find ourselves situated above the level as we wait to see if our support holds:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Fourth Test of Macro ResistanceThe first three attempts to hold support above the black, broken resistance have been stifled with relatively high amounts of volume.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Could Three Times Be the Charm for This Resistance Level?

Bitcoin remains in its tightly coiled range as the market continues its sideways trend for the third week in a row. While macro support has been tested three times recently, we have yet to test the overhanging macro resistance:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe blue zone outlined above shows a very strong zone of support that, over the last few weeks, has seen three strong tests and has led to a slowly upward-drifting market consolidation.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: New High Paves Potential Reversal Setup

After days and days of consolidation, bitcoin finally managed to break a new high for the first time in almost two weeks. This new high, so far, has been short lived, however, as it was almost immediately sold into by eager bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, 4-Hour Candles, New HighOur current 4-hour candle is seeing a relatively easy retracement after days and days of an upward grind.
